*see attachment below for the box plots that is being referred to

Answer:

*The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B

*The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take each stated option and examine the box plot to see which is TRUE or NOT.

OPTION 1: "The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B."

The median for shelter A = 21,

Median for shelter B = 18

Median weight for shelter A (21) is greater than that for shelter B.

This statement in this option is TRUE.

OPTION 2: "The median weight for shelter B is greater than that for shelter A."

Median for B (18) < median of A (21)

This statement in option is NOT TRUE.

OPTION 3: "The data for shelter A are a symmetric data set."

This is NOT TRUE because the length of both whiskers are unequal and also, the box is not divided equally. One side is longer than the other.

OPTION 4: "The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set."

This is TRUE because the length of both whiskers are relatively equal, and also, the rectangular box is divided equally.

OPTION 5: "The interquartile range for shelter A is 8"

This is NOT TRUE.

IQR = Q3-Q1

IQR for shelter A is approximately = 28-17 = 11

Match these similar triangles proof<br>

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. They are trying to reconstruct the smaller looking triangle in the bigger triangle using angle A as the common angle.

The first statement is always the given.

Second they constructed line segment XY into the bigger triangle so that XY is parallel to BC.

Third, from the construction of the parallel lines we can now find corresponding angles that are congruent. This would be the use of F.

Since we have all three angles in triangle AXY and triangle ABC, then the construction of the smaller triangle we made inside the bigger triangle is similar to the bigger triangle. So we have the triangles are similar. You could say E or D here in my opinion. This is choice D.

Fifth the creation of those fractions of sides being equal comes from us knowing the corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. This is choice H.

Things looked cut off for the sixth thing so I can't fully read it, but it is possible a substitution has occured.

The seventh thing is a congruence statement which can be proven by a congruence postulate. The only one listed is SAS. So that is G.

The last thing, since the triangle construction is congruent to the smaller triangle then we know the smaller triangle is also similar to the bigger triangle since the bigger one is also similar to the construction we made. I really think E and D is interchangeable. Choice E goes here.
