(a)

Answer to Problem 23PPS
The graph is misleading as it used two dimensional measures instead of only one to illustrate the number of participant.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given graph is shown in Figure 1
Figure 1
Calculation:
The graph is misleading as it used two dimensional measures instead of only one to illustrate the number of participant.
The ratio of the two dimensional measure is the square of the corresponding ratio of the one dimensional measure. When the diameter of one of the

To find: The way in which the graph can be changed more accurately that represent the growth in the high school tennis participation.
(b)

Answer to Problem 23PPS
The graph can be changed more accurately by the use of on dimensional measure and by the use of histogram.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The number of participant are one dimensional measure this is because there is no unit squares. As one should use a single dimensional measure to determine the number of participants. One of the best practice is histogram as the numbers are represented by the rectangles with the fixed base and the height is represented by the rectangles that represent the corresponding number of the participants.

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
