-17 lol because it's a negative the "larger" the number is, the less it is on the scale between negatives and positives.

The ratio of red poms to yellow poms on a float is 5 to 7. if there are 392 yellow poms on the float, how many red poms are ther
Marysya12 [62]
Ratio is written in x:y. therefore for this case, red:yellow
5 : 7

since the question states that there are 392 yellow poms, the 7 units represents 392 yellow poms. now you have to gind what is one unit and then multiply by 5 to find the number of red poms.

392 represents 7 units
1 unit: 392/7=56
5 units: 5×56=280 red poms

therefore the answer is 280 red poms which is C.

Suppose that taxis in New York are driven an average of 60,000 miles per year with a standard deviation of 11,000 miles. Assume
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>Let n be the number of taxis in NY. The average distance travelled is 60,000 miles, therefore the middle 95% will have the same average as the population, the reason being the mileage is symmetrically distributed about the mean Therefore the total number of miles in one year for the middle 95% is 60,000 * 0.95 * n
</span><span>The range of miles driven by the middle 95% can be found from the empirical rule that says: For a normal distribution, approximately 95% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus 2 standard deviations of the population mean. In this case the range is (60,000-22,000) to (60,000 + 22,000)</span>
