Answer:

below

Step-by-step explanation:

mean : 8.8

The mean is the average, so you find it by adding all the numbers together and dividing by n, or how many numbers there are. For this, I added to get 70.4 and divided that by 8 (8 total scores).

70.4/8 = 8.8.

median : 8.85

The median is the middle of the data set, so you put the numbers in increasing order (lowest number to highest number) and then finding the middle of that set. For this set, since there is an even number of numbers (8), you have to find the middle by adding the two middle numbers and dividing by 2.

8.2, 8.7, 8.8, 8.8, 8.9, 8.9, 8.9, 9.2

The middle numbers are 8.8 and 8.9, so you add those together and divide by 2 to get 8.85.

mode : 8.9

The mode is just what number appears most often. Because 8.9 appears three times in this data set, more than any other number, the mode is 8.9.

b. The mean reflects a typical score because it is the average, and is used most often when someone is expressing a typical or "average" score. It is the score most people are likely to get, and as there are no outliers in this data set, it reflects a typical score for this data set. It is also the same as the mode, or most often score, in this data set.

1) Put the numbers in order

8.2, 8.7, 8.8, 8.8, 8.9, 8.9, 8.9, 9.2

2) mean is average

70.4/8 = 8.8

3) Median is the middle number; if m = 2, then divide them by 2

17.7/2 = 8.85

4) Mode is most often

8.9 (3 times)

I'm guessing you are asking what a number raised to the third power would be called, in that case it'd be called cubed :)

Margaret uses a credit card with a 21.7% APR compounded monthly to pay for her car repairs totaling $692.77. She can pay $290 pe

igomit [66]

Answer:

B. $715.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, Margaret makes her first payment after she has incurred a finance charge on the amount.

At the end of the first month, the balance due is ...

... 692.77×(1 + 0.217/12) = 705.30

At the end of the second month, the balance due is ...

... (705.30 -290)×(1 +0.217/12) = 422.81

At the end of the third month, the balance due is ...

... (422.81 -290)×(1 +0.217/12) = 132.81

Margaret makes total payments of $290×2 +132.81 = $712.81

Of the choices listed, the best selection is ...

... B. $715.21

_____

<em>Comment on the answer choice</em>

The total $715.21 seems to also include a finance charge on the final payment amount. (It actually includes a charge on $132.72, which is slightly different from the final payment amount.) There will not be any such charge, so the <em>available answer choices are all in error</em>.

Actually, we expect the total cost to be closer to $702.25, because we expect that Margaret will make her first payment before any finance charges are incurred.

You should ask your teacher to show you in detail how to work this problem.

Answer:

1) x=10

2) x=6

3) x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 15x-17+4x+7=180

19x-10=180

19x=190

x=10

2) 13x+5=16x-13

5+13=16x-13x

18=3x

x=6

3) 9x+7=11x-19

7+19=11x-9x

26=2x

x=13

After 200 feet of drilling on the first well, a soil test is taken. The probabilities of finding the particular type of soil ide

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The revised probabilities are;

The probability of finding soil with oil = 0.8

The probability of finding soil with good oil = 0.16

The probability of finding medium quality oil = 0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

The given probability of finding soil with high quality oil, P(QO) = 0.20

The probability of finding soil with medium-quality oil, P(OM) = 0.80

The probability of finding soil with no oil, P(ON) = 0.2

Therefore, given that the probability of finding soil with no oil = 0.2, we have;

The probability of finding soil with oil, P(OP) = 1 - the probability of finding soil with no oil

P(OP) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

Which gives;

The probability, P(FG) of finding soil with oil and that the oil is good is given as follows;

P(FG) = P(QO) × P(OP) = 0.2 × 0.8 = 0.16

The probability of finding good oil = 0.16

Similarly;

The probability of finding medium quality oil P(FM) = P(OM) × P(OP) = 0.8 × 0.8 = 0.64

Which gives the revised probability as follows;

The probability of finding soil with oil, P(OP) = 0.8

The probability of finding soil with good oil, P(FG) = 0.16

The probability of finding medium quality oil, P(FM) = 0.64.
