Answer:

c. Mode

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average obtained by adding all values and then dividing by the size of the values. Here, adding A and B etc is not clear.

Median is the middle value of a set of numeric values. To find a median, values should be sort-able from smallest to the largest. If there is no unique middle value, then the average of the middle values has to be taken. Here, average of the two different grades is not clear.

Mode is the value that occurs most often. Clearly C occurs most often.

Mid-range value is the mean of the difference between largest value and the smallest value. Here, difference between A and F is not clear.

Mean,median,Mid-range are applied to numeric values where mode is also suitable for categorical values.

Therefore, the most appropriate measure of central tendency for the data described is mode

Find the measure of ∠ 7.<br><br> Given:<br> ∠1 is a right angle<br> ∠3 = 37°<br> ∠8 = 62°
Bess [88]

Answer:

<h2>-28°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that ∠1 is a right angle that is ∠1 = 90°.

∠8 - ∠1 = ∠ 7 = 62° - 90° = - 28°.

Find the equation of a line that passes through (1,12) and is parallel to the graph of y=3x+3 Write the equation in​ slope-inter
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The equation of the parallel line is

y = 3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a straight line is given as;

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the intercept

If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal

So the slope of the new line too is 3

Using the point-slope formula

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-12 = 3(x-1)

y-12 = 3x-3

y = 3x-3 + 12

y = 3x + 9

Q2) What are the rules for probability distributions ? I​
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Probability Distributions

A listing of all the values the random variable can assume with their corresponding probabilities make a probability distribution.

A note about random variables. A random variable does not mean that the values can be anything (a random number). Random variables have a well defined set of outcomes and well defined probabilities for the occurrence of each outcome. The random refers to the fact that the outcomes happen by chance -- that is, you don't know which outcome will occur next.

What is probability of P(5)?m
olganol [36]
P(A) means "Probability of Event A" The complement is shown by a little mark after the letter such as A' (or sometimes Ac or A): P(A') means "Probability of the complement of Event A" The two probabilities always add to 1.

Find the area of each figure. Use 3.14
grigory [225]
<h3>Answer:  23.13 square meters</h3>

===============================================================

Explanation:

The top and bottom semicircles can be joined to form a full circle. The same can be said about the left and right semicircles. Each circle has diameter 3 and radius 1.5

The area of one circle is

A = pi*r^2

A = 3.14*(1.5)^2

A = 7.065

So two circles doubles to 2*7.065 = 14.13 square meters in area.

Then the last step is to add on the area of the 3 by 3 square (area 3*3 = 9) to get 14.13+9 = 23.13

This area is approximate because pi = 3.14 is approximate. Use more decimal digits in pi to get a more accurate area. However, your teacher wants you to use this specific value so it's best to stick with 23.13
