Answer:

The correct option is;

(Choice B) Both the mean and median will increase, but the mean will increase by more than the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are expected to show the differences (advantages/properties) of the mean and median

Note that the definition of the mean is the sum of the value of all data points divided by the number of data points

Assuming the four accountants each earn $ 55,000.00

Therefore, initial mean before getting rd of the part-time accountant is

(55+ 55+ 55 + 55 + 10)/5 = 46

Final mean after the part-time accountant is gone =(55+ 55+ 55 + 55 )/4 = 55

Therefore the mean increases

However, the median is given by the middle value when the list of values are arranged in increasing order as

55, 55, 55, 55, 10

Therefore the initial median is 55

Final median after the part-time accountant is gone is

55, 55, 55, 55

Therefore, final = (55 + 55)/2 = 55

That is the median remains the same that is little or increase.

Therefore, since the range of values for the full time accountants salaries weigh less than the difference between the average full time salary and a single part time, both the mean and the median will increase but the mean will increase more than the median

Triangle MNP has side lengths 3.5 cm, 4.1 cm, and 4.3 cm. A triangle with what side lengths would be similar to triangle MNP?
atroni [7]

Answer:

Option 1,

The triangle MNP is similar to the triangle with side lengths 35 cm, 41 cm, 43 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle MNP has side lengths 3.5 cm, 4.1 cm, and 4.3 cm. we have to find the similarity triangle sides from the given option.

As we know, the two triangles are similar if the measures of the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional.

For the first option: 35 cm, 41 cm, 43 cm

\frac{3.5}{4.1}=\frac{4.1}{41}=\frac{4.3}{43}=\frac{1}{10}

which shows that the sides are proportional.

we have to choose only one option ∴ we needn't have to check the others

Hence, the triangle MNP is similar to the triangle with side lengths 35 cm, 41 cm, 43 cm
