The hourly wages earned by 20 employees are shown in the first box-and-whisker plot below. The person earning $15 per hour quits

and is replaced with a person earning $8 per hour. The graph of the resulting salaries is shown in plot 2. A box-and-whisker plot is shown. The number line goes from 7 to 15. The whiskers range from 8 to 15, and the box ranges from 8.8 to 10.2. A line divides the box at 9.5. Plot 1 A box-and-whisker plot is shown. The number line goes from 7 to 15. The whiskers range from 8 to 11, and the box ranges from 8.7 to 10. A line divides the box at 9.6. Plot 2 How does the mean and median change from plot 1 to plot 2? The mean and median remain the same. The mean decreases, and the median remains the same. The mean remains the same, and the median decreases. The mean and median decrease.

Answer:

<h2>The mean decreases, and the median remains the same.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a box plot is made by the quartiles of the distribution, the maximum value and the minimum value. So, from a box plot we can deduct the range, the median and the interquartile range.

In this case, the median remains the same at $9.5 per hour. The median is indicated by the middle line of the box, and you can observe that it doesn't change.

Now, the range of the data set decreases from 7 to 3.

On the other hand, the mean must decrease, because data greater than $11 doesn't exist in the box plot number 2, and the mean is a central measure sensible to those changes.

Therefore, the right answer is <em>The mean decreases, and the median remains the same.</em>

What are the measurements of the two angles in the figure below?
IgorC [24]

Both angles need to equal 180 degrees .

Add them together:

2x +10 + 3x-5 = 180

5X +5 = 180

Subtract 5 from each side:

5x = 175

Divide both sides by 5:

X = 175 / 5

X = 35


Now replace X with 35 in each equation:

2x +10 = 2(35) +10 = 70 +10 = 80

3x-5 = 3(35) - 5 = 105 -5 = 100


The answer is A. 80 and 100

The common ratio of a geometric series is 3 and the sum of the first 8 terms is 3280.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The first term of the geometric series is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the first term of a geometric series, given the common ratio, and the sum of the first 8 terms.

Mathematically, the sum of terms in a geometric series can be calculated as;

S = a(r^n-1)/( r-1)

where a is the first term that we are looking for

r is the common ratio which is 3 according to the question

n is the number of terms which is 8

S is the sum of the number of terms which is 3280 according to the question

Plugging these values, we have

3280 = a(3^8 -1)/(3-1)

3280 = a( 6561-1)/2

3280 = a(6560)/2

3280 = 3280a

a = 3280/3280

a = 1

Answer:

1. x = 67.5

2. x = 2.5

3. x = 35.2

4. x = 2.0

5. x = 17.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

The proportion is set up in the form x/9 = 15/2. Multiply both sides by two to get rid of the two in the denominator on the right side. After doing so, multiply by 9 on both sides to get rid of the 9 in the denominator on the left:

2x/9 = 15

2x = 9(15)

Next solve for x:

2x = 135

x = 67.5

Question 2

The proportion is set up in the form 20/8.7 = 5.8/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 8.7. This will leave you with the work below:

20x/8.7 = 5.8

20x = 8.7(5.8)

Next, solve for x:

20x = 50.46

x = 2.523

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 2.5

Question 3

The proportion is set up in the form 5/16 = 11/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 16. This will leave you with the work below:

5x/16 = 11

5x = 11(16)

Next, solve for x:

5x = 176

x = 35.2

Question 4

The proportion is set up in the form x/0.06 = 17/0.5. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 0.5, and then both sides by the first, 0.06. This will leave you with the work below:

0.5x/0.06 = 17

0.5x = 17(0.06)

Next, solve for x:

0.5x = 1.02

x = 2.04

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 2.0

Question 5

The proportion is set up in the form 29/x = 75/44. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 44, and then both sides by the first, x. This will leave you with the work below:

29(44)/x = 75

29(44) = 75x

Next, solve for x:

1276 = 75x

x = 17.0133

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 17.0
