Answer: The correct mean is 161.

Step-by-step explanation: The question states that we have computed the mean of 40 observations and the mean is 160. This means the set of data altogether is 40 numbers. In order to arrive at the mean, we must have added all 40 observed data to get the summation of observed data and divided this by 40. In other words, we must have done something like,

Mean = {Summation} x/{x}

Where x = 40 and the mean computed is 160.

Therefore,

160 = {summation}x/40

By cross multiplication we now have

160 (40) = {summation} x

6400 = {summation}x.

However, we must not forget that one of the values in the observed data was wrongly copied as 125, (instead of 165). What this means is that the summation of all observed data is having a shortage of 40 (that is, 165 - 125). If we now insert the correct figure of 165 in place of the wrong one which is 125, our summation of observed data would now become 6440 (the shortage of 40 would have been added back to 6400).

What we now have is

Mean = {summation}x/x

Mean = 6440/40

Mean = 161

I dont unsterstand irrational numbers​
elixir [45]

An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio between two numbers and it cannot be written as a simple fraction because there is not a finite number of numbers when written as a decimal. Instead, the numbers in the decimal would go on forever, without repeating.

Sustituir. 20c + 15r + 75p + 50e​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

8c - 7r + 10p - 20e

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract (20c + 15r + 75p + 50e) - (12c + 22r + 65p + 70e)

(20c + 15r + 75p + 50e) - (12c + 22r + 65p + 70e)

Open bracket

20c + 15r + 75p + 50e - 12c - 22r - 65p - 70e

Collect like terms

= 20c - 12c + 15r - 22r + 75p - 65p + 50e - 70e

= 8c - 7r + 10p - 20e
