Answer:

1 cm : 82km

Step-by-step explanation:

Now

1km = 1000 X 100 cm

Therefore

2050km = 2050 X 1000 X 100cm

2050km = 205,000,000 cm

25cm rep 205,000,000 cm

1cm rep 205,000,000/25 cm

1cm rep 8,200,000cm

8,200,000= 8,200,000÷(100,000)km

=82km

Therefore: 1cm represents 82km

An alternate approach is to divide directly

25cm rep 2050 km

1cm represents 2050/25km

1cm: 82km

The scale is 1 cm : 82km

If data set A has a smaller standard deviation than data set B, what would be different about their distributions?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Data set B would have flatter distribution with more data in each tail.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Data set A has a smaller standard deviation than data set B.

\sigma_A < \sigma_B

Standard Deviation:

  • It is a measure of dispersion of data.
  • It tells us about how much the data deviates around the mean.
  • It tells us about the overall deviation of the data from the mean.
  • The standard deviation is small when the data are all close to the mean showing less variation.
  • The standard deviation is larger when the data values are farther away from the mean, showing more variation.

Since data A has less standard deviation than data B, then data B has a flatter graphical representation as more of the data are present on the tails.

That is to say it is vertical and it’s slope is undefined.

Line l must be horizontal so it has a slope of 0
