Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Plug in one of the points.
y = 8x + b
6 = 8(4) + b
2.) Solve for b (or [?])
32 cancels out on the right side.
Subtract 32 from 6, which is -26
3.) -26 = b
4.) Check with other point:
-2 = 8(3) + b
-2 = 24 + b
Cancel out 24 on the right side: 24-24 = 0
-2 - 24 = -26
-26 = b
Answer:
The correct options are;
B) The mean and median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies
B) Since the security company appear to have collected lower revenue than other companies, there is some evidence of stealing by the security company's employees
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the acronym SC for the security company and OC for the other company
SC OC
1.6 1.5
1.8 2.1
1.6 1.9
1.8 2.2
1.7 1.9
1.2 1.7
1.1 2.1
1.2 2.2
1.2 2.2
1.5 1.8
∑x 14.7 19.6
The mean is given by ∑x/n
n = 10
SC OC
∴ Mean 1.47 1.96
The median is the
Hence
SC OC
Median 1.55 2
Therefore, the mean and median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies.
b) Since the security company appear to have collected lower revenue than other companies, there is some evidence of stealing by the security company's employees.
