Answer:

boys = 250

girls = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

5g = 3b       eq. 1

g + b = 400       eq. 2

g = girls

b = boys

From the eq. 2

g = 400 - b

Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:

5(400-b) = 3b

5*400 + 5*-b = 3b

2000 - 5b = 3b

2000 = 3b + 5b

2000 = 8b

2000/8 = b

250 = b

From eq. 2

g + 250 = 400

g = 400 - 250

g = 150

Check:

from eq. 1

5*150 = 3*250  = 750

Suppose the scores of seven members of a women’s golf team are 68, 62, 60, 64, 70, 66, and 72. Find the mean, median, and midran
Ksenya-84 [330]

The mean, median, and midrange of the given that are 66, 66 and 66 respectively.

Option D) Mean = 66, median = 66, midrange = 66 is the correct answer.

<h3>What is the mean, median, and midrange?</h3>

Mean is the sum total of the number divided by number of terms

Median is the middle number when arranged in ascending or descending order.

Midrange is the average of the sum of the maximum number and the minimum number.

Given that;

  • Data set: 68, 62, 60, 64, 70, 66, and 72
  • n = 7

First, we arrange in ascending order.

60, 62. 64, 66, 68, 70, 72

Mean = ( 60 + 62 + 64 + 66 + 68 + 70 + 72 ) / 7

Mean = 462 / 7

Mean = 66

Median = 66

66 is the middle number.

Range = ( Max + Min ) / 2

Range = ( 72 + 60 ) / 2

Range = 132 / 2

Range = 66

Therefore, the mean, median, and midrange of the given that are 66, 66 and 66 respectively.

Option D) Mean = 66, median = 66, midrange = 66 is the correct answer.
