Solution:

Dropdown 1 For this region, the ratio of the number of lots with the designation vacant to the number with the designation park is approximately 10:1.

Number of lots with the designation vacant 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20--> 20

Number of lots with the designation park 0-2--->2

So, the ratio would be \(\frac{20}{2}\) = 10:1

Dropdown 2 For this region, the ratio of the mean area of the lots with the designation vacant to the mean area of the lots with the designation park is approximately 4:1.

Mean area of the lots with the designation park=\(\frac{0+5+10+15+20+25+30+35+40}{900}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\).

Mean area of the lots with the designation vacant =\(\frac{0+5+10}{300}\)=\(\frac{1}{20}\)

So, the ratio should be 4:1.

Question 1:
The graph indicates that for this region approximately 20% of the lots have the designation vacant and 2% of the lots have the designation park. Therefore, for this region the number of lots with the designation vacant \s 10 times the number with the designation park, and hence for this region the ratio of the number of lots with the designation vacant to the number with the designation park is 10 to 1.

The correct answer is 10 to 1.


Question 2:
Let 4 be the total area of the region and let N be the total number of lots in the region. The graph shows that there are approximately 0.2N (i.e., 20% of N) lots with the designation vacant and these lots together use an area of approximately 0.1A (i.e., 10% of A). Thus, the mean area of the lots with the designation vacant is approximately \(\frac{01A}{02N} =\frac{1}{2} (\frac{A}{N})\) The graph also shows that there are approximately 0.02N (i.e., 2% of N) lots with the designation park and these lots together use an area of approximately 0.4/4 (i.e., 40% of A). Thus, the mean area of the lots with the designation park is approximately \(\frac{0.4A}{0.02N} = 20(\frac{A}{N})\) Therefore, for this region the ratio of the mean area of the lots with the designation vacant to the mean area of the lots with the designation park is approximately 1/2 to 20, or equivalently, 1 to 40.

The correct answer is 1 to 40.

This is a very tricky question, esp the 2nd part.. You need to read the stem carefully

Mean area = Area / # of lots
Let total area and total lots = 100 each

For Park:
Total Area = 40% = 40
Total lots = 2% = 2
Mean Area of lots = 40/2 = 20

For Vacant:
Total Area = 10% = 10
Total lots = 20% = 20
Mean Area lots = 10/20 = 1/2

Required ratio: Vacant / Park = 1/2 / 20 = 1/40

Number of lots = Total Area/Mean Lot Area

Ratio of number of vacant lots to park lots = (percent lots vacant) / (percent lots park) = 20/2 = 10:1

Ratio of mean lot area vacant to mean lot area park = (percent area vacant / percent lots vacant) / (percent area park / percent lots park) = (10/20)/(40/2) = 1 : 40
