Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the mean
9+12+10+15+15+15+10+x/8=12
divide 86+x/8=12
multiply both sides by 8
86+x=96
sub 86 from both sides
x=10
hope this helps
If the speed of the stream is x
Time is given by d/r , where r is the rate and d is the distance;
Rate for upstream = (15-x) mph and that of down stream is (15 +x) mph
The time taken will be the same;
Thus; 2/(15-x) = 4/(15+x)
cross multiplying;
30 +2x = 60 -4x
6x = 30
x =5
Therefore the rate of the river is 5 mph
It would be Kellen's pumpkin because :
Jermaine = 42.009
Kim = 42.19
Kellen = 42.9
And after the 9 in 42.9 there is a 0, so: 42.90
And by comparing that to the other people's pumpkins you can see that Kellen's was the heaviest
Answer: b. It's a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.
The number of students is same as the number of the sides of the dice. In this scenario, the school principal will roll two dices three times and the number that repeated most will be chosen. For every dice, all number will have equally likely possibility so the randomization is fair(1/6 chance for every student).Rolling the dice >1 times will have a problem because there is a high chance to get draw result. It doesn't have any correlation with fairness though.
