The order of temperatures increasing would be:
-7, -6, -4, -3, 5.
Therefore, the median is -4.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
The probability would be out of 100,
in this case if it refers to the data from 2009 it would be 39:61
It would take greater than 31.25 hours for Tim's price to be better. So in terms of whole hours it would take at least 32 hours of work for Tim's price to be better.
The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.
W=S-2 and L=2S-3
And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.
S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:
S^2=(2S-3)(S-2) perform indicated multiplication on right side
S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6 combine like terms on right side
S^2=2S^2-7S+6 subtract S^2 from both sides
S^2-7S+6=0 factor:
S^2-S-6S+6=0
S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0
(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:
S=6 is the only valid value for S. Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...
W=S-2 and L=2S-3 given that S=6 in
W=4 in and L=9 in
So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.
