I cannot understand this can you guys help

The mean is not the same thing as median
mean=78+81+85+87=331
mean=331/4=82.75
median is the middle number, but you have a par set of numbers, so your median will be the middle numbers 78,81,85,87 , which are 81+85=166, 166/2=83
83 is your median

Product of 7.69×5 be greater or less than its estimate of 8×5?
spayn [35]

The product is a bit less than the estimate. In fact, 7.69 is less than 8, and if you start with an equality, i.e.

7.69 < 8

you can multiply both sides by a positive number, and the inequality will still hold:

7.69 \cdot 5 < 8 \cdot 5

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

y - 1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Equation of a line is given by,

y - y₁ / x - x₁ = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

Let A(-2,1) and B(2,1)

x₁ = -2 ; x₂ = 2 ; y₁ = 1 ; y₂ = 1

Substituting the values,

y - 1 / x - (-2) = 1 - 1 / 2 - (-2)

y - 1 / x + 2 = 0

y - 1 = 0
