Answer:

<h2>The mean will also increase</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the mean is a central value that shows a representation of all data set. The mean is the value to which all data set is showing a tendency.

So, if we have a symmetric data set, but we add a very high value, that will affect the mean, making it higher, because the mean is sensible to these changes.

Therefore, the mean will also increase, because the sum of all elements is higher.

Answer: The height of the rectangle is 8 centimeters (cm)

How?

A(rea) = B(ase) × H(eight)

Since the question gives us the formula (A = B × H), area (120 cm), and base (15 cm), it fills in some parts of the equation.

So really:

120 = 15 × H <-- This is the formula, but some parts are filled in

Which can be rearranged as:

H = 120 ÷ 15 <-- Solve this

H = 8

Hope this helps.

A package of 88 batteries costs $ 4 . 724.72 .

Vikki [24]

SOLUTION:

8 batteries = $4.72

1 battery = $0.59

Therefore, the cost of per battery is $0.59.

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AC and DE are parallel lines, then

∠ BAD = ∠ EDF= 2x ( corresponding angles )

The sum of the 3 angles in Δ BAD = 180°, thus

2x + 2x + 72 = 180, that is
