Bunuel · Accepted Answer

• The cave with the largest mapped passage length also has the smallest floor area.

Largest mapped passage length is Dusk at 260 km; the smallest floor area is Azur at 24.0 km^2. They are not the same cave. Answer:  No .

• Cinder has the median value across all four listed physical characteristics (depth, volume, floor area, mapped passage length).

Sort each column and take the middle value (third of five). For depth, volume, floor area, and mapped passage length, the middle value in each case belongs to Cinder. Therefore, the statement is true. Answer:  Yes .

• The range of depths among the five caves is greater than 1000 meters.

Depth range = max - min = 1280 − 180 = 1100 meters, which is greater than 1000 meters. Answer:  Yes .

APram · Answer

One with the largest mapped passage is Dusk but it do not have the smallest floor area
So False

Sorting all columns, we see Cinder is the median in all
So True

Range of depth is 1280-180 =1100>1000 so True

So answer is False, True, True

Dereno · Answer

1) The cave with the largest mapped passage length also has the smallest floor area.

The largest mapped passage belongs to Dusk. The floor area of Dusk = 47.5 Km^2 which is greater than 24.0 ( the smallest floor area belonging to Azur).

Hence,  No .

2) Cinder has the median value across all four listed physical characteristics (depth, volume, floor area, mapped passage length)

Lets arrange the values in ascending order for each category.

Depth median = Cinder (790).

Volume median = Cinder (180).

Floor area median = Cinder (51.0).

Mapped passage Length median = Cinder (120).

Hence,  Yes.

3) The range of depths among the five caves is greater than 1000 meters.

Range of depths = 1280 - 180 = 1100 , which is GREATER than 1000 metres. Hence,  Yes .

RenukaKhope · Answer

1.  The cave with the largest mapped passage length is Dusk with the value 260 km, but has the floor area of 47.5 km^2 which isnt the smallest (24.0). Therefore No.
2. Depth = 790, Volume = 180, Floor area = 51, mapped passage length = 120, all median in respective characteristic. Therefore Yes.
3. Min value = 180, max value = 1280, range = 1100. Therefore yes.

Aryaa25 · Answer

1) The cave with the largest mapped passage length also has the smallest floor area.  --> No  ( Not least but second least value i.e 47.5)
 2) Cinder has the median value across all four listed physical characteristics (depth, volume, floor area, mapped passage length) --->  yes  ( 790,180,51, 120) 
 3) The range of depths among the five caves is greater than 1000 meters. ---> 1280-180 -->1100>1000 -->  yes  
  Cinder has the median value across all four listed physical characteristics (depth, volume, floor area, mapped passage length). 
    Cinder has the median value across all four listed physical characteristics (depth, volume, floor area, mapped passage len

1. The cave with the largest mapped passage length also has the smallest floor area.

Sort the Largest mapped passage length, and we see that Dusk has 260 km, but the smallest floor area is 24.0 km^2 of Azur. Hence, No.

2 Cinder has the median value across all four listed physical characteristics (depth, volume, floor area, mapped passage length).

By sorting each column and noting the middle value for depth, volume, floor area, and mapped passage length, the median value which is 3rd position in 5 listing in each case belongs to Cinder. Hence, yes.

3. The range of depths among the five caves is greater than 1000 meters.

By looking at depth column, we see that max is 1280 and min is 180, and range is noting but difference of max and min, so 1280 − 180 = 1100 mtrs, which is greater than 1000 mtrs. Hence, Yes.
