Given that after a discount of 40% a furniture was bought for $438. The original price of the furniture will be calculated as follows:
discount=40%
new percentage price=100-40=60%
Original percentage price=100%
New buying price=$438
therefore, the original price was:
100/60×438
=$730
The original price was $730
I believe the answer is A, the standard deviation is preferable to the range as a measure of variation because the standard deviation takes into account all of the observations, whereas the range considers only the largest and the smallest. Range gives an overall spread of data from the lowest to the largest and thus can be influenced by anomalies, standard deviation on the other hand, takes into account the variable data/spread about the mean and allows for statistical use so inferences can be made.<span />
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
let the numbers be a+b+c+d.
the average of 4 numbers is 38
; (a+b+c+d)/4 = 38
(a+b+c+d) = 152 ......equ1
the average of the first two numbers is 42
; (a+b)/2 = 42
(a+b) = 84 ...... equ2
the average of the last three numbers is 36
; (b+c+d)/3 = 36
(b+c+d) = 108 .....equ3
substitute equ3 into equ1
a + 108 = 152
a= 152 - 108
a = 44
input the value of a into equ2
44 + b = 84
b = 40
the second number is 40.
I hope this helps.
