It was reported that in​ 2004, the mean net worth of families in a certain region was ​$470.2 thousand and the median net worth
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Median.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in​ 2004, the mean net worth of families in a certain region was ​$470.2 thousand and the median net worth was ​$92.3 thousand.

We know that mean and median of a symmetric data set is equal.

We also know that when mean of a data set is greater than median, then the data set has a very large valued outlier.

Since mean net wroth of families is approximately 5 times more than median net wroth of families, this means that some of the families has very high net worth as outliers.

Since the net worth of families has very large outliers, therefore, I would prefer median as the appropriate measure of center as median is not affected by outliers.

Two cars are traveling north along a highway. The first drives at 40 mph, and the second, which leaves 3 hours later, travels at
belka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make a table and fill it in according to the information provided. What this question is asking us to find, in the end, is how long did it take the cars to travel the same distance. In other words, how long, t, til car 1's distance = car 2's distance. The table looks like this:

              d     =      r     *     t

car1

car2

We can fill in the rates right away:

             d       =      r     *     t

car1                       40

car2                       60

Now it tells us that car 2 leaves 3 hours after car 1, so logically that means that car 1 has been driving 3 hours longer than car 2:

            d     =      r      *      t

car1                     40         t + 3

car2                     60           t

Because distance = rate * time, the distances fill in like this:

                   d      =      r      *      t

car1    40(t + 3)    =      40        t+3

car2          60t     =       60         t

Going back to the interpretation of the original question, I am looking to solve for t when the distance of car 1 = the distance of car 2. Therefore,

40(t+3) = 60t and

40t + 120 = 60t and

120 = 20t so

t = 6 hours.

A circular mirror has a circumference of 507 inches. What is the
netineya [11]

Answer:

80.7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference = 2 * pi * r

2 * pi * r = 507 inches

r = (507 inches)/(2 * pi)

r = (507 inches)/(2 * 3.14159)

r = (507 inches)/(6.2832)

r = 80.7 inches
