Making a list helps organize the information in a word problem that can otherwise be overwhelming and confusing. Making lists put out a straightforward guide and help you break down the problem so you really understand what you need to do.
Word problem:
Maya has $55 and she gives her brother $10. She also gives her friend $15 and her sister $5. Her sister pays her back fully but her brother only pays back half of what he owed, promising to pay her back later. Her friend gives back 1/3 of what she owed, also promising to pay her back as soon as she can. How much money does Maya currently have?

In this problem, you have to process the money transactions and making a list will help you go step by step.

Find the measure of angle ABD if the measure of angle DBC is 42 degrees and the measure of angle ABC is 88 degrees

snow_lady [41]

First, realize that angle ABC is the sum of the two other angles. Hence, form an equation in which you subtract the measure of one of the angles from angle ABC to get the measure of the other angle -- the one you are solving for.

Answer:

For your first problem you want to see what all the sides would equal

You would have to combine them all into one big equation

5x-7+3x+1+4x=30 (now you want to combine like terms)

12x-7+1=30 (combined the x's together)

12x-6=30 (added -7 and 1)

12x=36 (added 6 to each side)

x=3 (divided 12 to each side)

Now you wanna plug 4 in for x for each side to find out the largest to smallest

AB=5(3)-7= 8

BC=3(3)+1= 10

AC=4(3)= 12

So in order from smallest to largest would be angle C, B, A because

Angle C is the smallest angle because the sides AC and BC are the longest so they form the smallest angle

Then it would be angle A being the largest because the smallest sides in length AB and BC make up the biggest angle

The next problem would be that in order for it to have to be a triangle the two smallest sides needs to add up higher than the third side so

11, 11, 24, 11+11=22, which is less than 24 so not this one

18,12,9, 9+12=21 which is greater that 18 so this one would be a triangle

9,10,19, 9+10=19 which 19 isn't greater than 19 so this one is not a triangle

4,7,23, 4+7=11 which is less than 23, so this one is also not a triangle

So your answer would be 18cm,12cm,9cm

Common measures of variation

Variance

S²= $\frac{1}{n-1}[sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} ]$

∑X= 20 + 18 + 23 + 30 + 20 + 12 + 24 + 9 + 25 + 15 + 8 + 11 + 15 + 34

∑X= 264

∑X²= 20² + 18² + 23² + 30² + 20² + 12² + 24² + 9² + 25² + 15² + 8² + 11² + 15² + 34²

∑X²= 5770

n= 14

S²= $\frac{1}{13}[5770-\frac{(264)^2}{14} ]$

S²= 60.90

Standard deviation

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance

S= √S²= √60.90= 7.80

Coefficient of variation

Is a relative standard deviation, it is defined as the division of the standard deviation (S) by the mean (X[bar)]. It has not units and is usually expressed in percentage. It shows the variability in relation to the mean.

C.V.= $\frac{S}{X[bar]}$ *100 = $\frac{7.80}{18.86}$ *100= 41.36%

The mean or average is a measurement of position and gives you an idea of the central value of the distribution of the data.

X[bar]= ∑X/n= 264/14= 18.86

Range

In the interval between the max and min values. It allows you to have an idea of the dispersion of the values.

R= Xmax - Xmin= 34 - 8= 26

Xmax= 34

Xmin= 8

Inter Quartile Range

Is the difference between Quantile 1 (C₁) and Quantile 3 (C₃). It shows the 50% mid values of the sample.

IQR= C₃ - C₁= 23.5 - 11.5 = 12

Quantile 1 (C₁) is the value that leaves 25% of the sample below and 75% of the sample above.

Pos1: n/4= 14/4= 3.5

The first quantile is the number between position 3 and position 4

8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 15, 18, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 30, 34

C₁= (11+12)/2= 11.5

Quantile 3 (C₃) is the value that leaves 75% of the sample below and 25% of the sample above.

Pos3: n*3/4= 14*3/4= 10.5

The third Quantile is between position 10 and 11

8, 9, 11, 12, 15, 15, 18, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 30, 34

C₃= (23+24)/2= 23.5

The measurements of variation don't allow you to know the origin of the data, that it is from consecutive years.

I hope it helps!
