Answer:

Width of intervals: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We first look at how data is represented in a stem-leaf diagram.

Any number of the left (before -) is the stem and all numbers on right (after -) are the leaves. Each combination of stem and leaf represents one number. For example: 1 - 332 represents: 13, 13, 12.

Our data is as follows:

13, 13, 12, 24, 25, 31, 31, 35, 37, 42, 43, 41, 52, 51, 51, 52

To calculate the width of the frequency distribution chart, we have the following formula:

Class\ width = \frac{Range}{Number\ of\ classes}

The range of any data set = Maximum value in the data set - Minimum value in the data set

Maximum value in this case as seen from the data is 52 and minimum is 12.

Range = 52 - 12 = 40

Since we had only 5 stems in the data, we shall use that as the number of classes required in the frequency distribution chart.

Class\ width = \frac{40}{5}  = 8

Hence, the class width in this data set will be 8.

To make the intervals, we begin from the minimum value and add 8 to it. The intervals will be:

12 - 20

20 - 28

28 - 36

36 - 44

44 - 52

Observe, that all the values of the stem lie within each interval.

For example, there are 3 values for stem 1: 12, 13, 13 and each lie in the first interval 12 - 20.

Next, the values of stem 2 are 24 and 25. Each of these value lie in the second interval 20 - 28; and henceforth.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

4. slices

Step-by-step explanation:

because If you turn 3/5 in to a decimal you get 0.6 and each slice of cheese weighs 0.15 so you do 0.6 divided by 0.15

Which of the following equations models the relationship of angle A to the length of the line segment BC in the figure below.
Anastasy [175]
Let the line segment BD be x, then sin A = x/15
or, x = 15sinA
Also y^{2} =  x^{2} + (25)^{2}  \\ =  (15sinA)^{2} + 625 \\ =225 sin^{2} A+625 \\ y= \sqrt{225 sin^{2} A+625} 

The last option

Find the length of the missing side
inn [45]
<h3>Answer:  9</h3>

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

Work Shown:

a = unknown  = leg #1

b = 12  = leg #2

c = 15 = hypotenuse

Plug those values into the pythagorean theorem and solve for 'a'

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + (12)^2 = (15)^2  .... substitution

a^2 + 144 = 225

a^2 = 225 - 144  ... subtracting 144 from both sides

a^2 = 81

a = sqrt(81)  .... applying square root to both sides

a = 9
