Answer: 102 children and 41 adults swam at the pool that day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of children that swam at the public pool that day.
Let y represent the number of adult that swam at the public pool that day.
On that certain hot summer's day, 143 people used the public swimming pool. It means that
x + y = 143
The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $219.75. It means that
1.25x + 2.25y = 219.75- - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 143 - y into equation 1, it becomes
1.25(143 - y) + 2.25y = 219.75
178.75 - 1.25y + 2.25y = 219.75
- 1.25y + 2.25y = 219.75 - 178.75
y = 41
x = 143 - y = 143 - 41
x = 102
Answer:
Median is used to describe the center of the data of heights of 50 basketball players.
Step-by-step explanation:
The median divides the data into two equal parts.
It can be used to describe the center of the data.
The mean gives the average where most data lies.
The advantages of median are
1)it is located even when the values are not capable of quantitative measurements.
2) It is not affected by extreme values > It can be computed even when a frequency distribution involves open end classes like those of income and prices.
3) In a highly skewed distribution median is appropriate average to use.
The disadvantages of the mean are
1) it is greatly affected by extreme values.
2) It sometimes gives fallacious conclusions.
3) In a highly skewed distribution mean is not an appropriate average to use.
4) It cannot be computed even when a frequency distribution involves open end classes like those of income and prices.
12 4/15 is the answer simplified
Answer:
A) Container X
Step-by-step explanation:
X=2C:6S ratio, now reduce amount but keep the same ratio
X=1C:3S
Y=4C:8S ratio, now reduce amount but keep the same ratio
Y=1C:2S
Container X has the sweeter water because it's ratio of sugar to water is higher.
