A farmer is planning for a growing season and want to know the trend in amount of rainfall in his area. He obtains rainfall falling in the first 5 months of the year as shown in the above table. Which of the following would best display the data?

Month	January	February	March	April	May
Rainfall (mm)	20	6	14	28	34

 

The median of a data set is found in two ways:

For an odd data set, the median fall in the (N+1)/2 th position.

For an even data set, the median is the average of the element in the (N/2)th and (N+1)/2 th positions.

To find the median of the given data set, we need to arrange the elements from the smallest to the largest as follows:

12, 12, 16, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 35, 35

There are 11 elements in the data set. 11 is an odd number and the median fall in the (N+1)/2 th position.

Median =(11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.

From the organized data, the element in the 6th position is 22, which is the required median for the data set.

A whole pizza represents 1, and two friends eat ¼ of the pizza. The remaining fraction of pizza is:

Remaining amount = 

Thus, 3/4 of pizza is left for three friends to share equally.

Now, the other three friends will each get

So, the other three friends will each get 1/4 of the pizza.

to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile; we find total distance and total time the athlete takes in running.

Total distance run by athlete=7+3=10 miles

Total time=45+15 =60 minutes

The athlete runs 10 miles in 60 minutes. For the athlete to cover 1 mile, he will run for a time less than 60 minutes. Thus, in 1 mile, the athlete takes:

So, in 6 minutes, the athlete covers 1 mile.

From the given data, we can draw the following triangle by letting the unknown length to be p.

We apply the Pythagoras theorem, the value of p:

The unknown length of the triangle is about 21.4 feet.

We use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.

We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 10oz of ammonia. Expressing this mathematically yields two options:

\(\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\)or\(\frac{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}\)

Now we find how much ammonia is needed using option two.

\(51\ gallon\ of\ solution\ *\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\ =\ 510\ oz\ of\ ammonia\)

From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.

Therefore, the solution will require 510 oz of ammonia.

Here we convert between feet and yards. We know 1 yard =3 feet. Then, 27 feet to yards will be:

Thus, 9 yards is equal to 27 ft.

We solve for the value of x by following the order of operations

3(x-2)=15

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Thus, the value of x is 8.

We are required to find the doctor’s earning in 4 weeks after taking off taxes.

The first step is to find the total weekly deductions as follows:

Total weekly tax=federal income tax + state income tax + Social Security tax

Total weekly tax=$(85.00+40.00+81.00)

Total tax=$206.00

The next step is to find the weekly income after deducting total taxes

Weekly net income=gross income-total tax

Weekly net income=$(980.00-206.00)=$774.00

In one week, the net income of the doctor is $774.00 and after 4 weeks, the net income will be 4 times his weekly earning

Let x be the original price of the recliner.

Step 1: Apply the 30% discount

The recliner is on sale for 30% less than the original price:

SalePrice=x−0.3x=0.7x

Step 2: Apply the 25% coupon discount

The consumer gets an additional 25% off the sale price:

FinalPrice=0.7x−0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x

Step 3: Solve for x

The consumer paid $237, so:

0.525x=237

​ x≈451.43x

Rounding to the nearest dollar, the original price is $451.

In a bell-shaped curve, the data distribution is symmetric around a single peak. The centering of data around a single peak means the mean, mode and median of the test are all equal to each other.
