2x-4y=-16
ax+4y=6      +
--------------------
2x+ax=-10;     for x=-2, 
2(-2)+a(-2)=-10
-2a=-10+4
a=-6/-2
a=3

Ex. 11 An apple computer has a retail price of $1000. Jim's House of Electronics is having a "20%-off sale",
Elina [12.6K]
He would have to pay $560 because if you take 20% off of the computer using the equation 1000 - (1000 * 0.20) you get 800. This means that the 30% coupon is applied to $800, so using the same template as the equation above, we can do 800 - (800 * 0.30) to get a final answer of 560.

The frequency distributions of two data sets are shown in the dot plots below.
fredd [130]

Answer:

1st, 4th and 6th statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two dot-plots and we are asked to select all the true statements about given dot plots.

Let us write all the data points of both dot plots.

Data set 1:  

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 7.

Data set 2:  

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4.

1. The mean of data set 1 is greater than the mean of data set 2.

Let us find mean of both data sets.

\text{Mean of data set 1}=\frac{1+1+1+1+1+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+3+3+3+4+4+7}{19}

\text{Mean of data set 1}=\frac{45}{19}

\text{Mean of data set 1}=2.3684\approx 2.37  

\text{Mean of data set 2}=\frac{1+1+1+1+1+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+3+3+3+4+4}{18}

\text{Mean of data set 2}=\frac{38}{18}

\text{Mean of data set 2}=2.11

We can see that mean of data set 1 is greater than mean of data set 2, therefore, 1st statement is true.

2. The mean of data set 1 is equal to the mean of data set 2.

Since mean of data set 1 is greater than mean of data set 2, therefore, 2nd statement is false.

3. The median of data set 1 is greater than the median of data set 2.

Since data set 1 has 19 data points, so median of data set 1 will be value of 10th data set, that is 2.

Our data set 2 has 18 data points, so median of data set 2 will be the average of 9th and 10th data points.

\text{Median of data set 2}=\frac{2+2}{2}

\text{Median of data set 2}=\frac{4}{2}=2

Since median of data set 2 is also 2, therefore, 3rd statement is not true.

4. The median of data set 1 is equal to the median of data set 2.

Since both data set's median is 2, therefore, 4th statement is true.

5. The standard deviation of data set 1 is smaller than the standard deviation of data set 2.

Using online SD calculator we get SD of data set 1 is 1.422 and SD of data set 2 is 0.936. Since 1.422 is greater than 0.936, therefore, 5th statement is false.

6. The data sets have the same interquartile range.


Q_1\text{ of data set 1}=1

Q_3\text{ of data set 1}=3

\text{IQR of data set 1}=3-1=2

Q_1\text{ of data set 2}=1

Q_3\text{ of data set 2}=3

\text{IQR of data set 2}=3-1=2

Since both data set's IQR is 2, therefore, 6th statement is true.
