helpp meeeeeeeeee (08.06 MC)Consider the following dot plot. Of the following statements, which two characteristics of this dot
plot make the median a better choice than the mean to summarize the center of the distribution? A dot plot with an axis marked from 0 to 10 at increments of 1 is shown. Plot shows 8 dots at 10, 7 dots at 9, 6 dots at 8, 3 dots at 7, 2 dots at 0 and 6, and 1 dot at 5. The mean is equal to the median and the data are symmetric. The peak is equal to the median and the data are skewed. The data are symmetric and there are outliers. The data are skewed and there are outliers.

Answer:
Speed of Current = 5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We know distance formula,
D = RT
Where
D is distance
R is rate
T is time
If we let speed of boat (assume) to be "x" and speed of current to be "c"
Then downstream rate is (with current) = x + c
Upstream rate is (against current) = x - c
40 mins to go 20 miles downstream, that means:
D = RT
20 = (x + c)(40)
and
60 minutes to go upstream, 20 miles, that means:
D = RT
20 = (x - c)(60)
Simplifying first equation:
40x + 40c = 20
Simplifying second equation:
60x - 60c = 20
Multiplying first equation by 60, we get:
60 * [40x + 40c = 20] = 2400x + 2400c = 1200
Multiplying second equation by 40, we get:
40 * [60x - 60c = 20] = 2400x - 2400c = 800
Now we add up both these equations:
2400x + 2400c = 1200
2400x - 2400c = 800
----------------------------------
4800x = 2000
x = 2000/4800 = 5/12
We need speed of current, that is "c", so we plug in the value of x into first equation and solve for c:
Speed of Current = 1/12 miles per minute
Since there is 60 minutes in an hours, that would be:
(1/12) * 60 = 5 miles per hour
Speed of Current = 5 miles per hour
