Answer:

median = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value of a data set arranged in ascending order. If there is not a middle value then the median is the average value of the numbers either side of the middle.

Data in ascending order is

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

The median is between 17 and 18, hence

median = \frac{17+18}{2} = 17.5

Answer:

<h2>17.5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the value that separates the higher half from the bottom half of the data sample (middle value).

We have

15, 8, 19, 21, 18, 17

Write from the smallest to the largest number

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

We have an even number of numbers. Therefore we calculate the arithmetic mean of the two middle numbers:

8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

(17 + 18) : 2 = 35 : 2 = 17.5

the area of a rectangular field is x^2-x-72 m^2. The length of the field is x+8 cm. What is the width of the field meters.
Gre4nikov [31]
Hello,


A(x)=x²-x-72 (m²)
L=(x+8) (cm)= (x+8)/100 (m)

We suppose here x≠-8
(in reality x²-x-72>0 ==>x<-8 or x>9
but x+8>0 ==> x>-8
 then
only x>9 are solutions)

W=A(x)/ ((x+8)/100 )=100*(x²-x-72)/(x+8)= 100*(x-9)(x+8)/(x+8)=100*(x-9)

Jay is hanging 160 feet of Christmas garland on the three sides (two on the width and one on the length) of fencing that enclose
Setler [38]

The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.

The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.

Given,

The measurement of the Christmas garland = 160 feet

The width of the fencing = w

The length of the fencing, l = 4w - 8

We have to find the length and width of the fencing.

Here,

Perimeter can be taken as 160. Because garland will cover the entire fencing.

Perimeter = 2(l + w)

160 = 2(4w - 8 + w)

160 = 2(5w - 8)

160/2 = 5w - 8

80 + 8 = 5w

88/5 = w

width = 17.6 feet

Now,

l = 4w - 8

l = 4 × 17.6 - 8

l = 70.4 - 8

length = 62.4 feet

That is,

The length of the fencing is 62.4 feet.

The width of the fencing is 17.6 feet.
