Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for each canoe is 3.5 hours

The total distance traveled by the first canoe is not known. Nor is the distance for the second canoe. We do know that the difference is 5.25 miles.

So let the rate of the slower canoe = x

Let the rate for the second canoe = 2x

The first canoe goes a distance of 2*x * 3.5 = 7x

The second canoe goes a distance of 3.5x

The difference = 7x - 3.5x = 5.25

3.5x = 5.25                                       divide by 3.5

x = 5.25/3.5

x = 1.5 which is the rate of the slower canoe

2x = 3  which is the rate of the faster canoe

Which measure of central tendency best describes this situation: the numbers of apples in 2-lb bags?
katrin [286]

Which measure of central tendency best describes this situation:

The number of apples in 2-lb bags?

Solution: The best measure of central tendency to describe the numbers of apples in 2-lb bags is mean. Because the variable under consideration is numeric and probably we would not see outliers in 2-lb bags.

Mean is the defined as the sum of observations divided by the number of observation. The mean takes into account all the observation of the data. Mean is most preferable when the data is numeric and there are no outliers in the data.

Therefore, in the given situation, where we have number of apples in 2-lb bags, the mean will be best to use.
