Ryan is correct, the mean is about 8.1.
To find the mean, you have to add up all the values, then divide by the total amount.
For Sample A:
60 x 6 + 90 x 7 + 145 x 8 + 150 x 9 + 55 x 10 = 4050
If you add up all the adults, you have 500.
Dividing 4050 by 500 = 8.1
Sample B will produce a very similar result.
The carpenter can cut six full sized pieces of board.
Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first choice ( -12, 20)
Discussion:
Using matrix multiplication we find the equations:
1x + 1y = 8 (A)
2x + 3y = 36 (B)
Next, compute
2(A) - B =>
(2x + 2y) - (2x + 3y) = 2*8 - 36 =>
(2x - 2x) + ( 2y-3y) = 16 - 36 =>
-y = -20 =>
y = 20
Substituting this y value in (A) gives
x + 20 = 8 =>
x = 8 - 20 =>
x = -12
The answer is the first choice ( -12, 20)
Thank you,
MrB
