At the olympic games, many events have several rounds of competition. one of these events is the men's 100-meter backstroke. the upper dot plot shows the times (in seconds) of the top 8 finishers in the final round of the 2012 olympics. the lower dot plot shows the times of the same 8 swimmers, but in the semifinal round. which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.
Acompany manufactures large valves, packed in boxes. a shipment consists of 1500 valves packed in 75 boxes. each box has the outer dimensions 1.2 x 0.8 x 1.6 m and the inner dimensions 1.19 x 0.79 x 1.59 m. the boxes are loaded on a vehicle (truck + trailer). the available capacity in the vehicle combination is 140 m3. each valve has a volume of 0.06 m3. - calculate the load factor on the box level (%). - calculate the load factor on the vehicle level (%). - calculate the overall load factor (%).
