Answer: $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of watermelon = $1.25

Profit percent = 20%

Profit = Profit percent × Cost price

= 20% × $1.25

= 20/100 × $1.25

= 0.2 × $1.25

= $0.25

Selling price = Cost price + Profit

Selling price = $1.25 + $0.25

Selling price = $1.50

They should charge $1.50 for the watermelons

Find the mean and standard deviation for the set of data.

dem82 [27]

The mean and standard deviation for the set of data will be 16 and 5.87. Then the correct option is A.

<h3>What is a standard deviation?</h3>

It is the measure of the dispersion of statistical data. Dispersion is the extent to which the value is in a variation.

The set of data is given below.

16, 22, 8, 5, 20, 18, 14, 17, 24

The mean of the data set will be

μ = (16 + 22 + 8 + 5 + 20 + 18 + 14 + 17 + 24) / 9

μ = 144 / 9

μ = 16

Then the standard deviation of the data set will be

$\rm \sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\Sigma (x_i - \mu)^2}{n}} \\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{(16 - 16)^2 +(22 - 16)^2 + (8-16)^2 + ......+(24-16)^2 }{9}} \\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{310}{9}}\\$

Simplify the expression further, then we have

σ = √34.44

σ = 5.87

The mean and standard deviation for the set of data will be 16 and 5.87.

Then the correct option is A.

More about the standard deviation link is given below.

Amia has $300 to plan a trip with her cousins. She wants to go to Orlando, Florida and it costs $127 for a room, $75 for gas rou

zhuklara [117]

First let's add the room cost and the gas.

127+75= 202

Let's subtract that from 300.

300-202= 98

Divide 98 by 20.

20 can only go into 98 4 times.

Amia can only bring 3 cousins, since one of those 4 tickets are for her.

I hope this helped you.

Brainliest answer is always appreciated.
