What is an appropriate measure to record your weight?

Reil [10]3 years ago

That depends on where you live.  The purpose of writing down your
weight is often to tell other people what your weight is, so you want to
record it in units that the other people around you understand.

If you live in rural Scotland or Ireland, then you'd want to record it
in terms of stones and pounds.

If you live in Liberia, Myanmar, or the USA, then you'd probably
weigh yourself and record the results in pounds.

Anywhere in the rest of the world, it would be recorded in terms of kilograms.

You must be especially careful in the USA.  Here, you must not allow
any metric units to appear anywhere in your records, for if the eye of
an American should chance to fall on any written mention of a liter,
a meter, or a kilogram, the effect on his American physiognomy is
toxic.  His blood evaporates, his eyes turn backwards in their sockets,
and his abdomen falls out onto the floor.  Worst of all is the effect on
his brain.  It is well established now that having been born in the USA,
or after living there for some period of time, a person is incapable of
comprehending the metric system of units, so the rest of us must
protect them from it.

slava [35]

Answer:

  B) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first differences are increasing by 1 from term to term:

8-12 = -4

5-8 = -3

3-5 = -2

2-3 = -1 . . . . . if the next term is 2, as we believe it should be.

<em>Comment on number sequences</em>

Any finite length sequence of n numbers can be modeled exactly by an n-1 degree polynomial. That is, a 4th-degree polynomial can be made to describe the sequence regardless of the next term you may choose.

If you choose the next term to be 2 as we suggest, then the sequence can be modeled by a 2nd-degree polynomial ...

  (n² -11n +34)/2 . . . . for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

12. Make a box-and-whisker plot of the data. (1 point)
Sophie [7]

The box-and-whisker plot of the data, showing the five-number summary, is shown in the image atatched below.

<h3>What is the Box-and-whisker Plot?</h3>

The box-and-whisker plot is a plot that displays the minimum, maximum, median, lower and upper quartile of a data, which is termed as the five-number summary of a data.

Given the data, 20, 23, 28, 14, 13, 24, 18, 11, find the five-number summary:

  • Minimum - 11
  • Lower Quartile - 13.5
  • Median - 19
  • Upper Qaurtile - 23.5
  • Maximum - 28

Therefore, the box-and-whisker plot of the data, showing the five-number summary, is shown in the image atatched below.
