The giant wheel at Cedar point in Ohio is one of the tallest ferris wheel in the country at 136 feet tall. If the giant wheel casts a 34 foot shadow, write and solve a proportion to find the height of a nearby man who casts a 1 1/2 foot shadow

6 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

since these are equal fractions (because it is the same time of day and it is simplified) you put 34/136=1.5/x. to find x you need to multiply 136 by 1.5 so that you can cross multiply to find your answer. it comes out to 204. after you get this you divide 204 by 34 to find the height of the man. it comes out to 6. to check, you multiply 34 by 6 and 136 by 1.5 and they should come out to the same answer

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
