What is the meaning of the point with an x coordinate of 3?

snow_tiger [21]

The answer is D. Since the x line is seconds and y is feet traveled it would mean that the train travels 180 feet in 3 seconds

A student says that a coordinate grid under a dilation with the center at the origin and scale factor 2 does not change the grid

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Dilation changes (x,y) values not the grid or coordinate plane. Basically, dilating a graph or a coordinate grid means the original coordinates you may have had will be changed with the dilation. For example, a triangle plotted had its original area of 26 dilated to an area of 58.

Coach Evans recorded the height, in inches of each player on his team. The results are shown.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Team heights (inches):

61, 57, 63, 62, 60, 64, 60, 62, 63

To find: IQRs (interquartile ranges) of the heights for the team

Solution:

A quartile divides the number of terms in the data into four more or less equal parts that is quarters.

For a set of data, a number for which 25% of the data is less than that number is known as the first quartile $(Q_1)$

For a set of data, a number for which 75% of the data is less than that number is known as the third quartile $(Q_3)$

Terms in arranged in ascending order:

$57,60,60,61,62,62,63,63,64$

Number of terms = 9

As number of terms is odd, exclude the middle term that is 62.

$Q_1$ is median of terms $57,60,60,61$

Number of terms (n) = 4

Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} }{2} =\frac{2^{nd}+3^{rd}}{2} =\frac{60+60}{2}=\frac{120}{2}=60$

So, $Q_1=60$

So, 25% of the heights of a team is less than 60 inches

$Q_3$ is the median of terms $62,63,63,64$

Median = $\frac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} +(\frac{n}{2}+1)^{th} }{2} =\frac{2^{nd}+3^{rd}}{2} =\frac{63+63}{2}=\frac{126}{2}=63$

So, $Q_3=63$

So, 75% of the heights of a team is less than 63 inches

Interquartile range = $Q_3-Q_1=63-60=3$

The interquartile range is a measure of variability on dividing a data set into quartiles.

The interquartile range is the range of the middle 50% of the terms in the data.

So, 3 is the range of the middle 50% of the heights of the students.

Which of the following sets of numbers could represent the three sides of a triangle?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

To enable a set of three numbers to represent three sides of a triangle, sum of smaller two numbers must be greater than the largest number. Hence, only C can represent a triangle.

⚪ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle in Euclidean space is always 180 degrees

<em><u>The answer is none</u></em>
