Alicia drew a map of Texas. In the scale Alicia used for the map, .50 inch represents 20 miles. What is the distance between two cities on the map if the actual distance between the two cities is 360 miles?

An actual distance of 360 miles correspond to 9 inches on the map

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have a scale of 0.5 inches representing 20 miles

Now, we want to relate an actual distance of 360 miles to a measurement on the map using the scale

From here, we have that;

0.5 inches = 20 miles

x inches = 360 miles

x * 20 = 0.5 * 360

20x = 180

x = 180/20

x = 9 inches

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
