Decide whether the following statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain yo

ur reasoning. There's been only a very slight rise in our stock price over the past few months, but I wanted to make it look dramatic so I started the vertical scale from the lowest price rather than from zero. Choose the correct answer below.
A. The statement makes sense because reducing the range of the vertical axis to just fit the data will increase the relative size of the variation in the data.
B. The statement does not make sense because reducing the range of the vertical axis to just fit the data will decrease the relative size of the variation in the data.
C. The statement does not make sense because changing the axis cannot change the data that is being displayed.
D. The statement makes sense because increasing the range of the vertical axis to contain all of the data will increase the relative size of the variation in the data.

Answer:

A. is the correct one. The statement makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. This is true because if you make your graph starting from the lowest value then the graph will use more space to fit the data and it will make it look bigger. Also, the variation will seem higher because it will feel that you are increasing it from 0, so the relative increase will be higher.

B. Reducing the range of the vertical axis will increase the relative size of variation, not make it decrease, as we explained in A.

C. Even though it is technically certain that the data shown is the same as before, the way to show data also matters. And by making changes on the presentation of your data you can obtain different results on the impression that leaves to people.

D. This is just false, because you are indeed dereasing the range of the vertical axis, not increasing it.

lara [203]

Answer:  School Y has 4 points and School X has 12 points.

Explanation:

Let the number of points School Y has be x

Let the number of points School X has be 3x

According to question, we get

3x-x=8\\\\2x=8\\\\x=\frac{8}{2}\\\\x=4

So, the number of point School Y has 4.

and number of points School X has

3x=3\times 4=12

Hence, School Y has 4 points and School X has 12 points.

Nora worked in her yard for 2 hours.She mowed for 45 minutes, raked for 33 minutes, and weeded the garden for the rest of the ti
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nora worked in her yard for 2 hours. She mowed for 45 minutes. We would convert the 45 minutes to hours.

60 minutes = 1 hour

45 minutes = 45/60 = 3/4 hours

She raked for 33 minutes. Converting 33 minutes to hours,

33 minutes = 33/60 = 11/20

She weeded the garden for the rest of the time.

Time spent on weeding the garden = total time spent in the garden - sum of the time spent on mowing and raking.

Time spent on weeding = 2 - (3/4+11/20) = 2 - 26/20

= 14/20 = 0.7 hours

The percentage of Nora's time working in her yard that was spent weeding the garden will become

0.7/2 × 100

= 35%
