If the mean if these numbers is 9 what is x ? 16,3,x,5

1 answer:

5 0

The mean is the average number meaning that it is all the numbers in a set added together and divided by how many number are in the set. In this case there are 4 numbers (16, 3, whatever number x is, and 5). So, to find out what x is, first you multiple 4 by the known mean which is 9.
4 x 9 = 36
Then you simply subtract 36 from all the known numbers to find x.
36 - 16 - 5 - 3 = 12
So x = 12

1. The price of gas has increased over time due to inflation and other factors.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation representing the price of gas for the years after 2000 is expressed as

y = 1.26(1.10)^x

Where x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 represent these years : 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010, the table would be

1) x = 0(2000)

y = 1.26(1.10)^0

y = 1.3

2) x = 2(2002)

y = 1.26(1.10)^2

y = 1.5

3) x = 4(2004)

y = 1.26(1.10)^4

y = 1.8

4) x = 6(2004)

y = 1.26(1.10)^6

y = 2.2

5) x = 8(2006)

y = 1.26(1.10)^8

y = 2.7

6) x = 10(2008)

y = 1.26(1.10)^10

y = 3.3

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Part 1) $-17\frac{8}{9}$ -----> $-6\frac{4}{9}-3\frac{2}{9}-8\frac{2}{9}$

Part 2) $-15.11$ ------> $-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62$

Part 3) $-19\frac{8}{9}$ -----> $-19\frac{2}{9}-4\frac{1}{9}-(-3\frac{4}{9})$

Part 4) $-201.65$ -----> $-353.92-(-283.56)-131.29$

Part 5) $74$ ------> $83\frac{1}{5}-108\frac{2}{5}-(-99\frac{1}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$-6\frac{4}{9}-3\frac{2}{9}-8\frac{2}{9}$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$6\frac{4}{9}=\frac{6*9+4}{9}=\frac{58}{9}$

$3\frac{2}{9}=\frac{3*9+2}{9}=\frac{29}{9}$

$8\frac{2}{9}=\frac{8*9+2}{9}=\frac{74}{9}$

substitute

$-\frac{58}{9}-\frac{29}{9}-\frac{74}{9}=-\frac{(58+29+74)}{9}=-\frac{161}{9}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{161}{9}=-(\frac{153}{9}+\frac{8}{9})=-17\frac{8}{9}$

Part 2) we have

$-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62$

To calculate the subtraction eliminate the parenthesis first

$-12.48-(-2.99)-5.62=-12.48+2.99-5.62=-15.11$

Part 3) we have

$-19\frac{2}{9}-4\frac{1}{9}-(-3\frac{4}{9})$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$19\frac{2}{9}=\frac{19*9+2}{9}=\frac{173}{9}$

$4\frac{1}{9}=\frac{4*9+1}{9}=\frac{37}{9}$

$3\frac{4}{9}=\frac{3*9+4}{9}=\frac{31}{9}$

substitute

$-\frac{173}{9}-\frac{37}{9}-(-\frac{31}{9})$

Eliminate the parenthesis

$-\frac{173}{9}-\frac{37}{9}+\frac{31}{9}=\frac{(-173-37+31)}{9}=-\frac{179}{9}$

Convert to mixed number

$-\frac{179}{9}=-(\frac{171}{9}+\frac{8}{9})=-19\frac{8}{9}$

Part 4) we have

$-353.92-(-283.56)-131.29$

To calculate the subtraction eliminate the parenthesis first

$-353.92+283.56-131.29=-201.65$

Part 5) we have

$83\frac{1}{5}-108\frac{2}{5}-(-99\frac{1}{5})$

To calculate the subtraction convert the mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$83\frac{1}{5}=\frac{83*5+1}{5}=\frac{416}{5}$

$108\frac{2}{5}=\frac{108*5+2}{5}=\frac{542}{5}$

$99\frac{1}{5}=\frac{99*5+1}{5}=\frac{496}{5}$

substitute

$\frac{416}{5}-\frac{542}{5}-(-\frac{496}{5})$

Eliminate the parenthesis

$\frac{416}{5}-\frac{542}{5}+\frac{496}{5}=\frac{(416-542+496)}{5}=\frac{370}{5}=74$

G two samples, one of size 14 and the second of size 13, are selected to test the difference between two population means. how m

vovikov84 [41]

Note :- If sample size n > 30 OR Population standard deviation σ is given then We use Z test.

If sample size n < 30 AND Population standard deviation σ is unknown then we use t test.

In this question we are not given Population standard deviations σ1 and σ2.

Also n1 = 14 and n2 = 13 both sample sizes are LESS than 30.

Therefore we use t test.

Given :- Assume the population standard deviations are equal. ( σ1 = σ2)

then Degrees of freedom = n1 + n2 - 2 = 14 + 13 - 2 = 25.

(kindly find the image attached with this solution)

Answer :- Therefore 25 degrees of freedom are used to find the t critical value.
