Answer:

If you construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, every point on the perpendicular bisector will be the same distance from both point A and point B.

To construct an isosceles triangle, you can start from any point on the perpendicular bisector and draw line segments to point A and to point B

Which distribution has the greatest spread?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Here, the standard deviation is the best measure of the spread of a data set. The higher the standard deviation, the more spread out the distribution is. In this case, the distribution with the highest standard deviation (and therefore the greatest spread) is Distribution 3. Its low mean might be deceptive, but the value of a data set's mean has no effect on its spread.

The ratio of laptop to desktop computers at a middle school. Is 8 to 6. If there are 462 desktop computers, how many computers i

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

1078

Explanation:

For this you can use a proportion to solve. So first we set up the proportion as laptop over desktop is equal to "l" over total desktop computers. Let l be the total amount of laptops which is what we must first solve for.

$\frac{8}{6}=\frac{l}{462} \\$

Then we cross multiply.

$6l=3696\\$

Now we can solve it as a regular algebra problem,

$\frac{6}{6}l = \frac{3696}{6}\\ l=616$

Now that we know how many laptop computers there are we can find the total number of computers in the school. We simply add the total number of desktop computers to the total number of laptop computers.

$462+616=1078$
