After a series of rainy days, a meteorologist wants to compare the average daily rainfall over the past week between two cities. the daily rainfall totals, in inches, for both cities are given below. which of the following statements are true regarding the data sets above? the mean rainfall of city a is greater than the mean rainfall of city b. the median rainfall of city b is half the median rainfall of city a. the range of rainfall amounts for city a is greater than the range of rainfall amounts for city b. the median rainfall is less than the mean rainfall for both cities. i and iv ii and iii ii and iv i and iii

hi there!

the answer will be d: 2

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
