Answer 1

B. able cable

Explanation:

Answer 2

Able Cable

Explanation:

Mean Value of Samples

It's central tendency statistics measure that gives one representative value out of a complete dataset. It can be computed as the sum of the values by the number of values:

`\displaystyle \bar x=(\sum x_i)/(n)`

We need to evaluate the mean value of the three internet providers mentioned in the question.

For CityNet:

`\displaystyle \bar x_1=(3.6+3.7+3.7+3.6+3.9)/(5)=3.7`

For Able Cable:

`\displaystyle \bar x_2=(3.9+3.9+4.1+4.0+4.1)/(5)=4.0`

And for Tel-N-Net:

`\displaystyle \bar x_3=(3.9+3.7+4.0+3.6+3.8)/(5)=3.8`

We can conclude Able Cable offers the fastest mean downloading internet speed
