Using the mean concept, it is found that the value of the number that was removed was of 4.

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

The mean of a data-set is given by the <u>sum of all observations in the data-set divided by the number of observations</u>.

The mean of five numbers is 8, hence, the sum of the numbers is given by:

S = 5 x 8 = 40.

If one of the five numbers is removed, the mean becomes 9, hence, the sum of the four numbers is given by:

S = 4 x 9 = 36.

The difference is:

40 - 36 = 4.

Hence, the value of the number that was removed was of 4.

Do these basic math problems please
Brut [27]

Answer:

.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) 72 ÷ 8 × 9 = 81 (we divide 72 by 8 first then multiply the result with 9)

b.) -72 ÷ 8 × 9 = -81 (it's same with a only differ by negative sign)

c.) 72 ÷ (-8) × 9 = -81 (dividing 72 by -8 will give us -9 and multiplying -9 by -9 will give the result of -81)

d.) 72 ÷ 8 × (-9) = -81 (divide 72 by 8 and it will be 9, mutliply it by -9 and again it will give -81)

e.) -72 ÷ 8 × (-9) = 81 (divide -72 by 8 and it will be -9 multiplying it by -9 will give a positive 81 since two negative signed numbers multiplied or divided gives positive result)

<h3>Answer: Choice E</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Think of 25 as 25/1 and 5 as 5/1

Choice E is really saying \frac{25}{1} \div \frac{5}{1} which becomes \frac{25}{1} \times \frac{1}{5}. Note the second fraction flips and we change to a multiplication sign.

------------

Or you could think of it like this:

25 \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{25}{1} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{25*1}{1*5} = \frac{25}{5} = 25 \div 5

to help see why the answer is E.

If you wanted to find the mean height of students in an elementary school,
Kryger [21]

It is not possible to select a single group from the primary school, since being a single group it could not in any way represent the entire primary school.

Choosing a group would provide the average height for that group, not the entire primary.

Assumptions can be made that the course of half of the primary would theoretically give us a more accurate representation, but the objective is to select a number of students from each course and there would be a representative sample of the entire primary.
