X = number of correct answers

Y = number of incorrect answers

School A has 174 points and school B has 102 points.

A = 174

B = 102

School A has the same number of correct and incorrect answers during the final round.

A = 174 + 10X - 6Y

School B gives no incorrect answers and the same number of correct answers as school A.

B = 102 + 10X

The contest ends with the two schools tied.

Score = 174 + 10X - 6Y = 102 + 10X

174 + 10X - 6Y = 102 + 10X

Sam kept track of the number of problems he was assigned for his math homework on the box plot.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Statement A is correct about Sam's box and whisker plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a box plot and we are asked to find out true statement according to the box plot.

Since we know data represented by box plot is divided in four equal parts.

Upon looking at our box plot we can see that our data is symmetric. It's median is 15, which means half the math assignments have less than 15 problems and half of the math assignments have more than 15 problems.

Interquartile range represents 50% values of data and it is the difference between upper quartile and lower quartile. IQR is not affected by outliers.

IQR=Q_3-Q_1

Upon substituting given values from box plot we get,

IQR=19-11=8

From IQR we can conclude that half of the assignments contained 15 problems or fewer.Therefore, option A is the correct choice.

A flying squirrel jumped from a tree 11 feet in the air at an initial velocity of 9 feet per sencond. The equation h=-2t^2+9t-11
vovikov84 [41]
This must be on the moon as the acceleration due to gravity in this equation must be around 1/8 that on earth. :)  Anyway...

h=-2t^2+9t+11

A)

dh/dt=-4t+9, when velocity, dh/dt=0, it is the maximum height reached

dh/dt=0 only when 4t=9, t=2.25 seconds

h(2.25)=21.125 ft  (21 1/8 ft)

B)

As seen in A), the time of maximum height was 2.25 seconds after the squirrel jumped.

C)

The squirrel reaches the ground when h=0...

0=-2t^2+9t+11

-2t^2-2t+11t+11=0

-2t(t+1)+11(t+1)=0

(-2t+11)(t+1)=0, since t>0 for this problem...

-2t+11=0

-2t=-11

t=5.5 seconds.
