Answer:

The correct answer is a) Mean =13173.6; median is 12765 no mode ; The median is the best choice because it is not skewed by the high outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Arrange the data starting from the smallest to the biggest value. The arranged values are listed here as 11850, 12700,12765,13075,15478.

Step 2

Read the median and determine the mode in this data set.

The median is the value in the center which is 12765. Since every value only appears once, there is no mode for this data set.

Step 3

Calculate the mean of this data set. The mean is calculated by adding up all the values and dividing by the number of distance data available. In this case the data has 5 values, we will divide by 5. This calculation is shown below,

\mu=\frac{11850+12700+12765+13075+15478}{5} =\frac{65868}{5} =13173.6.

The mean for the data set is 13173.6

Step 4

The best measure of central tendency for this data is the median because it is not skewed by the high outlier.  The mean is bigger than 4 of the data points and is skewed by the biggest distance.

A pyramid of volume 344 square units is sliced into two pieces by a plane parallel to the base of the pyramid and 10 units away
Tom [10]

Answer:

80 units

Step-by-step explanation:

v = 1/3 bh

v₁ = 1/3 * b * h₁ = 344

v₂ = 1/3 * b * h₂ = 301

v₁ / v₂ = h₁ / h₂ = 344 / 301

h₂ = h₁ - 10

h₁ / (h₁ - 10) = 344 / 301

344 * (h₁ - 10) = 301 * h₁

344* h₁ - 3440 = 301 * h₁

43 * h₁ = 3440

h₁ = 80

Matt earned $28,500 last year. He paid $8,265 for rent. What percent of his earnings did Matt pay for rent ?
Katena32 [7]

Answer: 29%

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to divide the rent, 8265, by the amount of money he earns.

8265/28500 is .29

Multiply that by 100 to get it in percent form

PLZ HURRY IT'S URGENT!!
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

n + 6 = 7n

Step-by-step explanation:

"The sum of a number and six" would mean the number plus 6: n+6 and "is seven times the number" indicates that it would be equal to the product of 7 for n: 7n. According to this, the answer is that the translation of the sentence into an equation is: n+6=7n.

n − 6 = 7n is not right because the statement says the sum of a number and six.

7(n + 6) = n is not right because the statement indicates that seven multiplies n on the right side as it says seven times the number.

n = 7n + 6 is not right because the statement says the sum of a number and six which would be on the left side and that this would be equal to seven for n.
