Answer:

Dispersion

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a set of scores {a1, a2, ..., an} ordered in value, the range can be described as the difference between the highest and the lowest value. We can write it as:

range = an - a1

Thus, the range provides information about the dispersion of our set of values. A high range means that the highest and the lowest value are highly separated, on the other hand, a low range mean that there is a little difference between those values.

This is usually used to measure dispersion on a set of values, together with standard deviation and interquantile range. However, we cannot maintain that one is better than the others.

Distribute and simplify the expression 3(x + 4) + 2(5 - x)

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

=x+22

-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

3(x+4)+2(5−x)

Distribute:

=(3)(x)+(3)(4)+(2)(5)+(2)(−x)

=3x+12+10+−2x

Combine Like Terms:

=3x+12+10+−2x

=(3x+−2x)+(12+10)

=x+22

What are the coordinates of the y-intercept of the line who's equation is 12x + 13y =8???

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

y-intercept = (0, $\frac{8}{13}$ ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation in standard form, 12x + 13y = 8:

We must transform this equation into slope-intercept form to make it easier to determine the coordinates of the y-intercept.

12x + 13y = 8

Subtract 12x from both sides:

12x + 13y - 12x = - 12x + 8

13y = - 12x + 8

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 13 to solve for y:

$\frac{13y}{13} = \frac{-12x + 8}{13}$

$y = \frac{-12x + 8}{13}$ or $y = -\frac{12}{13} x + \frac{8}{13}$

Next, to determine the y-intercept, we must set x = 0 (because the y-intercept is the point where the graph of the linear equation crosses the y-axis).

Let x = 0:

$y = -\frac{12}{13} x + \frac{8}{13}$

$y = -\frac{12}{13} (0) + \frac{8}{13}$

$y = \frac{8}{13}$

Therefore, the value of y when x = 0 is $\frac{8}{13}$ . This is the y-intercept, and its coordinate is (0, $\frac{8}{13}$ ).
