HELP; The life spans of 10 adult mayflies have a mean of 4 hours and a MAD of 2 hours. Fill in the table below with possible val

Step-by-step answer:

Assuming MAD stands for mean absolute deviation (2 hours), then the total absolute deviation from the mean (4 hours) is 10*2=20 hours.

If one of the flies live for 1 full day, the absolute deviation is 24-4=20 hours.  This automatically requires the other flies live exactly 4 hours to have the MAD equal to 20 hours.  

However, the above arrangement does not give a mean of 4 hours, but a mean of (24+9*4)/10=6 hours. This means that it is not possible to have a fly living for a full day.

Which are solutions of the equation x^2- 16 = 0? Check all that apply
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

x= -4

x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic equation, and can be solved very quickly since it only has two terms, the square one and the free term.

Hence the solutions is obtained following the steps from below:

x2-16=0

Lets sum to both side 16

x2-16=0+16

x2=16

Now, lets apply square root to whole equation:

\sqrt{x^{2} }=\sqrt{16}

x=|4|

The bars means that x can be-4 o 4, since -4^2=16 and 4^2=16
