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.

(Please Help!) Find the radius of a circle so that its area and circumference have the same value.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

the radius must equal 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A = pi * r^2       C = 2 * pi *r

set them equal

pi * r^2 = 2 * pi *r

divide both sides by pi

r^2 = 2 * r

divide both sides by r

r^2 /r = 2r/r

r = 2
