The distributions of heights of 1000 men and 1000 women selected at random from the population of a large metropolitan area are shown. Compare the heights of the men and women by comparing the mean and the spread of the data sets.

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.

(-5,-28)

i graphed to on desmos.

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
