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.

The height of a wooden pole, h, is equal to 20 feet. A taut wire is stretched from a point on the ground to the top of the pole.

kykrilka [37]

ANSWER

D. 25 feet

EXPLANATION

The height of the wall,h, the taut wire and the distance from the base of the pole to the point on the ground, formed a right triangle.

According to the Pythagoras Theorem, the sum of the length of the squares of the two shorter legs equals the square of the hypotenuse.

Let the hypotenuse ( the length of the ) taught wire be,l.

Then

${l}^{2} = {h}^{2} + {b}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = {20}^{2} + {15}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = 400 + 225$

${l}^{2} = 625$

$l= \sqrt{625} = 25ft$

What are the points of discontinuity y=(x-5)/x^2-6x+5?

ollegr [7]

$y = \frac{x - 5}{x^{2} - 6x + 5}$
$y = \frac{x - 5}{(x - 1)(x - 5)}$
$y = \frac{1}{x - 1}$

x - 1 = 0
+ 1 + 1
x = 1
