A local charity organization held an event to celebrate its work for the past five years. A local newspaper reporter who attended the event asked 75 of the attendees about their contributions. The reporter computed the mean amount of money raised by the 75 attendees to be $18,500. In an article published by the local newspaper, the reporter was quoted as stating, "The members of the charity organization were successful in raising money for their cause. Last year, they raised a mean amount of $18,500!" Part A: What is a statistical advantage of using the median of the reported amounts, rather than the mean, as the estimate of the typical amount raised? (4 points) Part B: The newspaper editor felt the individuals who attended the event may be different from the organization as a whole. A more detailed survey of the members was planned to determine a better estimate of the amount of money raised. The staff developed two methods based on the available funds to carry out the survey. Method 1: Send out an e-mail to all 10,530 members of the organization and ask them to complete an online form. The staff estimates at least 2,000 members will respond. Method 2: Select a simple random sample of members of the organization and directly contact the selected members by phone. Follow up to ensure all responses are obtained. Because method 2 requires more time than method 1, the staff estimates that only 1,000 members of the organization can be contacted using method 2. Which of the two methods would you select for estimating the average yearly amount raised by all 10,530 members of the charity organization? Explain your reasoning by comparing the two methods and by describing the effect of each method on the estimate.

No one answered when i posted it so i posted it again i will give 20 points and brainliest the club will base its decision about whether to increase the budget for the indoor rock climbing facility on the analysis of its usage. the decision to increase the budget will depend on whether members are using the indoor facility at least two times a week. use the best measure of center for both data sets to determine whether the club should increase the budget. assume there are four weeks in a month. if you think the data is inconclusive, explain why.

Airplane speeds are measured in three different ways: (1) indicated speed, (2) true speed, and (3) ground speed. the indicated airspeed is the airspeed given by an instrument called an airspeed indicator. a plane’s indicated airspeed is different from its true airspeed because the indicator is affected by temperature changes and different altitudes of air pressure. the true airspeed is the speed of the airplane relative to the wind. ground speed is the speed of the airplane relative to the ground. for example, a plane flying at a true airspeed of 150 knots into a headwind of 25 knots will have a ground speed of 125 knots. the problems below refer to static and dynamic pressure. static pressure is used when a body is in motion or at rest at a constant speed and direction. dynamic pressure is used when a body in motion changes speed or direction or both. a gauge compares these pressures, giving pilots an indicated airspeed. in problem #s 1 and 2, use the following information. the indicated airspeed s (in knots) of an airplane is given by an airspeed indicator that measures the difference p (in inches of mercury) between the static and dynamic pressures. the relationship between s and p can be modeled by s=136.4p√+4.5. 1. find the differential pressure when the indicated airspeed is 157 knots. 2. find the change in the differential pressure of an airplane that was traveling at 218 knots and slowed down to195 knots. in problem #s 3 and 4, use the following information. the true airspeed t (in knots) of an airplane can be modeled by t=(1+a50,000) ⋅ s, where a is the altitude (in feet) and s is the indicated airspeed (in knots). 3. write the equation for true airspeed t in terms of altitude and differential pressure p. 4. a plane is flying with a true airspeed of 280 knots at an altitude of 20,000 feet. estimate the differential pressure. explain why you think your estimate is correct.
