20 ft because the shadow would be 3/2 of the height. 9 is 3/2 of 6 so the height would be 20 bc 30 is 3/2 of 20

Two companies working together can clear a parcel of land in 27 hours. Working alone, it would take Company a 2 hours longer to
algol13

Answer:

53 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If A is the time it takes Company A, and B is the time it takes Company B, then:

1/27 = 1/A + 1/B

A = B + 2

Substitute and solve:

1/27 = 1/(B + 2) + 1/B

1/27 = (B + B + 2) / (B (B + 2))

1/27 = (2B + 2) / (B² + 2B)

27 (2B + 2) = B² + 2B

54B + 54 = B² + 2B

0 = B² − 52B − 54

B = [ -(-52) ± √((-52)² − 4(1)(-54)) ] / 2(1)

B = (52 ± √2920) / 2

B ≈ 53.0

It would take Company B approximately 53 hours.

Required information Section 01.02 Exercise 14 - Effects of changing data values on mean, median, and standard deviation There a
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

  • Mean will Increase .
  • Median remains unchanged.
  • Standard deviation will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are 14 employees in a particular division of a company and their salaries have a mean of $70,000, a median of $55,000, and a standard deviation of $20,000.

And also the largest number on the list is $100,000 but By accident, this number is changed to $1,000,000.

Now we have to analyse the Effect of this change in data values on mean, median, and standard deviation.

  • Mean will get affected because $1,000,000 is a very huge value as compared to $100,000 and is considered to be an outlier and we know that mean is affected by outliers as mean will change to $134285.7143 after replacing $100,000 with $1,000,000 .
  • Median will not get affected as median the middle most value in the data set and since $1,000,000 is considered to be an outlier so median remain unchanged at $55,000 .
  • Standard Deviation will also get affected as due to outlier value in the data set the numerator value will increase very much and due to which standard deviation will also increase.
