points E,F and G are plotted on a number line at -1, 2 and 6 respectively. Find the coordinate o f the point that represents the

weighted average of E, F and G, if point E weighs twice as much as point F and point G weighs three times as much as point F.

Answer:  3 is the weighted average

Step-by-step explanation:

A weighted average is sort of like it sounds. - Different data-points are given different weights as far as how much they affect the answer. It's like you had 4 people on a corporation's board and all four get to vote, but their votes count differently. Person A has a vote that counts as 3. Person B has a vote that counts as 2 votes. Persons C & D each have a vote that counts as just one vote. For peron A to get outvoted, all the others must gang up against him.

Okay, back to our actual problem ...

  • point E measures (-1) and has weight 2x weight of F
  • point F has a measure of 2 and no particular stated weight
  • point G measures 6 and has a weight of 3x weight of F

Since we can assign a weight to point F and the other weights will be based on that, let's just keep it simple and give point F a weight of 1.

That gives E a weight of 2, and G a weight of 3.

So, ...

E value times E weight is   (-1)   x   2 = -2

F value times F weight is      2   x   1 =   2

G value times G weight is   6   x   3 = 18

          Sum of (value x weight)  =  18

          Sum of the weights = 2 + 1 + 3 = 6

WE get the weighted average by taking the sum of (value x weight) products (18) and then dividing by the sum of the weights (6).

18/6 = 3, the weighted average

The point at coordinate 3 represents the weighted average.

PLS HELP ASAP PLZ PLZ PLZ
KIM [24]
I am unsure about the very last problem but I can help with the first two

1) (y+1)+4

If we combine the numbers 1 and 4, we get +5 and can isolate the numbers from the variable.

This would give us

y + 5 =

2) (6*r)*7

remember that we do not have to explicitly state 6*r

Instead, we can write it as 6r

this helps us get rid of the parentheses

now we can write it as 6r * 7=

I hope this helps!:)

Find the slope of 9x=3y+5
qaws [65]
<u>9x</u> = <u>3y + 5</u>
 9         9
x = 1/3y + 5/9
x - 5/9 = 1/3y + 5/9 - 5/9
x - 5/9 = 1/3y
3(x - 5/9) = 1/3y · 3
3x - 1 2/3 = y
y = 3x - 1 2/3
