Answer:

Mean and IQR

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of centre gives the central or the measure which gives the best mid term of a distribution. Based in the details of the box plot, the median is the value which divides the box in the box plot.

For company A:

Range = 25 to 80 with a median value at 30 ; this means the median does not give a good centre measure of the distribution ad it is very close to the minimum value. This goes for the Company B plot too; with values ranging from (35 to 90) and the median designated at 40.

Hence, the mean will be the best measure of centre rather Than the median in this case.

For the variability, the interquartile range would best suit the distribution. With the lower quartile and upper quartile both having reasonable width to the minimum and maximum value of the distribution.

Round each whole number to the given place value.

Kazeer [188]

We have to round each whole number to the given place value.

We have to round the number 437 to the tens place.

Since the digit at the tens place is 3.

Since the digit at its previous place that is ones place is '7' which is greater than 5.

Therefore, we can round the number 437 to 440.

Now, consider the another number 64,328, we have to round this number to the nearest ten thousand place.

Since the digit at ten thousands place is 6.

And the digit at its previous place that is, at thousands place is 4.

Since this number is less than 5.

Therefore, the given number will round to 60,000.

An electric utility company determines the monthly bill for a residential customer by adding an energy charge of 6.34 cents per

kirill [66]

Answer:

y = 18.38 + 0.0634x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Monthly base charge = $18.38,

Also, the cost of each kilowatt-hours = 6.34 cents = $ 0.0634

( 1 cents = 0.01 dollars ),

So, the cost of x kilowatt-hours = 0.0634x,

If y represents the total monthly charge ( in dollars ) for x kilowatt-hours,

Thus, the total monthly charge for x kilowatt-hours = base charge + cost of x kilowatt-hours,

⇒ y = 18.38 + 0.0634x

Which is the required equation.
