The median is right for apex

The answer is the median m = 117.5.

Explanation:
let's calculate the three central tendency measures:
- mean = μ = (<span>22 + 114 + 115 + 120 + 122 + 125) / 6 = 103

- median = m: we have 6 values, therefore the median will be the average between the third and the fourth value:
</span><span>22 114 115 | 120 122 125
m = (115 + 120) / 2 = 117.5

- mode: all the values appear only once, therefore the mode is not applicable.

Since our values are not symmetrically distributed (we have 22 which differs a lot from the other values), the median should be preferred than the mean as best central tendency measure.

Which expression is not a polynomial?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A term in a polynomial is a single number or a number multiplied by any number of variables. A polynomial is a sum of terms.

The only thing that can be done with variables in a polynomial is to multiply them by numbers or other variables. In a polynomial, you cannot: divide by a variable (have a variable in a denominator), have a root of a variable, have a log of a variable, have a variable as an exponent, etc.

All expressions are polynomials except for D. In D., the negative exponents mean division by variables.

A bank manager wants to encourage new customers to open accounts with principals of at least $2 comma 500. He decides to make a

prisoha [69]

Answer:

To earn $10 in 1st month, the principal must be $4,000.

No, the poster cannot claim that "Open an account of $2 comma 500 and earn at least $10 interest in 1 month!".

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a bank manager wants to encourage new customers to open accounts with principals of at least $2,500. He decides to make a poster advertising a simple interest rate of 3%. We are asked to find the principal to advertise that one can earn $10 the first month.

We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.

$I=Prt$ , where,

I = Amount of interest,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

t = Time in years.

$r=3\%=\frac{3}{100}=0.03$

1 month will be equal to $\frac{1}{12}$ .

$\$10=P\cdot0.03\cdot \frac{1}{12}$

$\$10=0.0025P$

$\frac{\$10}{0.0025}=\frac{0.0025P}{0.0025}$

$P=\$4000$

Therefore, to earn $10 in 1st month, the principal must be $4,000.

Now, we will check if an account of $2,500 can earn at least $10 interest in 1 month.

$I=\$2500\cdot 0.03\cdot \frac{1}{12}$

$I=\$6.25$

Since the account earns an amount of $6.25 in one month, therefore, the poster is not true.

Alexeev081 [22]

If he makes 15 out of 25 free throws then his shooting percentage will be 60%.
To figure it out just put 11 divided by 25 in your calculator and get .44 which is 44%. keep going up in numbers until you get .6 percent or 60 percent
