<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

The average for a set of 9 elements will be

(A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) ÷ 9 = 20

Let's make (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) like S

<em>(I chose S to remember a sum)</em>

Let us think.....

S ÷ 9 = 20

S = 20 × 9

S = 180

So,  (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) = 180

According to the statement, we will include a number (element J) in the sum to obtain a mean of (20 - 4), that is:

<h3>(A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I + J) ÷ 10 = (20 - 4)</h3>

as seen above, (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) = 180, then

(180 + J) ÷ 10 = 16

(180 + J) = 160

J = 160 - 180

<h2>J = - 20</h2><h2 />

So, including the number - 20 <em>(minus 20)</em> in the original mean we will obtain a new mean whose result will be 16

Which inequality comparing two of the expressions below is true when 0.5
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<u>Option C</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 0.5≤ x ≤ 0.7

According to the range of x, we will check which option is true

Let x = 0.6

A. \frac{x}{3} > \sqrt{x}

If x = 0.6

∴0.6/3  >  √0.6 ⇒  0.2 > 0.77  ⇒ <u>Wrong inequality </u>

B. x³ > 1/x

If x = 0.6

∴ 0.6³ > 1/0.6  ⇒ 0.216 > 1.667  ⇒ <u>Wrong inequality </u>

<u></u>

C. √x > x³

If x = 0.6

∴ √0.6 > 0.6³  ⇒ 0.77 > 0.216  ⇒ <u>True inequality </u>

D. (x/3) > (1/x)

If x = 0.6

∴  0.6/3  >  1/0.6   ⇒ 0.2  > 1.667  ⇒<u> Wrong inequality </u>

<u>So, The true inequality is option C</u>

Will give brainlest plz help!!!Which relation is a function?
Levart [38]

The correct answer is the graph in the top right corner because it is a constant function. The bottom left graph is also considered a function but is an absolute function. So both are technically correct.

lucas lives 5/8 mile from school.kenny lives twice as far as lucas from school.how many miles does kenny live from school
dexar [7]
<span><span>1.       </span>Lucas Lives 5/8 miles from their schools
=> 5/8 miles is equals to:
=> 5 / 8 = 0.625 miles.
Now, the problem says that Kenny lives twice as far as Lucas from their school.
Therefore, we only need to multiply the total number of miles of Lucas distance from house to school to be able to get what is the distance of Kenny’s house to school
=> 0.625 * 2 = 1.25 miles or 1 and ¼ miles.</span>

The sum of the residuals should always be 0 because the predicted values should be that close to the actual values.
kow [346]

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the residuals is always 0 so the plot will always be centered around the x-axis. An outlier is a value that is well separated from the rest of the data set. An outlier will have a large absolute residual value.
