Set up a ratio:
240/180 = X/36
Cross multiply:
240 * 36 = 180x
8640 = 180x
Divide both sides by 180:
X = 8640 / 180 = 48
The person would weigh 48 pounds.
Answer: The graph is attached.
Step-by-step explanation: The given functions whose graphs are to be compared are as follows:
In the attached figure, the graphs of both (A) and (B) are shown. We can easily see see from there, the shapes of both the graphs are same.
But, at x = 0, y = ∞ and at x = ∞, y = 0 in graph (A).
At x = 0, y = ∞ and at x = ∞, y = 6 in graph (B).
Thus, the comparison can be seen in the figure very clearly.
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 />
