Answer: Choice A) mean, there are no outliers
Have a look at the image attached below. I made two dotplots for the data points. The blue points represent bakery A. The red points represent bakery B. For any bakery, the points are fairly close together. There is no point that is off on its own. So there are no outliers, making the mean a good choice for the center. If there were outliers, then the median is a better choice. The mean is greatly affected by outliers, while the median is not.
Answer:
Maximum area = 800 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached,
Rectangle is showing width = x ft and the side towards garage is not to be fenced.
Length of the fence has been given as 80 ft.
Therefore, length of the fence = Sum of all three sides of the rectangle to be fenced
80 = x + x + y
80 = 2x + y
y = (80 - 2x)
Now area of the rectangle A = xy
Or function that represents the area of the rectangle is,
A(x) = x(80 - 2x)
A(x) = 80x - 2x²
To find the maximum area we will take the derivative of the function with respect to x and equate it to zero.
= 80 - 4x
A'(x) = 80 - 4x = 0
4x = 80
x =
x = 20
Therefore, for x = 20 ft area of the rectangular patio will be maximum.
A(20) = 80×(20) - 2×(20)²
= 1600 - 800
= 800 square feet
Maximum area of the patio is 800 square feet.
