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

Please, post just one problem at a time, or (if you post more than one), indicate which one you want to focus on first.  Even more important, please do whatever you can to get started on each problem; I'm sure you know at least some basics.

What does "intersecting" mean?  Look it up if you're not sure.

Then what would "two intersecting lines" look like?  Draw the graph, or at least explain in words what the graph would look like.

Please HELP!! ILL GIVE BRAINLEST! QUCIK PLEASE HELP!!
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

d. linear; $25/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

From looking at the graph, we have that renting for 2 hours costs $50, for 4 hours costs $100, for 6 hours costs $150, and for 8 hours costs $200. To find out whether the quantities described in the table are linear, we have to see if there is a constant rate of change of price.

For hour 2 to hour 4, we can see that the price increases by $50. This is the same for hour 4 to hour 6 and hour 6 to hour 8. For every 2 hour time interval, the price increases by $50. Therefore, there is a constant rate of change and the quantities described in the table are linear.

Now we have to find the constant rate of change per hour. We know that the price increases by $50 every 2 hours, so, by dividing both the hours and price increase by 2, the price increases by $25 per hour. So the constant rate of change is $25/hour.

Linear. $25/hour

Answer choice d.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

The area is just the dimensions multiplied, so multiply 7 by 18 and you get 126.
