You are the coordinator for a program that is going to take place at night in a rectangular amphitheater in the mountains. You will have no access to any electricity, but you must be able to illuminate the entire grounds. You know the intensity of the light from a lantern varies inversely as the square of the distance from the lantern. Suppose the intensity is 90 W/m(2) when the distance is 5 m. a. Write an equation to model the situation.

b. Solve for the constant of variation.

c. Write the equation to model the situation using the constant (k) of variation.

d. You have been given lanterns with 40 W/m (2) light intensity. Use your equation to solve for the distance from the lantern.

e. You need to illuminate 225 km. How many meters do you need to light?

f. How many lanterns will you need?

1. why is a frequency distribution useful? it allows researchers to see the "shape" of the data. it tells researchers how often the mean occurs in a set of data. it can visually identify the mean. it ignores outliers. 2. the is defined by its mean and standard deviation alone. normal distribution frequency distribution median distribution marginal distribution 3. approximately % of the data in a given sample falls within three standard deviations of the mean if it is normally distributed. 95 68 34 99 4. a data set is said to be if the mean of the data is greater than the median of the data. normally distributed frequency distributed right-skewed left-skewed
