The mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger is 5.83

<h3>What is the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Children

Mean = 5.6 cm

Frequency = 5

Adult

Mean = 6.2 cm

Frequency = 3

The mean length of these 8 people's index finger is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

So, we have

Mean = (5.6 * 5 + 6.2 * 3)/(5 + 3)

Evaluate

Mean = 5.83

Hence, the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger is 5.83

Drag the correct steps into order to solve the equation 5x5 + 5 = 10 for x

jeka94

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x^5 + 5 = 10

Start the solution by subtracting 5 from both sides:

5x^5 = 5

Dividing both sides by 5 yields x^5 = 1.

Taking the 5th root of both sides, we get x = 1

The weight of a person on or above the surface of the earth varies inversely as the square of the distance the person is from th

bazaltina [42]

$\bf \qquad \textit{ inverse proportional variation}\\\\\\
\begin{array}{llllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies inversely to}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{some value}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{\textit{something else}}\\ \quad \\
y&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{k}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{x}

&&y=\cfrac{{{ k}}}{x}
\end{array}$

"The weight of a person on or above the surface of the earth varies inversely as the square of the distance the person is from the center of the earth"

namely "w" varies inversely to $\bf d^2$ or $\bf w=\cfrac{k}{d^2}$

then
"A particular person weighs 192 pounds on the surface of the earth and the radius of the earth is 3900 miles. "
namely when w = 192, d = 3900

so $\bf w=\cfrac{k}{d^2}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
w=192\\
d=3900
\end{cases}\implies 192=\cfrac{k}{3900^2}
\\\\\\
\textit{solve for "k", to find the}\\
\textit{"constant of variation"}\\
\textit{once you've found it, plug it back in at }w=\cfrac{k}{d^2}$
