Number of jobs=1

Time: 
<span>Since ‘x’ is given as a variable in the choices, we should reserve it for Kate and use ‘y’ for Jean as follows: </span>
<span>
Kate: => x </span>
<span>Jean: => y </span>

<span>But y = x - 5 </span>

<span>Combined rate: </span>
<span>1/x+ 1/y </span>
<span>= (x + y)/(xy) </span>

<span>Number of jobs done: </span>
<span>
Number of days X combined rate = number of jobs </span>
<span>6 [(x + y)/(xy)] = 1 </span>
<span>6x + 6y = xy </span>
<span>6x + 6(x - 5) = x(x - 5) </span>
<span>6x + 6x - 30 = x² - 5x </span>
<span>12x - 30 = x² - 5x </span>
<span>x² - 17x + 30 = 0 
</span>
Therefore, the answer would be A.

The mean score of a competency test is 82, with a standard deviation of 2. Between what two values do about 99.7% of the values
goldenfox [79]
99.7% encompasses about 3 standard deviations either side of the mean.

82 ±3*2 = (76, 88)

About 99.7% of the values lie between 76 and 88.

Blanche bought a 5-year cd for $7100 with an apr of 2.8%, compounded quarterly, but she wants to take all her money out 9 months
katrin2010 [14]
The formula for getting the accumulated amount(compounded) is;
A =P(1+r%)∧n
Where A = Acumulated amount 
            P = principle (deposit)
            r = interest rate and
            n = period
Since the interst is compounded quartly, 
period = (5×4)-3 = 17

A = 7100(1+2.8/100)∧17
   = 7100×1.028∧17
   = 11,353.80

The money she will end up earning in interest on the cd = $11,353.80

The following table shows the number of hours some teachers in two schools expect students to spend on homework each week: Schoo
Lerok [7]

Answer:

For school A: Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17, IQR=9.5

For school B: Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19, IQR=7.5

No, the box plots are not symmetric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The given data sets are

School A : 9,14,15,17,17,7,15,6,6

School B : 12,8,13,11,19,15,16,5,8

Arrange the data in ascending order.

School A : 6,6,7,9,14,15,15,17,17

School B : 5,8,8,11,12,13,15,16,19

Divide each data set in four equal parts.

School A : (6,6),(7,9),14,(15,15),(17,17)

School B : (5,8),(8,11),12,(13,15),(16,19)

For school A:

Minimum=6, Q₁=6.5, Median= 14, Q₃=16, Maximum=17

Interquartile range of the data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=16-6.5=9.5

For school B:

Minimum=5, Q₁=8, Median= 12, Q₃=15.5, Maximum=19

Interquartile range of the data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=15.5-8=7.5

Part B:

The box plots are not symmetric because the data values are different. Five number summary and IQR of both the data set are different.
