Answer:

At the beginning

16 men and 24 women

In the end

16 men and 20 women

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the number of men on the bus and call y the number of women on the bus.

We know that the initial ratio between men and women is 2: 3

And the final ratio is 4: 5

So

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}\\\\y = \frac{3}{2}x   (1)

After the 4 women are down, the proportion is:

\frac{x}{y-4}=\frac{4}{5}\\\\y-4 = \frac{5}{4}x\\\\y= \frac{5}{4}x +4   (2)

Substitute the value of y in the first equation and solve for x

\frac{5}{4}x +4=\frac{3}{2}x\\\\-\frac{1}{4}x=-4\\\\x=16\ men

Now solve for y.

y = \frac{3}{2}(16)\\\\y=24\ women

Then at the end there were

y = 24-4 = 20 women

guajiro [1.7K]

(A) Mean best describes the amount of water in each bucket.

<h3>What is mean?</h3>
  • A dataset's mean (also known as the arithmetic mean, as opposed to the geometric mean) is the sum of all values divided by the total number of values.
  • It is the most widely used measure of central tendency and is frequently referred to as the "average."
  • In mathematics, particularly statistics, there are several types of means.
  • Each mean is used to summarize a specific set of data, often in order to better understand the overall value (magnitude and sign) of a given data set.
  • In two simple steps, we can calculate the mean or average of a data set: add up all of the values to find the sum.
  • Subtract the sum from the total number of values in the data set.

Therefore, (A) mean best describes the amount of water in each bucket.
