The article "Snow Cover and Temperature Relationships in North America and Eurasia"� used statistical techniques to relate the amount of snow cover on each continent to average continental temperature. Data presented there included the following ten observations on October snow cover for Eurasia during the years 1970-1979 (in million km2): 6.5 12.0 14.9 10.0 10.7 7.9 21.9 12.5 14.5 9.2 What would you report as a representative, or typical, value of October snow cover for this period, and what prompted your choice? a) The median of this sample because the median is always the best central measure. b) The mean of this sample because the mean is always the best central measure. c) The median of this sample because a potential outlier may produce a misleading mean. d) The mean of this sample because a potential outlier may produce a misleading median.

Acar dealership pays you 5% commission on your first $10,000 on car sales and 8% commission on the sale amount over $10,000 if you sold a $12,000 car how much is your commission

John read the first 114 pages of a novel, which was 3 pages less than 1/3 of the novel. write an equation to determine the total number of pages (p)(p) in the novel.

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
