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.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay first we must simplify the expression.

so this:(3x^2 + x-2)(x - 5)

becomes this:3x^3-14x^2-7x+10

then we look at the coefficient of x^2 and we see that it's -14

Answer:

y = -3 when x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-4y = 20

x = 4

2(4) - 4y = 20

8 - 4y = 20

-4y = 12

y = -3

In a casino, the chance of winning a certain game is 14.5%. If you play the game 20 times, what’s your best estimate for the num
EleoNora [17]
Expected number of wins=number of plays times the probability of winning

w=20(14.5/100)

w=20(0.145)

w=2.9

w≈3 

So you would expect to win 3 times out of 20 attempts (rounded to the nearest whole number of wins)
