Answer:

The correct option is;

Both spreads are best described by the standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

, College High School

High, 20 20

Low, 6 3

Q₁, 8 5.5

Q₃, 18 16

IQR, 10 10.5

Median, 14 11

Mean, 13.3 11

σ, 5.2 5.4

Checking for outliers, we have

College

Q₁ - 1.5×IQR gives 8 - 1.5×10 = -7

Q₃ + 1.5×IQR gives 18 + 1.5×10 = 33

For high school

Q₁ - 1.5×IQR gives 5.5 - 1.5×10.5 = -10.25

Q₃ + 1.5×IQR gives 16 + 1.5×10.5 = 31.75

Therefore, there are no outliers and the data is representative of the population

From the data, for the college students, it is observed that the difference between the mean, 13.3 and Q₁, 8, and between Q₃, 18 and the mean,13.3 is approximately the standard deviation, σ, 5.2

The difference between the low and the high is also approximately 3 standard deviations

Therefore the college spread is best described by the standard deviation

Similarly for the high school students, the IQR is approximately two standard deviations, the difference between the mean, 11 and Q₁, 5.5, and between Q₃, 16 and the mean,11 is approximately the standard deviation, σ, 5.4

Therefore the high school spread is also best described by the standard deviation.

Jenna is drawing a sketch of her room. The room is 15 feet long by 12 feet wide. The

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual dimensions:

Length = 15 feet

Width = 12 feet

Scale dimensions:

Length = 5 inches

Width = x inches

Write a proportion:

$\dfrac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Scale length}}=\dfrac{\text{Actual width}}{\text{Scale width}}\\ \\ \\\dfrac{15\ feet}{5\ inches}=\dfrac{12\ feet}{x\ inches}\\ \\x=\dfrac{5\ inches\times 12\ feet}{15\ feet}=4\ inches$

Emir is standing in a treehouse and looking down at a swingset in the yard next door. The angle of depression from Emir's eyelin

boyakko [2]

<h3>Answer: 24 feet (Choice D)</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. The goal is to find x, which is the horizontal distance from the base of the tree to the swing set.

Focus on triangle BCD.

The angle B is roughly 30.26 degrees, and this is the angle of depression. This is the amount of degrees Emir must look down (when starting at the horizontal) to spot the swing set.

We know that he's 14 ft off the ground, which explains why AB = CD = 14.

The goal is to find BC = AD = x.

---------------------------

Again, keep your focus on triangle BCD.

We'll use the tangent ratio to say

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = CD/BC

tan(30.26) = 14/x

x*tan(30.26) = 14

x = 14/tan(30.26)

x = 23.9965714046732

That value is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

That value rounds to 24 feet when rounding to the nearest whole foot.
