Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?

A dependent variable is one that depends on the independent variable. An independent variable is one that when changed result in a change of another variable.

In this problem, if we change the brand of laptop, tax rate, and memory size, the price of the laptop changes. Thus, the cost of the laptop is the dependent variable.

C organizes the collection correctly.

The mean of a data set is the sum of all scores divided by the number of tests.

Total test scores = 83+86+76+88+97 = 430

Number of tests = 5

Mean test score = 430/5 = 86

The mean test score is 86.

The length of the chair could be appropriately measured in centimeters. Kilometers are used to measure long distances while micrometers could be used to measure the length of small microorganism in microbiology lab. However, milligrams are used to measure the masses of small quantities.

Using a calculator to evaluate 15÷27 results in 0.5555555556. To two decimal places, the answer becomes 0.56.

Thus, 0.56 is the decimal equivalent of 15/27.

We use the calculator to find the positive square root of 19, which is then multiplied by 3.

Using the calculator,

Multiplying the square root above with 3 becomes

The approximate value of 3 times the square root of 19 is 13.1.

The median of a data set is a number that falls in the middle of the data set. To find the median, the numbers in the data set are arranged from the smallest to the largest. In the given data set, the organized arrangement is:

-5, -1, 0, 3, 9

There are five elements in the data set, and the median falls in the third position from either side. Thus, 0 falls in the third position.

The percentage change in weight is found in three steps below:

Absolute change in weight=final weight-initial weight

Absolute change in weight=(left|120-153 ight|=left|-33 ight|=33)

Relative change in weight=(frac{absolute change}{initial weight}=frac{33}{153}=0.216)

Percent change=relative change * 100%

Percent change=0.216*100%=21.6%

The percent change in weight lost is 21.6 %, which is about 22%.

The number of boxes is determined by volume of the room divided by volume of one box.

Number of boxes

Therefore, about 24 boxes can be stacked in the room.

To convert millilitres (mL) to litres (L), we use the fact that:

1 L=1000 mL

So, to convert 2,500 mL to litres:

=2.5 L

Thus, the patient needs 2.5 litres of saline.

The correct answer is C. 2.5 L.
