Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
392/275 as a fraction
First, let's calculate the mean and the mean absolute deviation of the first bowler.
FIRST BOWLER: <span>8,5,5,6,8,7,4,7,6
Mean = (Sum of all data)/(Number of data points) = (8+5+5+6+8+7+4+7+6)/9
<em>Mean = 6.222</em>
Mean absolute deviation or MAD = [</span>∑(|Data Point - Mean|]/Number of Data Points
MAD = [|8 - 6.222| + |5 - 6.222| + |5 - 6.222| + |6 - 6.222| + |8 - 6.222| + |7 - 6.222| + |4 - 6.222| + |7 - 6.222| + |6 - 6.222|]/9
<em>MAD = 1.136</em>
SECOND BOWLER: <span>10,6,8,8,5,5,6,8,9
</span>Mean = (Sum of all data)/(Number of data points) = (<span>10+6+8+8+5+5+6+8+9</span>)/9
<em>Mean = 7.222</em>
Mean absolute deviation or MAD = [∑(|Data Point - Mean|]/Number of Data Points
MAD = [|10 - 7.222| + |6 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |5 - 7.222| + |5 - 7.222| + |6 - 7.222| + |8 - 7.222| + |9 - 7.222|]/9
<em>MAD = 1.531
</em>
The mean absolute deviation represents the average distance of each data to the mean. Thus, the lesser the value of the MAD is, the more consistent is the data to the mean. <em>B</em><em>etween the two, the first bowler is more consistent.</em>
X = 6 after distributing then adding 39 to both sides and then divide by 13
Cost/(number of cassettes) = $14.50/2 = x/15
Multiply by 15 to solve
15*($14.50/2) = x = $108.75
15 cassettes will cost $108.75.
