Distance=rate times time
distance=460
rate-wind=rate against wind
rate+wind=rate with wind
2.5=time aginst wind
2=time with wind
so
460=(rate-wind) times 2.5
and
460=(rate+wind) times 2

solve for rate
460=(rate-wind) times 2.5
divide both sides by 2.5
184=rate-wind

460=(rate+wind) times 2
divide by 2
230=rate+wind

we have
184=rate-wind
230=rate+wind
add them

184=rate-wind
<u>230=rate+wind +
</u>414=2rate+0wind
414=2rate
divide by 2
207=rate

answer is 207 miles per hour

Which statement is true about the box plots? Both the ranges and the interquartile ranges for the data sets are the same. Neithe
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Neither the ranges nor the interquartile ranges for the data sets are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a visual display, the boxplot presents five sample statistics: the minimum, the lower quartile, the median, the upper quartile and the maximum, and the box length gives an indication of the sample variability and the line across the box shows where the sample is centred, with an end at each quartile. The length of the box is thus the interquartile range of the sample and, whether the sample is symmetric or skewed, either to the right or left, the "shape" of the sample, and by implication, the shape of the population from which it was drawn, considering appropriate analyses of the data.
