A town interested in installing wind turbines to generate electricity measures the speed of the wind in the town over the course

of a year. They find that most of the time, the wind speed is pretty slow, while only rarely does the wind blow very fast during a storm. What would be the best measure of the central wind speed they should report to the mayor?

Answer:

A town interested in installing wind turbines to generate electricity measures the speed of the wind in the town over the course of a year. They find that most of the time, the wind speed is pretty slow, while only rarely does the wind blow very fast during a storm. What would be the best measure of the central wind speed they should report to the mayor?

The median is the best measure of the central wind speed they should report to the mayor because the distribution is not symmetric. The distribution of wind speeds is skewed.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario described in the question, the median is the best measure of the central wind speed they should report to the mayor because the distribution is not symmetric. The distribution of wind speeds is skewed.

Use the passage to answer the question.
Studentka2010 [4]

This is not something that waves do because they need a medium to travel through, while particles do not.

<h3>How light travels in space?</h3>

A light travels without any medium while on the other hand, a medium is required for sound waves to move from oe place to another. Sound is a mechanical wave that cannot travel through a vacuum.

So we can conclude that electromagnetic waves like light do not require medium for its propagation.

A friend of yours who is traveling the world reports that she recently experienced a day on which the surface wind blew from the
klasskru [66]

Answer:

At that time, she was in the southern hemisphere

Explanation:

She is witnessing the southeastern trade breeze because the cloud is passing from east to west and she is also witnessing a storm from the southeast.

Because of the Coriolis effect, which deviates the atmosphere in the left-hand side of the southern hemisphere and generates a southeastern wind, this wind did not blow directly from south to east.
