Why is 12 inches 1 foot a conversion factor ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alinara [238K]4 years ago
3 0

I have no better answer than simply, because there are 12 inches in a foot.

By definition a conversion factor is one unit being used to express a group or multiple of another unit. Just like how there are 12 of anything in one dozen. 100 years in one century. 365 days in one year. 100 centimeters in a meter. 4 quarts in one gallon. 10 dimes in one dollar. They are equal to each other and, thus, can be used as conversion factors.

The asking price for homes on the real estate market in Baltimore has a mean value of​ $286,455 and a standard deviation of​ $11
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

c)

Step-by-step explanation:

The asking price in Baltimore has a mean value of $286,455 and a standard deviation of $11,200; this means that most houses prices fall between $275,255 and $297,655.

Similarly, the mean value in Denver is $188,468 and a standard deviation of $8,230; most houses prices fall between $180,238 and $196,698.

The problem tells us that one home sold in each city where the asking price for each home was $193,000. In the case of Denver this would be expected (values usually fall between 180,000 and 196500 approximately).

However, the house in Baltimore is relatively farther from the mean than the one in Denver because the price is more than one standard deviation away from the mean.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. The house in Baltimore is relatively farther from the mean than the house in Denver.
