Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
plot an open circle on the 4 and a closed circle on the 10. Then draw a line that goes from 4 to 10.
12 years. That is the most representative because it's the median.
From my calculations I got :
- 24 pints of blue paint
- 16 pints of red paint
The function you seek to minimize is
()=3‾√4(3)2+(13−4)2

Then
′()=3‾√18−13−8=(3‾√18+18)−138

Note that ″()>0

so that the critical point at ′()=0
f
