Answer: b. Median

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common measures of central tendency are :

c. Mean - It is the best measure of central tendency when data does not have outliers because it affect mean badly.

the eagle trucking company must deliver 7/8 ton of cement blocks and 5/8 ton of bricks how much will this load weigh?
Mademuasel [1]
This load will weigh 1.5 TONS ALTOGETHER.

So, the truck is delivering a \frac{7}{8} ton of cement blocks, and a \frac{5}{8} of bricks. To find how much this load weighs, we'd have to add the two fractions together, which proves to be quite easy, because the denominators are already the same, so we wouldn't have to change anything.

\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{12}{8}

And now, we would want to convert that fraction into a whole number, or at least a decimal, to find how many tons the truck is carrying. So we would divide. Once the work is done, here is what would happen:

12 ÷ 8 = 1.5

And there's your answer. The truck is carrying 1.5 TONS.

A circle has a sector with area 33 pi and central angle of 11/6 pi radians. What is the area of the circle?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The area of the circle is 36\pi\ units^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a circle subtends a central angle of 2\pi radians

so

By proportion find the area of the circle

\frac{33\pi }{(11\pi /6)}=\frac{x}{2\pi}\\ \\ x=2\pi*( 33*6)/11\\ \\x=36\pi\ units^{2}
