In calculating the mean of this data set  Ashrita did the best job.

The  Mean of the data set is the most commonly used measures of central tendency.

It means the average value of the data set.

one doesn't have to arrange the data in order  for finding it.

<h3>What is the meaning of mean?</h3>

The data set value  takes is to add them all together and divide that by the number of the data.

It can be written as

,(x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + ..... + x_n) / n

Where x_1 , x_2 , x_3 , ..... ,x_nare the values in the data set

Therefore we can conclude that Ashrita did the best job in calculating the mean of this data set.

Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions. |x - 4| = 5x + 12<br><br> x = []
kykrilka [37]

The solution of the equation is x = -4/3.

<h3>What does it mean to solve an equation?</h3>

An equation represents equality of two or more mathematical expression.

Solutions to an equation are those values of the variables involved in that equation for which the equation is true.

WE have been given an equation as;

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

In an absolute value equation, we solve the original expression as our first equation. Our second one is that we multiply the right side by -1.

Case 1: original equation

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

x - 4 = 5x + 12

x - 5x = 12 + 4

-4x = 16

x = -4

Case 2: Opposite equation

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

x - 4 = - (5x + 12)

x - 4 = - 5x - 12

x + 5x = -12 + 4

6x = -8

x = -4/3

Now we have two solutions. We need to check for extraneous solutions because of all the manipulations;

Check:

|x - 4| = 5x + 12

use x = -4

|-4 - 4| = 5(-4) + 12

| -8 | = -20 + 12

8 = -8              

Thus, it is Not a solution

Now,  |x - 4| = 5x + 12

use x =  -4/3

| -4/3 - 4| = 5( -4/3) + 12

|-16/3 | = -20/3 + 12

|-16/3 | = 16/3

16/3 = 16/3

Thus, it is the  Solution.

Quality control finds on average that 0.026% of the items from a certain factory are detective. One month, 4000 items are checke
telo118 [61]

Given that 4000 items are checked in one month, let the number of detective items be represented as y.

Quality control finds on average that 0.026% of the items in the factory are detective. This implies that

\text{Number of }\det ective\text{ items = }\frac{\text{0.026}}{100}\times\text{Total number of items checked}

When 4000 items are checked, we have the number of detective items to be evaluated as

\begin{gathered} \text{Number of }\det ective\text{ items = }\frac{\text{0.026}}{100}\times\text{Total number of items checked} \\ y=\frac{0.026}{100}\times4000 \\ \Rightarrow y=1.04 \end{gathered}

Hence, the number of detective items is 1.04.
