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.

The cross-sectional areas of a right triangular prism and a right cylinder are congruent. the right triangular prism has a height of 6 units, and the right cylinder has a height of 6 units. which conclusion can be made from the given information? the volume of the triangular prism is half the volume of the cylinder. the volume of the triangular prism is twice the volume of the cylinder. the volume of the triangular prism is equal to the volume of the cylinder. the volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.
