Answer:

14 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount earned by gardener for each day worked = $60

Amount paid by gardener for each day when absent = $15

Total number of days = 20

Let the total number of days when the gardener was working = x

Then he was absent for (20 - x) days.

Total amount earned during this period = $750

Then, \[60x - 15(20-x) = 750\]


=> \[60x + 15x - 300 = 750\]

=> \[75x = 1050\]

=> x = 14

So the gardener worked for 14 days out of 20.

Both sets of values have an average of 13. Is Set A's standard deviation smaller, larger, or about the same as Set B's? (Note: T
Softa [21]

Answer:

  Set A's standard deviation is larger than Set B's

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is a measure of variation. One way to judge the value of standard deviation is by looking at the range of the data. In general, a dataset with a smaller range will have a smaller standard deviation.

The range of data Set A is 25-1 = 24.

The range of data Set B is 18-8 = 10.

Set A's range is larger, so we expect its standard deviation to be larger.

__

The standard deviation is the root of the mean of the squares of the differences from the mean. In Set A, the differences are ±12, ±11, ±10. In Set B, the differences are ±5, ±3, ±1. We don't actually need to compute the RMS difference to see that it is larger for Set A.

Set A's standard deviation is larger than Set B's.

Llana [10]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Isabella’s rain gauge showed 3 4/5 centimeters (cm) last Tuesday. This Tuesday,  the rain gauge showed 5 7/10  centimeters. How many more centimeters of rain  fell during the week?

A 9 1/2cm B 8 1/2cm c 2 4/5cm D 1 9/10 cm​

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Option D

1\frac{9}{10}  more centimeters of rain  fell during this week than last week

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

From given,

Last\ tuesday = 3\frac{4}{5}\ cm\\\\Convert\ to\ improper\ fraction\\\\Last\ tuesday = \frac{5 \times 3 + 4}{5} = \frac{19}{5}\ cm

Also given that,

This\ tuesday = 5\frac{7}{10}\ cm = \frac{10 \times 5 + 7}{10} = \frac{57}{10}\ cm

<em><u>How many more centimeters of rain  fell during the week?</u></em>

This\ tuesday - last\ tuesday = \frac{57}{10} - \frac{19}{5}\\\\This\ tuesday - last\ tuesday = \frac{57}{10} - \frac{19 \times 2}{5 \times 2}\\\\This\ tuesday - last\ tuesday = \frac{57-38}{10}\\\\This\ tuesday - last\ tuesday = \frac{19}{10}\\\\Converting\ to\ mixed\ fraction\\\\\rightarrow \frac{19}{10} = 1\frac{9}{10}

Thus 1\frac{9}{10}  more centimeters of rain  fell during this week than last week
