The median rainfall during a spring storm in the lowlands is about 4 mm less than a spring storm in the highlands. The mean rain

fall for the lowlands is about 3 mm less than for the highlands. Why is there a difference in the central measures for each data set?

The mean and the median are different  because the data for the highlands has more variation than the data for the lowlands. The mean is affected by the outliers in the lowlands data.

Median is just the value that is neither the highest nor the lowest compared with the other values in the set


Mean is just the average of the numbers which is found out by adding up all the numbers then dividing the sum by the number of values in the set

The measure of angle A to the nearest tenth of a degree is: A 18.5 B 19.5 C 20.5
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B


Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This is a right triangle as shown by the right angle.</u>

  • The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse, which is 9.
  • The side opposite angle A is 3.

So we have the opposite of A and the hypotenuse.

The trigonometric ratio that relates opposite side to hypotenuse is SINE.

sin\theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Since, we need angle A, \theta is A, opposite side is 3, and hypotenuse is 9, we substitute:

sinA=\frac{3}{9}\\sinA=\frac{1}{3}

<em>To solve for the angle, we use our calculator and find the inverse sin of \frac{1}{3} :</em>

A=sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{3})\\A=19.47

<em>Rounding to nearest tenth of a degree:</em>

A=19.5

B is the right choice.

In 1999, there were 9860 Great Danes registered with the American Kennel Club. The number of
dybincka [34]

Answer:

154,897

Step-by-step explanation:

Labradors were

6997 MORE than 15 TIME Danes

So, first, what is 15 times Danes??

Given 9860 Danes, fifteen times Danes would be:

9860 * 15 = 147,900

Now, 6997 MORE to that, it would be:

147,900 + 6997 = 154,897

Thus,

There were 154,897 registered Labrador Retrievers

A linear function has an x-intercept of 12 and a slope of 3/8. How does this
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

O It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = 3/8

b = 12

y = (3/8)x + 12

---

Data in the table:  slope is the rise (y) over the run (x) between two points (assuming the data represent a linear line).

 Change in x and y between two points.  I'll choose (-2/3,-3/4) and (1/3,-3/8).

Change in y:  (-3/8 - (-3/4)) = (-3/8 - (-6/8))  =  3/8

Change in x:  (1/3 - (-2/3)) = (1/3+2/3) = 3/3 = 1

Slope = (Change in y)/(Change in x) = (3/8)/1 = 3/8

The slope of the equation is the same as the data in the table.

Now let's determine if the y-intercept is also the same (12).  The equation for the data table is y = (2/3)x + b, and we want to find b.  Enter any of the data points for x and y and then solve for b.  I'll use (-2/3, -3/4)

y = (3/8)x + b

Use (-2/3, -3/4)

-3/4 =- (3/8)(-2/3) + b

-3/4 = (-6/24) + b

b = -(3/4) + (6/24)

b = -(9/12) + (3/12)

b = -(6/12)

b = -(1/2)

The equation of the line formed by the data table is y = (3/8)x -(1/2)

Therefore, It has the same slope and a different y-intercept.
