The following list contains the average annual total returns (in percentage points) for 9 mutual funds. The mutual funds appear
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Mean =25.78

Median =20

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the following list contains the average annual total returns (in percentage points) for 9 mutual funds. The mutual funds appear in an online brokerage firm's "all-star" list.

40, 30, 6, 10, 30, 18, 15, 20, 36

Let us find the sum of these 9 entries

Sum = 205

a) Mean = \frac{205}{9} =22.78

b) Median of this data set is the middle entry after arranging in ascending order

Here it would be the 5th entry

6,10, 15, 18,20, 30, 30, 36, 40

Median = 20

Algebra 1 question 4.
Brrunno [24]

Greetings!

To start this problem, let's first assign a variable for the missing, consecutive odd numbers. Since they are consecutive and odd, we add two.

<u>Proof:</u> <em>3-1=2, 5-3=2</em>

The first, consecutive, odd number: x

The second, consecutive, odd number: x+2

The third, consecutive, odd number: x+4

The fourth, consecutive, odd number: x+6

The sum of the values are equal to 3 times the sum of the first two numbers, of which this is equal to 35 less than the fourth number. Let's create an equation to simplify this:

3((x)+(x+2))=(x+6)-35

Complete the operations inside the parenthesis:

3(2x+2)=(x+6)-35

Distribute the parenthesis (utilizing the distributive property)

(((2x)(3))+((2)(3)))=(x+6)-35

(6x+6)=(x+6)-35

Simplify both sides:

6x+6=x-29

Add -6 and -x to both sides of the equation:

(6x+6)+(-6)+(-x)=(x-29)+(-6)+(-x)

5x=-35

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-35}{5}

x=-7

If x is equal to -7:

x+2=-5

x+4=-3

x+6=-1

The four numbers are:

\boxed{-7,-5,-3,-1}

I hope this helps!

How did the π invented?​
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius, which gave a value of pi = 3.  The first calculation of π was done by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world.

Teresa says that the 3 most frequent measurements in order from shortest to longest are 3 1/4 inches,3 2/4 inches,and 3 3/4 inch
Blizzard [7]

Answer: We agreed with this.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

3\dfrac{1}{4}\ inches,\ 3\dfrac{2}{4}\ inches,\ 3\dfrac{3}{4}\ inches

As we know that

3\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{13}{4}\ inches

3\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{14}{4}\ inches

3\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{15}{4}\ inches

So, \dfrac{13}{4}

Hence, we agreed with this.
