Answer:

Option B ,$133.92 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

By consolidating both balances in Card B,APR of 12% would apply to funds in card A as well

Let us approach the question by solving for monthly payment of Card A using 12% APR as follows while making use of excel pmt formula:

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the monthly rate on the card which is 12%/12=1%

nper is the number of months of payment which is 12 months * 4 years=48

pv is the current balance in the card which is $1,389.47

fv is the total amount of monthly repayment which is taken as zero

=pmt(1%,48,-1389.47,0)=$ 36.59

Using 16% monthly payment is $39.38 which is given already

Total monthly payments for 16%=$39.38*48=$1890.24

Total monthly payments for 12% APR=$36.59*48=$1756.32

savings in total repayments=savings in interest=$1890.24 -$1756.32 =$133.92

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.

The best measure of center tendency for this set of data would be the median. It is the best measurement because the data set has an outlier. The outlier is the 30. So to find the median we first order the data set and then find out if the set is an even or odd set. This set is even so we just chose the middle number. If the set was even, we would add the two center number and divide them by 2.

3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 30

The center tendency = 4

Aneli [31]

Answer:

$\left ( x+5 \right )^{2}+\left ( y-6 \right )^{2}= 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

The power station is located 5 miles west and 6 miles north of the center of town. So if we try to locate the above points on a Cartesian plane. The co-ordinates of these points will be (-5,6).

And it is also mentioned that a power outage affected all homes and businesses within a 3 mile radius of the power station. So if we plot all the furthest points from the station affected by the power outage it will be a circle of radius 3 miles and center at (-5,6).

The equation of a circle with center (a,b) and radius r is given by :

$\left ( x-a \right )^{2}+\left ( y-b \right )^{2}= r^{2}$

Hence the equation of the resulting circle will be: $\left ( x+5 \right )^{2}+\left ( y-6 \right )^{2}= 3^{2}$
