To mark X spot, the ribbon should be stretched diagonally from one end to another. Since the flag is a square, a diagonal cuts the square into 2 equal triangles. The diagonal length is the hypotenuse of the triangle, as the triangles formed are 2 right angled triangles.
Using Pythogoras' theorem, hypotenuse can be found out with the following equation;
H² = X² +X²
where H is the hypotenuse in other words the diagonal
X - length of the triangle, since its a square all lengths are equal
X- 12 inches
H² = 12² + 12²
    = 144+144 
H² = 288
H = 16.9 inches≈17 inches
to make the mark X he will need 2 strips of ribbons of length 17 inches each.
total length of the ribbon needed = 34 inches

What is the mean absolute deviation of the following data set
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

4.32

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the mean of the data set.

16, 11, 9, 12, 11, 10, 10, 8, 15, 0, 2, 15, 14, 7, 11, 5, 14, 20, 3, 11, 13, 7, 0, 5, 21 all added together equals 250. 250 divided by 25 = 10. So 10 is the mean.

Now we have to find the absolute distances of each number from the mean.

16 - 10 = 6... 11 - 10 = 1... so on, giving us this -->

6, 1, 1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 2, 5, 10, 8, 5, 4, 3, 1, 5, 4, 10, 7, 1, 3, 3, 10, 5, 11

Finally, we have to find the mean of the distances (which is done by adding all the numbers above and dividing the sum by the number of values there are).

108 divided by 25 = 4.32.

So, 4.32 is the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the following data set.

[Probability / Statistics) Twenty families were surveyed. How many have boys only? ​
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by seeing how many families we have in total, which is 20. We then must subtract the number of families with girls only, the number of families with both boys and girls, and the number of families with no children. 20 - 7 is 13, then 13 - 8 is 5, and 5 - 0 is 5.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

90%

Step-by-step explanation:

Complimentary means the same. And adding them together would equal 90. Just as you would divide 90 by 3, each individual angle would be equal to 30.
