Using it's concept, it is found that the mean absolute deviation of 2.8 means that the heights differ from the mean by an average of 2.8 inches.

<h3>What is the mean absolute deviation of a data-set?</h3>

  • The mean of a data-set is given by the sum of all observations divided by the number of observations.
  • The mean absolute deviation of a data-set is the sum of the absolute value of the difference between each observation and the mean, divided by the number of observations.
  • The mean absolute deviation represents the average by which the values differ from the mean.

In this problem, the mean is given by:

M = (65 + 58 + 64 + 61 + 67)/5 = 63.

Hence the mean absolute deviation is given by:

MAD = (|65-63| + |58-63| + |64-63| + |61-63| + |67-63|)/5 = 14/5 = 2.8.

The mean absolute deviation of 2.8 means that the heights differ from the mean by an average of 2.8 inches.

The sum of three consecutive even integers is -78, what are the integers ?
Digiron [165]
First, you need to analize and understand the problem, then you must choose and strategy. There is a wide variety of strategies to solve a mathematical problem, in this case, you can use the following, which is based on the information given above:
 1. You have that t<span>he sum of three consecutive even integers is </span>-78<span>, therefore, you can given the variable </span>x&#10;<span> to the first integer, the second even integer is </span>x+2<span> and the third one is </span>x+4&#10;<span>.
 2. Calculate x:
 </span>x+(x+2)+(x+4)=-78<span>
 </span>3x+6=-78
<span> </span>x=-28&#10;<span>
 </span>x+2=-28+2=-26&#10;<span>
 </span>x+4=-28+4=-24&#10;<span>
 Therefore, the answer is:</span>-28,-26,-24&#10;

Mike travels 13 miles per 2 hours on his bike.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

It took Markus half an hour to drive home from work.  He averaged 34 miles per hour.  How far does Markus live from his work?

Solution

We are given that it takes 1/2 an hour for the trip.  This is a time:

       t  =  1/2

We are given that he averages 34 miles per hour.  This is a rate:

       r  =  34

We are asked how few he has traveled.  This is a distance.  We use the d=rt equation:

       d  =  rt

           =  (34)(1/2)

           =  17

Markus lives 17 miles from work.

Now try one by yourself.  If you want to see the answer, put your mouse on the yellow rectangle and the answer will appear.
