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.

Ramen purchase a box of candy for himself on the way back to the dorm he ate 2/3 of the candy while he was putting away grocerie

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

12 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the original number of chocolates by c.

Then (1/4)(2/3)c = 2

Solving this for c, we multiply both sides by 4: (2/3)c = 8

and then multiply both sides by (3/2): c = (3/2)(8) = 12

Originally the box contained 12 chocolates.

Will ran the diagonal distance across a square field measuring 40 yards on each side. James ran the diagonal distance across a r

slamgirl [31]

Will ran the longest

He ran for 56.57 yards, 13.56 yards longer than James.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Will ran the diagonal across a square field measuring 40 yards in each side.

The diagonal of a square can be obtained by the square root of the sum of the squares of its 2 sides [Because it forms the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle]

Hence when the side is 40 yards , the diagonal would be

$\sqrt{40^{2} + 40^{2}} = \sqrt{1600 + 1600} = \sqrt{3200} =56.57 yards$

So Will ran for 56.57 yards

Step 2 :

James ran the diagonal of a rectangular field with 25 yards length and 35 yards width.

The diagonal of the rectangle can be obtained by the square root of the sum of squares of its length and width.

Hence when the length is 25 yards and width is 35 , the diagonal would be

$\sqrt{35^{2} + 25^{2}} = \sqrt{1225 + 625}} = \sqrt{1850} = 43.01$ yards

So James ran for 43.01 yards

Step 3 :

Will ran for 56.57 yards and 43.01 yards.

Hence Will ran for longer distance of 56.57 yards, which is 13.56 yards more than James.
