a. characterize this distribution in terms of center and spread (variation)

b. draw a histogram and describe its shape.

c. offer a theory as to why the shape looks as its does. be sure to give the locations of the main features.

d. what would be a good strategy for sorting and characterizing these data?

e. how do the mean and the median compare? what do the iqr and the standard deviation say about this distribution?

Which of the following is the missing term, a2, of the geometric sequence in which a1=2 and a3=200

When a rectangle is dilated, how do the perimeter and area of the rectangle change?

The table shows the relationship between the number of cups of cereal and the number of cups of raisins in a cereal bar recipe: number of cups of cereal number of cups of raisins 8 2 12 3 16 4 molly plotted an equivalent ratio as shown on the grid below: a graph is shown. the title of the graph is cereal bars. the horizontal axis label is cereal in cups. the x-axis values are 0, 20, 40, 60, 80,100. the vertical axis label is raisins in cups. the y-axis values are 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. a point is plotted on the ordered pair 40,20. which of these explains why the point molly plotted is incorrect? (a) if the number of cups of cereal is 40, then the number of cups of raisins will be10. (b)if the number of cups of raisins is 40, then the number of cups of cereal will be10. (c) if the number of cups of cereal is 40, then the number of cups of raisins will be 80. (d) if the number of cups of raisins is 40, then the number of cups of cereal will be 80.
