Using their concepts concept, we have that:

a) The mean of the data-set is of 81.6.

b) The median of the data-set is of 80.

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>.

In this problem, there are 2 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 9 = 28 observations, hence the mean is:

M = (70 x 2 + 75 x 8 + 80 x 6 + 85 x 3 + 90 x 9)/28 = 81.6.

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

The median of a data-set is the 50th percentile, the value that separates the median in two halfs.

This data-set has an even number of elements, hence the median is the mean of the 14th and 15th elements, as 28/2 = 14. Both elements are 80, hence the median is of 80.

Answer:

C. 40.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

The bases are the parallel sides, 4.5 cm and 9 cm. The height is the perpendicular distance between them, 6 cm. Filling in these numbers, we have ...

A = (1/2)(4.5 +9)(6) = 40.5 . . . cm²

You run one lap around a mile track every 8 minutes. Your friend runs around the same track every 10 minutes. You both start at

Ber [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first runs n+1 laps

and second runs n laps in the same time.

so (n+1)8=10n

10n=8n+8

10n-8n=8

2n=8

n=8/2=4

one lap=1 mile

4 laps=4 miles

4+1=5 laps=5 miles.

first runs 5 miles whereas second runs=4 miles.

at maximum speed, an airplane travels 1720 miles against th wind in 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the same

iragen [17]

Answer:

x = 387

Step-by-step explanation:

The wind acts in the opposite direction to the plane when the time is longer.

The wind acts in the same direction as the plane when the time is shorter.

Equation

d = r*t

Givens

d = 1720
x = plane's speed
y = wind speed
t1 = 5 hours
t2 = 4 hours.

Substitution

d = (x + y) * t
1720 = (x + y) * 4
1720 = (x - y) * 5

Since the two distances are the same, you can equate the right hand sides.

(x + y) * 4 = (x - y)*5 Remove the brackets.
4x + 4y = 5x - 5y Add 5y to both sides
4x + 4y + 5y = 5x - 5y + 5y Combine all the terms.
4x + 9y = 5x Subtract 4x from both sides
9y + 4x - 4x = 5x - 4x Combine
9y = x

Now use one of the given equations with the distance

1720 = (x + y)*4 Substitute 9y for x
1720 = (9y + y) * 4 Combine
1720 = 10y * 4 Multiply the right
1720 = 40y Divide by 40
1720/40 = 40y/40 Do the division
43 = y y = wind speek
9y = x x = 9*y
9*43 = x
x = 387 miles per hour.

Which of the following graphs shows the solution set for the inequality below? 3|x + 1| < 9

Bas_tet [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function is a well known piecewise function (a function defined by multiple subfunctions) that is described mathematically as

$f(x) \ = \ |x| \ = \ \left\{\left\begin{array}{ccc}x, \ \text{if} \ x \ \geq \ 0 \\ \\ -x, \ \text{if} \ x \ < \ 0\end{array}\right\}$ .

This definition of the absolute function can be explained geometrically to be similar to the straight line $\textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}$ , however, when the value of x is negative, the range of the function remains positive. In other words, the segment of the line $\textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}$ where $\textbf{\textit{x}} \ < \ 0$ (shown as the orange dotted line), the segment of the line is reflected across the <em>x</em>-axis.

First, we simplify the expression.

$3\left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 9 \\ \\ \\\-\hspace{0.2cm} \left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3$ .

We, now, can simply visualise the straight line, $y \ = \ x \ + \ 1$ , as a line having its y-intercept at the point $(0, \ 1)$ and its <em>x</em>-intercept at the point $(-1, \ 0)$ . Then, imagine that the segment of the line where $x \ < \ 0$ to be reflected along the <em>x</em>-axis, and you get the graph of the absolute function $y \ = \ \left|x \ + \ 1 \right|$ .

Consider the inequality

$\left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3$ ,

this statement can actually be conceptualise as the question

$``\text{For what \textbf{values of \textit{x}} will the absolute function \textbf{be less than 3}}"$ .

Algebraically, we can solve this inequality by breaking the function into two different subfunctions (according to the definition above).

Case 1 (when $x \ \geq \ 0$ )

$x \ + \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 3 \ - \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 2$

Case 2 (when $x \ < \ 0$ )

$-(x \ + \ 1) \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.15cm} -x \ - \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 3 \ + \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 4 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1.5cm} x \ > \ -4$

*remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by

negative numbers on both sides of the statement.

Therefore, the values of <em>x</em> that satisfy this inequality lie within the interval

$-4 \ < \ x \ < \ 2$ .

Similarly, on the real number line, the interval is shown below.

The use of open circles (as in the graph) indicates that the interval highlighted on the number line does not include its boundary value (-4 and 2) since the inequality is expressed as "less than", but not "less than or equal to". Contrastingly, close circles (circles that are coloured) show the inclusivity of the boundary values of the inequality.
