The histogram represents the distributions of boiling temperatures, in degrees Celsius, of tap water and a mixture of salt water

. The standard deviation of the tap water data is 1.129. The standard deviation of the salt water data is 1.107. Which explains why the standard deviation is the best measure of variability to use to compare the data?
The two distributions are each nearly symmetric.
The distributions do not overlap on the same range of temperatures.
The distribution of salt water boiling temperatures is left-skewed.
The distribution of tap water boiling temperatures is right-skewed.

Answer:

The two distributions are each nearly symmetric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Symmetric distributions are those in which the data occurs in regular frequencies.

If we calculate the difference between the two standard deviations we find that it is only  0.022 which may be due to the physical or chemical properties of water or salt. So it lies within the same range and is almost symmetrical.

We cannot say that the distributions do not overlap on the same range of temperatures because they lie within the same range.

These two options are also incorrect as they are totally opposite of each other. Suppose the  distribution of salt water boiling temperatures is left-skewed then the distribution of tap water boiling temperatures cannot be  right-skewed as they have the same range and vice versa.

Each pitcher of power smoothie that Ginger makes has 2 scoops of pineapple, 4 scoops of strawberries, 1 scoop of spinach, and 1
Trava [24]

Given :

Each pitcher of power smoothie that Ginger makes has 2 scoops of pineapple, 4 scoops of strawberries, 1 scoop of spinach, and 1 scoop of kale.

To Find :

If Ginger makes 6 pitchers of power smoothies, how many scoops will she use in all.

Solution :

Let, Ginger makes x pitchers of power smoothies :

Total \ scoops = 2x+4x+x+x+6x

Now, it is given that Ginger makes 6 pitchers of power smoothies.

Total scoops are :

T=2(6)+4(6)+6+6+6(6)\\\\T=84\ scoops

Therefore, number of scoops Ginger used is 84.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

x=11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4+5x‒7=10+3x‒2

5x‒3=8+3x

5x‒3x=8+3

2x=11

2x/2=11/2

x=11/2

A painter has a 24 foot ladder that he is using to paint a house. For safety reasons, the ladder must be placed at least 8 feet
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The ladder can reach a height of 22.6 feet.  

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the height that the ladder can reach, you need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.  The Pythagorean Theorem assumes that the house to the ground will form a right triangle and the leaning ladder is the hypotenuse.  Using the formula:  a² + b² = c², we can plug in the values that we know and solve for the missing variable.  In this case we know the base of the triangle 'b' and the hypotenuse 'c':  a² + 8² = 24² or a² + 64 = 576.  To solve for a, we must first subtract 64 from both sides:  a² + 64 - 64 = 576 - 64 or a² = 512.  In order to find just the value of 'a', which represents the height, we need to take the square root of both sides:  √a² = √512 or a ≈ 22.6 feet.

Which is the graph of the function f(x) = 1/2x2 + 2x - 6?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1/2 x^2 + 2x - 6 = 0

(1/2 x - 1)(x + 6) = 0

zeroes are 2 and -6

so the graph intersects x axis at -6 and 2

The only one to do that is diagram A
