Answer:

The correct options are;

B) The mean and median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies

B) Since the security company appear to have collected lower revenue than other companies, there is some evidence of stealing by the security company's employees

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the acronym SC for the security company and OC for the other company

SC OC

1.6 1.5

1.8 2.1

1.6 1.9

1.8 2.2

1.7 1.9

1.2 1.7

1.1 2.1

1.2 2.2

1.2 2.2

1.5 1.8

∑x    14.7   19.6

The mean is given by  ∑x/n

n = 10

               SC        OC

∴ Mean 1.47      1.96

The median is the \frac{n + 1}{n} th  \ term

Hence

               SC         OC

Median 1.55         2

Therefore, the mean and median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies.

b) Since the security company appear to have collected lower revenue than other companies, there is some evidence of stealing by the security company's employees.

Which could be the first step in simplifying this expression? Check all that apply. (x^3x^-6)^2
allsm [11]
If the expression is what I understand it is, this is my answer. (x to the third times x to the negative sixth all squared)

First, i would simplify what is inside the parentheses. x^-6 is the equivalent to
1/x^6. Therefore, the expression inside the parentheses is a fraction: x^3/x^6.

When dividing numbers with exponents, just subtract the exponents. 
3-6= -3     so the simplification of the expression in the parentheses is 1/x^3.

To finish the problem, I would apply the square from outside the parentheses to the values inside them. In this way, the exponent would be multiplied by 2.

Our final answer is 1/x^6.
