Let

x---------> the length of the first piece

y---------> the length of the second piece

z---------> the length of the third piece

we know that

x+y+z=72 -------> equation 1

y=x+6 -----> solve for x

x=y-6 -------> equation 2

z=6+y -------> equation 3

substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1

[y-6]+y+[6+y]=72

3y=72

y=(72/3)=24 in

<u>Find the value of x</u>

x=y-6 -------> equation 2

x=24-6=18 in

<u>Find the value of z</u>

z=6+y -------> equation 3

z=6+24=30 in

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of the first piece is 18 in

the length of the second piece 24 in

the length of the third piece is 30 in

someone please help :( a sample of the amount of rent paid for one-bedroom apartments of similar size near the University of Ore
Volgvan

Answer:

Oregon:

Median: 467.5

Mean: 451.33

Standard Deviation: 113.6

Washington:

median: 380

Mean: 396.6

Standard deviation: 56.3

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the median, we need to organize the price and select the value that is in the middle position.

To calculate the mean, we need to sum all the values and divide them by the number of values

To calculate the standard deviation, we need to square the distances between every price and the mean, sum it all and divide them by the number of values less 1 and finally calculate the square root.

So, for Oregon, the organized values are:

$295, $345, $460, $475, $538, $595

The median is a value between $460 and $475. it is calculated as:

\frac{460+475}{2}=467.5

The mean is:

\frac{295+475+345+595+538+460}{6}=451.33

The standard deviation is:

\sqrt{\frac{(295-451.3)^2+(475-451.3)^2+(345-451.3)^2+(595-451.3)^2+(538-451.3)^2+(460-451.3)^2}{6-1}}=113.6

At the same way, we can calculate the median, mean, and standard deviation for Washington and get:

median: 380

Mean: 396.6

Standard deviation: 56.3

There are 24 hours in 1 day. If you sleep 30% percent of the day how many hours do you sleep
natulia [17]
7.2 hours a day. You get this answer by dividing 24 by 10 because that is 10% which is 2.4, multiply this by three which equals 30% and the answer is 7.2
