Answer: 4 inches by 6 inches or 8 inches by 3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is A = W*L

where L is the width and L is the lenght.

Now, the original rectangle has a measure of 8 in by 6 in.

if 8in is the lenght and 6 in is the width.

We want to divide only one of those measures in equal parts, such that when we take the product of the end results is equal to 24 in.

If we divide the lenght by half (so both parts will have the same width as this did not change), we now have that the lenght is 8in/2 = 4in and the width is 6in.

Now the area is 4in*6in = 24in, which is the area that we where looking for.

We also could cut the width in half, and get the dimensions 8 inches by 3 inches.

Kaden works 5 days. The median number of hours he works is 3. The mean number of hours he works is 4.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(a) 1, 2, 3, 6, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Median = 3

Mean = 4

Required

The sequence of hours worked each day

<em>See attachment for options</em>

From the question, we understand that:

Median = 3

This means that, the middle number is 3 (when sorted)

So, we can conclude that (b) and (c) cannot be true because their middle numbers are 6 and 5 respectively

Next, is to determine the mean of (a) and (d)

The mean of a data is calculated as:

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}

So, we have:

(a)

\bar x = \frac{1+ 2+ 3+ 6+ 8}{5}

\bar x = \frac{20}{5}

\bar x = 4

(d)

\bar x = \frac{1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ 5}{5}

\bar x = \frac{15}{5}

\bar x = 3

Option (a) is true, because it has:

Median = 3

Mean = 4

Calculate a four-day moving average for the price of the stock for the end of day 7. day 1 - 62.00; day 2 - 56.00; day 3 - 50.00
Aneli [31]

At day 7, the four-day moving average for the price of the stock would be $58.25.

<h3>What is the four-day moving average at day 7?</h3>

This can be found as:

= (Day 7 price + Day 6 + Day 5 + Day 4) / Number of days

Solving gives:

= (59 + 55 + 59 + 60) / 4

= 233 / 4

= $58.25
