Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The MAD is a measure of variability. Find the mean of the data set. Find the distance from the mean for each data value. Find a means of the distances.

Mean Absolute Deviation is a quantity of measurement that gives you an idea how far, on average, are the data points deviating from the mean. Its equation is

MAD = ∑|x - μ| /  N, where

x is a single data point
μ is the mean of the data set
N is the total number of data points

Suppose, a data set consist of the following: 4, 7, 5, 9, 6, 7, 7, 4. Let's solve first for the mean:

μ = (4+7+5+9+6+7+7+4)/8 = 6.125

Then, the MAD is equal to:

MAD = (|4 - 6.125| + |7 - 6.125| +|5 - 6.125| +|9 - 6.125| +|6 - 6.125| +|7 - 6.125| +|7 - 6.125| +|4 - 6.125|) ÷ 8
MAD = 11/8
MAD = 1.375

Write an inequality to represent the product of x and 7 is at least 15
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

7x\geq 15

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem lays out pretty clearly what needs to be done.

First, we know that we are writing an inequality.

Then, it tells us that we need 'the product of x and 7'. A product is the result of multiplication, so we can multiply 7 and x together to get 7x.

Next, it tells us that the product (7x) is at least 15. At least means that the product has to greater than or equal to 15. That clue tells us which inequality symbol will be used.  

Put it all together and:

7x\geq 15

Hope this helped!

The lateral area is the area of all the sides except the base. So you find the area of the triangles (16), then the left rectangle (80), then the right rectangle (90). Finally you add them together.
16+16+80+90=202
