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.

The difference between the 2 different temperatures.
The key word difference refers to subtraction.
So 18 - ( - 13 )
Subtracting a negative is the same as adding the positive.
So 18 + 13

Help please ASAP!!!!

The answer would be 65.9%. Add both paper numbers together (26.5+51.3) which is to 77.8.. to find paper not recycled just put 51.3/77.8 which would be 0.659 as a decimal.. move the decimal over to the right twice and that'd be your percentage.
