Let a = 4 and b = 3. select from the drop-down menu to create a true statement. 2ab+b2   >   3a2– (a: 2. b: 2b. c: 4a. d: 4b.

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.

a is 8.b is 10.c is 10.5. d is -.5

step-by-step explanation:

just minus the smallest number from the biggest.
