Answer:

The comparison using median and IQR is best because one of the graphs is not symmetrical.<em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is missing

<em>A box plot titled Number of Minutes Women Spend on Breaks. The number line goes from 30 to 70. The whiskers range from 30 to 54, and the box ranges from 34 to 50. A line divides the box at 48.  </em>

<em>A box plot titled Number of Minutes Men Spend on Breaks. The number line goes from 30 to 70. The whiskers range from 30 to 68, and the box ranges from 36 to 60. A line divides the box at 48.  </em>

<em>The business owner uses the median and IQR to determine the center and variability of the data sets. Which best describes the comparison? </em>

<em>The comparison would be more accurate using the mean and MAD because one of the graphs is symmetric. </em>

<em>The comparison would be more accurate using the mean and MAD because the median of both data sets is the same. </em>

<em>The comparison using median and IQR is best because one of the graphs is not symmetrical. </em>

<em>The comparison using median and IQR is best because the median is greater than the IQR for both data sets.</em>

<em />

Mean and MAD are useful for comparison when both data sets are symmetrical.

In the women box plot the Q1 is at 34, the median is at 48, and the Q3 is at 50, so it is not symmetrical (the difference between the median and the Q1, and the Q3 and the median is not the same)

I'm not really good at clearing fractions I need help with this problem please!

1/4x + 3 = 2x - 5/8

Find least common multiplier of 4x,8 is  8x

Multiply by LCM = 8x

1/4 x * 8 x + 3 * 8 x = 2 x * 8 x - 5/8 * 8 x

Refine:

2 + 24 = 16 x² - 5 x

Subtract 16 x² - 5 x from both sides:

2 + 24 x - ( 16 x² -5 x) = 16 x² - 5 x - (16 x²-5 x)

Refine: - 16 x² - 29 x + 2 = 0

Solving with the quadratic formula :

for a = - 16 , b = 29 and c = 2

x1 = - 29 √ 29² - 4(-16)*2
        -----------------------------
              2 (-16)

x1 = - √ 969  - 29
      ---------------------
                32


x2 = - 29 - √ 29² -4(-16)*2
        -----------------------------
               2(-16)

x2 = √ 969  + 29
      ---------------------
                32

The final solutions to the quadratic equation are:


x1 = - √ 969 - 29
      -------------------
              32

x2 = √ 969 + 29
      -------------------
             32


hope this helps!

Why numbers are written as powers?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Large numbers like 100 billion are cumbersome to write out in ordinary form (100,000,000,000) and so scientists use a shorthand notation called powers of ten. ... The exponent tells you how many times ten is to be multiplied by iteslf to equal the number you wish to write. For example, 100 can be written as 10x10 = 102.

Hope this helps!
