Answer:

Option b is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a data set about minutes spent on doing homework the previous night by 14 seniors.

To find the median of data set, first of all we will arrange our data values from least to greatest order.  

62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73, 74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101.

Since our data set has an even number (14) of data points, therefore, median will be the average of middle two points, that is 7th and 8th term.

\text{Median}=\frac{\text{7th term + 8th term}}{2}

\text{Median}=\frac{73+74}{2}

\text{Median}=\frac{147}{2}

\text{Median}=73.5

Therefore, median of our given data set is 73.5.

Since median of a data set separates the higher half from the lower half of a data sample. So about half of the students spent less than 73.5 minutes doing homework and about half spent more than 73.5 minutes on homework.

Therefore, option b is the correct choice.

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the median of:-

73 75 87 65 69 62 81 64 68 101 74 71 89 87

First, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order as below:-

62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73, 74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101

Since there are a total of 14 numbers, let's split it up into two halves (each of seven numbers)

62, 64, 65, 68, 69, 71, 73           |||             74, 75, 81, 87, 87, 89, 101

The median would be the mean of the two middle numbers i.e. the mean of 73 and 74

Median = \frac{73+74}{2}

= \frac{147}{2}

= 73.5

So, about half of the students spent less than 73.5 minutes doing homework and about half spent more than 73.5 minutes on homework

Describe in words the region of R3 reperesented by the equations or inequalities y2+z2=16
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

It represents an infinite cylinder of radius 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to notice is that

y^2+z^2=4^2

<u>represents a circle of radius 4</u>, with its center in the origin of a plane yz, of cartesians coordinates.

Starting from here, we have to put the coordinate x, for all values of x, to complete the space R³. <em>This will enlarge this circle we had on the plane, to infinity</em> (positive and negative on the x-axis).

Finally, we have that this region is a cylinder of radius 4, with center in y=0 and z=0, and of infinite length in the x coordinates.

Sandy's car can travel 42 miles on 1 1/6 gallons of gas. At that rate, how many miles per gallon does her car get?
V125BC [204]
We simply have to divide the total miles that the car can travel by the total amount of gallons of gas.
So,
42 miles/ (11/6 gallons) = 22.91 miles per gallon

Therefore, Sandy's car gets 22.91 miles per gallon of gas

The length of the side sqaure A is 50% OF THE LENGTH OF THE SIDE SQUARE b
UNO [17]

Let's say the side length of square A is x, which means the side length of square B is 2x.

Then, the area of square A can be written as , and the area of square B can be written as .

There's no diagram here with shaded region, so I'll just find the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B:

= 1/4 = 25%

So, the answer is 25% (note this is the answer to the question: "express the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B; there is no diagram showing me where the shaded area is, so I cannot answer the original question
