Answer:

8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of person = 2metres

Length of person's shadow = 6 meters

Height of flagpole =?

Length of flagpole shadow = 24 meters

Height of person = length of person's shadow

Height of flagpole = length of person's shadow

2 = 6

x = 24

Cross multiply

6x = 48

x = 48 / 6

x = 8 meters

Variability is the measure of the variation of a data set from the center. The mean and the median are the qualities that measure the center of a distribution.

For the first option, if more data is clustered around the median, (the measure of center), then the distribution has less variability than when less data is clustered around the median. Therefore, the first answer option is not correct because if more data is clustered around the median in the shaded plants set, then the shaded plant set will have less variability.

For the second option, the range is a measure of variability which measures the spread of the data set from the least value to the greatest value, but it does not take into account the variability of the other data values of the data set. Thus the range is regarded as a weak measure of variability and is not used when other measures of variability are available. Therefore, the second option is not correct.

For the third option, the inter-quartile range (IQR) is a better measure of variability than the range because it takes into account more data points than the range. Now, because, the f<span>ull sun plants set has a greater IQR, this shows that they have greater variability. Therefore, the third option is the correct answer.

For the fourth option, the median is not a measure of variability. Thus, that a data set has a greater median than another data set does not mean that the data set would have a greater variability. Therefore, the fourth option is not the correct answer.</span>

Which is a factor of 144 - 49x²?<br> O 12-7x²<br> O 72-7x²<br> O 12-7x<br> O 72 + 7x
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: C: 12-7x

Step-by-step explanation:

This expression is a good example of the difference of two squares, as 144 is the square of 12, while 49x² is the square of 7x.

Any difference of two squares a^2-b^2 can be factored into the sum of their square roots times the difference of their square roots (a+b)(a-b).

Let's factor our expression.

144-49x^2=(12+7x)(12-7x)

Out of all the options given, only 12-7x is a factor. Hence, option C is correct.
