Answer:

a) Mean is equal to the median, 72 inches

b) The Mean better represents this distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Finding the mean of the data

(66 + 68 + 70 +72 +74 + 76 + 78 )/ 7

=504/7 =72

The median is the center value

66,68 ,70 ,72 ,74 , 76 , 78

median is 72

Mean is equal to the median

Mean better represents this distribution because this data is normally distributed.If plotted, a normal distribution curve is obtained with most of the values seen to cluster around the mean value.

To cover a rectangle region of her yard, Penny needs at least 170.5 square feet of sod. The length of the region is 15.5 feet. W

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width)+2(length). We can multiply the length by 2 to find out how much remaining fencing we have, then divide that number by 2 to find the width.

15.5*2=31
170.5-31=139.5
139.5/2=69.75

A possible width is 69.75 feet.
