The ages in years of 21 people in a swimming pool are displayed in the stem-and-leaf plot. Determine the median age of
1 answer:
Answer:
<h3>5 years</h3>Step-by-step explanation:
To get the median of the ages given
2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 0, 3, 5, 9, 1, 4, 7, 6, 1, 2, 4, 4, 8
First we will need to rearrange the median ages in ascending order (from lowest to highest)
0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9
Next is to locate the middle value of the arranged data
(0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4), 5, (5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9)
The total values in both parenthesis are the same(10 in numbers) leaving 5 as the middle number.
Hence the median age of the people in the pool is 5years

none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
The grocer's revenue will be the product of the number of loaves sold (30-2x) and their price (2.50+0.50x).
Revenue will be positive for values of x between those that make these factors be zero. The number of loaves sold will be zero when ...
... 30 -2x = 0
... 15 -x = 0 . . . . . divide by 2
... x = 15 . . . . . . . add x
The price of each loaf will be zero when ...
... 2.50 +0.50x = 0
... 5 + x = 0 . . . . . . . multiply by 2
... x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5
Revenue will be positive for any number of increases greater than -5 and less than 15.
_____
D is the best of the offered choices, but it is incorrect in detail. -5 is a number less than 15, but will give zero revenue.
