In order to answer this question we have to find all the 4 measure, Mean, Median, Mode and Range of both data sets.

1) For the Rocks of Isabella:

Mean = (Sum of all numbers)/Total numbers
So, Mean weight of Isabella's Rocks = 7.64

Median is the central value.
So, Median weight of Isabella's Rocks = 6

Mode is the most frequently occurring value.
So, Mode weight of Isabella's Rocks = 8.75

Range = Maximum - Minimum
So, Range weight of Isabella's rocks = 13.75

2) For Mateo's Rocks:

Mean = 8
Median = 6
Mode = 8
Range = 14.75

From the above data, we can see that the Range of Mateo's Rocks is more as compared to the Isabella's Rocks.

Thus, Range can be used be used to support the claim that Mateo’s rocks generally weigh more than Isabella’s rocks.

So option D is the correct option

DeShawn and Pranav each improved their yards by planting daylilies and shrubs. They bough

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Daylilies cost $11 and shrubs cost $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the cost of daylilies as x and the cost of shrubs as y. We can write:

9x + 4y = 143 -- Equation 1

14x + 4y = 198 -- Equation 2

5x = 55 -- Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2

x = 11 -- Divide by 5

9 * 11 + 4y = 143 -- Substitute x = 11 into Equation 1

4y = 44 -- Subtract 99

y = 11 -- Divide by 4

If there is 1000$ in the lockbox what year will it be worth 64,000$ at 24% interest?

Leni [432]

Hey there!

First, set up an exponential equation that represents the rate at which your original amount, 1000, gains interest:

y = 1000(1.24)^x

Y represents the value after X years. 1.24 represents the rate at which the money gains interest, 1 + 0.24 (your 24% interest rate in decimal form). 1000 is your original amount.

Now, set this equation equal to 64000, graph y = 64000 and y = 1000(1.24)^x on a graphing calculator, and see where the two equations intersect in order to solve for x.

They intersect when x is about 19.334, as seen in the graph below (it is very zoomed in so that you can see where the two functions intersect). Therefore, it will be about 19 years after the year in which you deposited the 1000 dollars before the money is worth 64000 dollars.
