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.

A group of 2 adults and 4 children spent $38 on tickets to a museum. A group of 3 adults and 3 children spent $40.50 on tickets
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x.

Let the price of 1 child ticket = y.

2x + 4y = 38

3x + 3y = 40.5

Multiply the first equation by 3. Multiply the second equation by -2. Then add them.

         6x + 12y = 114

(+)      -6x - 6y = -81

-----------------------------

                  6y = 33

y = 33/6

y = 5.5

2x + 4y = 38

2x + 4(5.5) = 38

2x + 22 = 38

2x = 16

x = 8

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50

What is the solution to the equation below round your answer to two decimal decimal places log4 x=2.1
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

log4x = 2.1

logx/log4 = 2.1

logx = log(4) x 2.1

logx = 1.264

x = 10^(1.264)

x = 18.38 (to two d.p)
