The terms central location or central tendency relate to the way quantitative data tend to cluster around some middle or central value. a. True
b. False

A: True

Step-by-step explanation:

It's true because central tendency is defined as a branch of descriptive statistics that shows the centre of the data distribution.

This central tendency could be mean, median or mode.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
