The number of hours worked by the employees of Bob's Car Wash in one week are listed.

20, 40, 30, 36, 36, 40, 39, 36, 38

The mean is 35 hours per week and the median is 36 hours per week.

Which statement best explains why the mean is less than the median?

O

A. There are only 9 employees.

O

B. Nobody works more than 40 hours.

O

c. The smallest number is half the largest.

O

d. One worker works much fewer hours than everyone else.

PLEASE HURRY

Option D

One worker works for much fewer hours than everyone else

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will need to clarify the concepts.

The median of a distribution is the middle number in that distribution, after the values have been arranged in either an ascending or descending order.

The mean is a weighted average of a distribution.

The mean has the characteristic of  usually being affected by extremely low or extremely high values.

In our case, we have a relatively low value in terms of hours worked. This means that in the distribution, the worker that worked only 20 hours, will affect the mean hours worked by all the workers, making it lower than the median value.  

Means give better results, when used to analyse distributions with smaller ranges.

ian gone lie this got me confused

step-by-step explanation:

1. sometimes

2.   never

3   .08c = 7.50+.05c   250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1.   sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.   perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1   in those 60 times.   your experimental probability is 0.   or perhaps you rolled a 1   20 times.   your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3.     it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2.   never

the probability of the event occurring is 1.   that is being 100 % sure it will happen.   that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3.   no customer card cost:   .08 times number of pages

customer card cost:   7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250  

the cost is the same at 250 pages
