A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,

    N = (2)(n/10)

Simplifying,

<em>   N = n/5</em>

b. If the number of boards are 90 then,

     N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
     N2 = 1800

Answer: 1800

The exact answer is:

The algebraic expression n/10, where n is the number of boards, represents the number of times he gets 2 free boxes of nails. So 2(n/10), or n/5, is the number of boxes, and 100(n/5), or 20n, is the number of nails. Substituting 90 in for n,

An in-ground pond has the shape of a rectangular prism. The pond has a depth of 24 inches and a volume of 72,000 cubic inches. T
Ksenya-84 [330]
Let
x-------> <span>the length of the pond
</span>y-------> the  width of the pond

we know that
[volume of the pond]=area of the base*deep
area of the base=volume/deep
volume=72000 in³
deep=24 in
area of the base=72000/24------> 3000 in²

area of the base=x*y
3000=x*y-------> equation 1
x=2y-----> equation 2

substitute equation 2 in equation 1
3000=[2y]*y------> 2y²=3000-----> y²=1500------> y=38.7 in
x=2y----> x=2*38.7----> x=77.4 in

the answer is
the length of the pond is 77.4 in
the  width of the pond is 38.7 in

Roger claims that the two statistics most likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set are the mean and
Leni [432]

Answer:

No, the Roger’s claim is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Roger claims that the two statistics most likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set are the mean and the median.

This statement by Roger is incorrect because the median is unaffected by the outlier value and only the mean value gets affected by the outlier value.

As the median represents the middlemost value of our dataset, so any value which is an outlier will be either at the start or at the end will not the median value. So, the median will not likely change when an outlier is added to a small data set.

Now, the mean is the average of all the data set values, that is the sum of all the observations divided by the number of observations. The mean will get affected by the outlier value because it take into account each and every value of the data set.

Hence, the mean will likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set.
