Answer:

  256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the first inscribed triangle are 1/2 those of the original, so its area is (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original. The area of the original is ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16/√2)(16/√2) = 64 . . . . square inches

The sum of an infinite series with first term 64 and common ratio 1/4 is ...

  S = a1/(1 -r) . . . . . . for first term a1 and common ratio r

  = 64/(1 -1/4) = 64(4/3) = 256/3 . . . . square inches

The sum of the areas of the triangles is 256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches.

what is the difference between the mean and the median of the following distribution? {1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,6,7,7,8,8,9
iren2701 [21]

The given distribution =

1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9

To find mean, we have to add the given numbers and divide it by the total number of terms given.

Here 21 total numbers given.

Mean = (1+1+1+2+2+2+2+3+3+4+4+4+4+5+5+6+7+7+8+8+9) /21

= (88)/21 = 4.19 (Approximate upto two decimal place)

Median is the middle value of the distribution.

1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9

There are 21 numbers given. So middle value is the number in the 11th position.

The number in the 11th position is 4.

So, the median of the distribution = 4

We have to find the difference between mean and median here. To find the difference we have to subtract mean and median.

Therefore, the required difference = 4.19 - 4 = 0.19

0.19 is the required answer here.

So, option b is correct.
