Four objects are being tested to see how they are affected by fluid friction. object w has a surface area of 4.5 cm2, object x has a surface area of 2.5 cm2, object y has a surface area of 6.2 cm2, and object z has a surface area of 3 cm2. which object would experience the most fluid friction?

An insurance company wants to know if the average speed at which men drive cars is higher than that of women drivers. the company took a random sample of 27 cars driven by men on a highway and found the mean speed to be 72 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.2 miles per hour. another sample of 18 cars driven by women on the same highway gave a mean speed of 68 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 2.5 miles per hour. assume that the speeds at which all men and all women drive cars on this highway are both approximately normally distributed with unknown and unequal population standard deviations.

Why is it important always to use horizontal bars in unit fractions when performing unit conversions?
