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.

Use completing the square to solve for x in the equation (x-12)(x+4)= 9.
iragen [17]

Answer:

x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x = 4 - sqrt(73)

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

(x - 12) (x + 4) = 9

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 8 x - 48 = 9

Add 48 to both sides:

x^2 - 8 x = 57

Add 16 to both sides:

x^2 - 8 x + 16 = 73

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 4)^2 = 73

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 4 = sqrt(73) or x - 4 = -sqrt(73)

Add 4 to both sides:

x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x - 4 = -sqrt(73)

Add 4 to both sides:

Answer:  x = 4 + sqrt(73) or x = 4 - sqrt(73)

P is less than or equal to (<) 110-52 you want to use the < sign with a line under it. The minus 52 is because he has already thrown 52 out of his 110 and P is how many pitches he is alloted
