The data show the average monthly temperatures for two cities over a 6-month period. City 1: {20, 24, 40, 63, 76, 89} City 2: {4

1, 50, 58, 62, 72, 83} What does the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the data sets tell you about the temperatures over the 6-month period? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly answer the question. The MAD for City 2 is _______ the MAD for City 1, which means the average monthly temperatures of City 2 vary _______ the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

Answer:

The MAD of city 2 is <u>less than</u> the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary <u>less than</u> the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

For comparing the mean absolute deviations of both data sets we have to calculate the mean absolute deviation for both data sets first,

So for city 1:

Mean = x1 = \frac{20+24+40+63+76+89}{6}

x1 = \frac{312}{6}

x1 = 52

Now to calculate the mean deviations mean will be subtracted from each data value. (Note: The minus sign is ignored as the deviation is the distance of value from the mean and it cannot be negative. For this purpose absolute is used)

20-52 = -32=32\\24-52=-28=28\\40-52=-12=12\\63-52=11\\76-52=24\\89-52=37

The deviations will be added then.Mean Absolute Deviation = \frac{32+28+12+11+24+37}{6} \\=\frac{144}{6}\\=24

So the mean absolute deviation for city 1 is 24 ..

For city 2:

Mean = x2 = \frac{41+50+58+62+72+83}{6}

x2 = \frac{366}{6}

x2 = 61

Now to calculate the mean deviations mean will be subtracted from each data value. (Note: The minus sign is ignored)

41-61=-20=20\\50-61=-11=11\\58-61=-3=3\\62-61=1\\72-61=11\\83-61=22

The deviations will be added then.Mean Absolute Deviation = \frac{20+11+3+1+11+22}{6} \\=\frac{68}{6}\\=11.33

So the MAD for city 2 is 11.33 ..

So,

The MAD of city 2 is <u>less than</u> the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary <u>less than</u> the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

Answer:

The MAD for City 2 is less than the MAD for City 1, which means the average monthly temperatures of City 2 vary less than the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data sets are

City 1 : {20, 24, 40, 63, 76, 89}

City 2 : {41, 50, 58, 62, 72, 83}

Formula for mean:

Mean=\frac{\sum x}{n}

Mean of city 1 is

Mean=\frac{20+24+40+63+76+89}{6}=52

Mean of city 2 is

Mean=\frac{41+50+58+62+72+83}{6}=61

Formula for mean absolute deviation:

MAD=\dfrac{\sum |x-\mu|}{n}

where, μ is the mean of data.

MAD for City 1:

MAD=\dfrac{|20-52|+|24-52|+|40-52|+|63-52|+|76-52|+|89-52|}{6}

MAD=24

MAD for City 2

MAD=\frac{\left|41-61\right|+\left|50-61\right|+\left|58-61\right|+\left|62-61\right|+\left|72-61\right|+\left|83-61\right|}{6}

MAD=\approx 11.33

From the above calculation we get 24 > 11.33 or MAD of city 1 > MAD of city 2.

The MAD for City 2 is less than the MAD for City 1, which means the average monthly temperatures of City 2 vary less than the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

Which value or in the solution set of the inequality − 2/3 x + 13 ≥ − 1
Svetach [21]

Answer:

x\leq21

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2/3)x+13≥ -1

    (-2/3)x≥ -14 (I subtracted by 13 on both sides)

             x\leq-14*(-3/2) (I divided by -2/3 on both sides)

             x\leq21

Use the law of Sines to find the missing angle of the triangle. <br> Find m
Whitepunk [10]
Ah...Trigonometry is fun!

The law of sines states:
\frac{sinA}{a}= \frac{sinB}{b} = \frac{sinC}{c}
The transitive property (switching the orders of the equations) applies here. Therfore, we can say that \frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinC}{c}

We then plug in our given values to find C

\frac{sin24}{77}=\frac{sinC}{162}
\frac{162*sin24}{77}=sinC
Solving, we get 0.8557316387. We're not done yet!

We are trying to find an angle measure, so we'll do the inverse of the ratio we used (sin).

arcsin0.8557316387 (arcsin is the same as inverse sin)
=58.8 (approximate)

So the measure of angle C is 58.8. You could check this by reinserting it into the equation \frac{sinA}{a}= \frac{sinB}{b} = \frac{sinC}{c}.
