Answer:

C. Mean

A. The distribution is probably symmetric with a single peak.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean measurement would give best description of the average number of car accidents people had in their lifetime. There are very less chances of skewed distribution because of the nature of the problem.

The data set in this case is not likely to have extreme variations thats why outliers wont be a problem. Therefore, mean measurement would be a better choice than median.

Example:

The typical data for this problem would look something like this.

2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 2, 1, 3

Mean= Sum of all elements/no. of elements

mean= (2+4+4+3+5+2+1+3)/8=24/8=4

A man can paint one house in 12 hours. At this rate, how many houses could 18 men paint in 6 hours? A) 3 houses B) 6 houses C) 9
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The correct option is C. 9 houses could 18 men paint in 6 hours.

Step by step explanation:

Let the number of houses paint by 18 men in 6 hours be x.

One man can paint one house in 12 hours.

The part of house painted by a man in 1 hour is \frac{1}{12}.

The part of house painted by a man in 6 hour is

\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}

The total number of men is 18. Therefore the number of houses painted by 18 men is

x=\frac{1}{2}\times 18=9

Therefore correct option is C. 9 houses could 18 men paint in 6 hours.
