It is 90 ft between the bases of baseball diamond. a catcher throws a baseball to the shortstop who is half-way between second and third bases.
how long is his throw?

127.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A baseball diamond is constructed in a square shape.

The sides are 90 ft each

If a catcher throws a baseball to the shortstop who is half-way between second and third bases, the distance between the third base and the short stop = 1/2(90)

= 45 ft

length of the throw is found using Pythagoras theorem.

Hypothenus ^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2

= 90^2 + 45^2

Hypothenus = √8100 + 2025

=√10125

= 100.62 ft (approximately)

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.
