Jamie needs to determine the distance across a river. She selects a rock, R, on the opposite river bank. She finds a tree, T, on

her side of the river such that is perpendicular to the river. Next, Jamie walks 50 yards down the river from the tree, T, to a spot, C. Using a compass that she made from two sticks, she measures . She then walks from C in a direction that makes the same angle as with the river bank on her side of the river. She keeps walking in that direction until she sees the tree and the rock in a straight line from her position. She marks this point B and then paces from B to T to measure the distance from point B to the tree. If BT turns out to be 75 yards, what is RT, the distance across the river?

RT = BT = 75

This is because she used the same angle from point C to mark point B, thus creating a symmetric right triangle.

Histogram or Bar Chart? Select which graphical display is most appropriate to describe the distribution for each of the variable
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

a) Bar chart

b) Histogram

c) Bar chart

d) Histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Trash pick-up DAY for each HOUSEHOLD in Ames - This is categorical data because, we are talking about days of the week. For instance, Household 1 might have Sunday as Trash pick-up day and that could be accumulated into frequency. Hence, BAR chart is the most appropriate.

b) Patient WAIT-TIME at ISU. This is continuous (quantitative) data. And the most appropriate is HISTOGRAM.

c) Number of trips taken during a GIVEN SCHOOL YEAR by EACH ISU STUDENT. Let say we have 5 ISU STUDENTS. Student 1 had 5 trips, student 2 had 10 trips, etc.

We want to see which student has the most and least trip in that particular school year. Although is count data but the most appropriate graphical display is BAR chart.

d) TAX BRACKET of ALL Iowa RESIDENTS. This is a continuous (quantitative) data. The most appropriate graphical display is HISTOGRAM.
