The penguins currently living on an island are of two types, Chinstrap penguins and Gentoo penguins. The range of the heights of

the Chinstrap penguins on the island is 13.2 centimeters, and the range of the heights of the Gentoo penguins on the island is 15.4 centimeters.
Which of the following statements individually provide(s) sufficient additional information to determine the range of the heights of all the penguins on the island?

Indicate all such statements.

A The tallest Gentoo penguin on the island is 5.8 centimeters taller than the tallest Chinstrap penguin on the island.
B The median height of the Gentoo penguins on the island is 1.1 centimeters greater than the median height of the Chinstrap penguins on the island.
C The average (arithmetic mean) height of the Gentoo penguins on the island is 4.6 centimeters greater than the average height of the Chinstrap penguins on the island.

Answer:

The answer is "Option A"

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the range difference to calculate the maximum and minimum value.

The range of the chinstrap penguins are:  

R(c) = Max(c) - Min(c) = 13.2

The range of the Gentoo penguins are:

 R(g) = Max(g) - Min(g) = 15.4

For point A:

Max(c) = x\\\\Max(g) = x + 5.8\\\\R(c) = x - Min(c) = 13.2 \to  x = 13.2 + Min(c)\\\\R(g) = x + 5.8 - Min(g) = 15.4 \to  x = 9.6 + Min(g)

equate both of them

13.2 + Min(c) = 9.6 + Min(g)Min(g) - Min(c) = 3.6

It indicates that Min(c) surpasses Min(g), whereas Max(g) exceeds Max (c).

Therefore, the Max is picked for g for all penguins and the minimum is picked for c.    

Range of all penguins = Max(g) - Min(c) = x + 5.8 - x + 13.2 = 19

Therefore, it will be determined as the option.

For point B:

In estimating the range the median height cannot help.

For point C:

In order to calculate the variety, the connection between both the mean height cannot be sued.

josh bought followers for nancy. he spent a total of $14.85 and bought 13 flowers. if he knows lilies cost $1.25 and tulips cost
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x = lillies

y = tulips

x + y = 13

1.25x + .90y = 14.85

-1.25x - 1.25y = -16.25

1.25x + .90y = 14.85

-0.35y = -1.40

y = 4 tulips

x + 4 = 13

x = 9 lillies

(9 lillies, 4 tulips)

How do I solve for y?
vivado [14]
Short Answer: y = 36°
Remark
What an interesting question!! The first thing you have to do is find out what the interior angle of a regular pentagon is. After you have done that, you can calculate y.

Method.
The exterior angles of a regular figure add up to 360°. 

Step One

Find out the size of the exterior angles of a  regular pentagon. 
There are 5 such angles. They add up to 360°

5x = 360  Divide by 5
x = 360 / 5
x = 72°

Step Two
Find out the value of the interior angles of a pentagon.

Method
The interior and exterior angles add up to 180°
Exterior Angle + Interior Angle = 180°
Exterior angle = 72 degrees
72° + Interior Angle = 180°                  Subtract 72 from both sides.
Interior Angle = 180° - 72° 
Interior Angle = 108°

Step Three
Solve for y.

There are 3 tiles each with an angle of 108° that are placed together. So y + 3 interior angles = 360°

y + 3*interior angles = 360°
y + 3*108 = 360 
y + 324 = 360 Subtract 324 from both sides.
y = 360 - 324
y = 36°
