1. Use , , or = to compare the ratios. Show your work. (a) 5 : 8 and 7 : 10
(b) 9/6 and 36/24

(a) 5 : 8 < 7 : 10

(b) 9/6 = 36/24

Step-by-step explanation:

make the denominator the same

(a)

5 : 8 and 7 : 10 is

5/8 and 7/10

25/40 and 28/40

now compare the top numbers or numerators

28/40 or 7/10 is bigger

(b)

9/6 and 36/24

9/6 is also 36/24

so these two numbers are the same

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
