Answer:

The correct answer is the length is 10 feet and width is 2 feet respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of the rectangular floor of Louis' basement be l feet and width be \frac{l}{5} feet respectively.

Area of the basement floor is given to be 500 square feet.

Therefore according to the given problem,

l × \frac{l}{5}  = 500

⇒ l^{2} = 100

⇒ l = 10 ; [length cannot be negative]

⇒ b = 2

Thus the length and width be 10 feet and 2 feet respectively.

The hourly wages earned by 20 employees are shown in the first box and whisker plot below. The person earning $15 per hour quits
serg [7]

I added the plots in the attachments.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The mean will decrease

The median will remain the same

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>1- checking the mean:</u>

<u>Mean of the salaries is calculated as follows:</u>

Mean = \frac{sum-of-salaries}{number-of-employees}

<u>Now, we can note that two parameters affect the mean, let's consider each:</u>

<u>a. Number of employees:</u>

We are given that one employee is replaced with another. This means that the number of employees did not change

<u>b. Sum of salaries:</u>

We are given that a person earning $15 left and the new person earns $7. This means that:

New sum of salaries = old sum of salaries - 15 + 7 = old sum of salaries - 8

This means that the sum of salaries decreased by 8

<u>Now, for the mean:</u>

We can conclude that since the numerator decreased while the denominator stayed the same, the mean will decrease

<u>2- checking the median:</u>

In the whisker plots, the median is represented by the vertical line inside the plot.

<u>In the first plot,</u> we can note that the vertical line is nearly half the distance between 9 and 10. This means that, for the first plot, the median is approximately 9.5

<u>In the second plot,</u> the place of the median is unchanged. It is still approximately midway between 9 and 10 which means that the median in the second plot is approximately 9.5

Therefore, the median of the data remains unchanged.

Hope this helps :)

A can of chicken stock measures 3.5 inches in diameter and is 5 inches tall. What is the volume of the can? Use 3.14 for pi. Rou
Margaret [11]
Volume of can, V = pi * r^2 * h
V = 3.14 * (3.5/2)^2 * 5
V = 3.14 * 1.75^2 * 5
V = 3.14 * 3.0625 * 5
V = 48.08125 inches^3
V = 48.08 inches^3
