Answer: Choice A) The mode is greater than the median

Mode = 95, median = 90

========================================================

Explanation:

The mode is the most frequent value. In this case, the mode is 95. All we do is look for the highest bar, and then record the x value connected with it. The higher the bar, the more frequent the value.

------------------------

The median will take a bit more work, but it's not too bad.

First add up the heights of every bar shown:

2+3+4+6+7+10+5 = 37

So there are 37 scores. The median will be in the very exact middle. Divide 37 over 2 to get 37/2 = 18.5

Erase off the 0.5 and we can say that 18 values are below the median, and 18 values are above the median. So we have 18+1+18 = 37 values total.

The median will be in slot 18+1 = 19.

From here, we add up the bar heights (starting on the left and working toward the right). We're trying to see when we reach 19 or higher, since the median is in that 19th slot.

  • Add the first two bar heights: 2+3 = 5. That value is not 19 or larger.
  • Add the first three bar heights: 2+3+4 = 9. Still not 19 or larger
  • First four bar heights: 2+3+4+6 = 15. We're getting closer, but still no.
  • First five bars: 2+3+4+6+7 = 22. We've crossed over 19. The median must be 90 because that x value is tied to the fifth bar.

------------------------

To summarize:

  • mode = 95
  • median = 90

The mode is larger than the median.

This is why choice A is the answer.

the distance around a track is 400m. if you take 14 laps around the track what is the total distance you walk? use mental math
Olegator [25]

to do it in mental math: you can ignore the zeroes in 400 for now.

4*14 = 4*10 + 4*4 = 40 + 16 = 56

now add the zeroes back on: 5600m

Help please :(??? I need an answer
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

C. $23 per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change (slope).

In the given equation, m = 23, therefore, the rate of change is 23 units (in this case, dollars per day).

Hope this helps!
