Matt and Kelly both purchased the same type mulch to be used in a garden. They both spent exactly $60 each on mulch. • Matt purc

hased loose mulch in which a truck dumped it in his driveway as shown in the picture. • Kelly purchased 16 bags of mulch and each bag contains 3 cubic feet of mulch. Which person got the got a better deal for the money spent? (i.e. Who got the most mulch?)
Question 13 options:

A.) Matt got the better deal.

B.)Kelly got the better deal.

C.)They both got the same amount.

D.)There is not enough information to determine who got the better deal.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A higher value of standard deviation tells us that there is high variability in the length of the snake from the mean length of the snake.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Sample of snakes in the Clarmont Zoo's reptile house are as follows:

9, 15, 86, 13, 16, 101, 85, 10, 14, 16, 102

Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{467}{11} = 42.4545

Sum of squares of differences = 1119.206611 + 753.7520659 + 1896.206612 + 867.5702477 + 699.842975 + 3427.570248 + 1810.115703 + 1053.29752 + 809.6611568 + 699.842975 + 3545.661158 = 16682.72727

S.D = \sqrt{\frac{16682.72727}{10}} = 40.8445

Standard deviation:

  • Standard deviation tells you how spread out the data is.
  • It is a measure of how far each observed value is from the mean.
  • A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.

A higher value of standard deviation tells us that there is high variability in the length of the snake from the mean length of the snake. The data is overspread over a wide range.

Anyone please help me
wolverine [178]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

these are 2 similar triangles (all 3 pairs of corresponding angles are equal in their pair, and the lengths of corresponding sides have the same ratio in every pair of corresponding sides and other lengths).

and they are also right-angled triangles.

so, what else do we know about them ?

PQ = 18

RT = 6

ST = QT + 9

therefore

QT = ST - 9

and

QR = QT + RT = ST - 9 + 6 = ST - 3

due to the principles of cumulative triangles

PQ/ST = QR/RT = 18/ST = (ST - 3)/6

108/ST = (ST - 3)

108 = (ST - 3)ST = ST² - 3ST

ST² - 3ST - 108 = 0

we can the write

x² - 3x - 108 = 0

and the solution for such a squared equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = -3

c = -108

x = (3 ± sqrt(9 - 4×1×-108))/2 = (3 ± sqrt(441))/2 =

= (3 ± 21)/2

x1 = (3+21)/2 = 24/2 = 12

x2 = (3-21)/2 = -18/2 = -9

a negative solution for real lengths is not valid, so we know

x = ST = 12

so,

QR = ST - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9

and then

QT = QR - RT = 9 - 6 = 3

LuckyWell [14K]
Answer: A. 13ft

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 5, b = 12

5^2 = 25, 12^2 = 144

25 + 144 = 169

Square root of 169 = 13

Jenna drove 90 miles in 1 1/2 hours. How long will it take her to drive 300 miles?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
I think I would set a proportion for this. 1 1/2 hours is 90 minutes. So 90 minutes and 90 miles.

90 300
—- = ——.
90 X

As you can see, miles on top and minutes on the bottom. Now, cross multiply. 90x = 300(90)
90x=27,000
Divide by 90 on both sides to get x alone.
90x/90= x 27,000/90=300

300 minutes would be 5 hours!
