Answer:

C. Set B has the greater range.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start out with listing out each set of data in a way that makes it easier to work with.

Set A:

20,20,30,30,40,40,40,40,40,50,50,60,60,60

Set B:

10,10,20,20,20,30,30,30,30,40,50,50,60

We can start by trying to eliminate answer options; starting with D.

To get the mean of a set of data, we need to add all numbers in the data set and then divide by the number of dots on the plot.

For Set B: 10+10+20+20+20+20+30+30+30+30+40+50+50+60=420 then divide by number of dots (14) 420/14=30 The mean of Set B is equal to 30.

Solve the mean for Set A to compare. The mean is 41. D is not true so we can eliminate this answer choice.

We can look at the median of both sets so that we can eliminate answer choice B. The median is the middle most point in the set of data.

Set A median: 40

Set B median: 30

We can eliminate B because it does not have the greater median.

On to option C: range.

To find the range of each data set, we subtract the smallest number from the biggest number.

Set A: 60-20=40

Set B: 60-10= 50

Set B does in fact have a greater range than Set A. Answer choice C is the correct option.

Felecia left her home to visit her daughter, driving 45mph. Her husband waited for the dog sitter to arrive and left home 20 min

Jet001 [13]

Felecia's husband will catch up to her 1 hour 30 minutes after leaving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Felecia is traveling at 45 mph, her husband starts 20 minutes after her but travels at a speed of 55 mph. So first we need to calculate how much of a head start Felecia got.

Head start = $\frac{1}{3}$ × 45 miles an hour = 15 miles.

So Felecia got a head start of 15 miles.

Step 2; Since Felecia and her husband are traveling at different rates, we can determine how much distance there is between them. Since Felecia is traveling at 45 mph and her husband is traveling at 55 mph, their gap in between is closing at a rate of 55 - 45 = 10 miles every hour. So for every hour, the gap between them is closing by 10 miles.

Total gap initially = 15 miles.

The rate at which gap is being closed = 10 miles an hour.

Time to close the gap = 15 / 10 = 1.5 hours.
