1. Curtis was curious about the average height of the different types of plants in his flower and vegetable gardens, so he measu

red each of his plants. This data set shows the heights of the flowers in his garden, in inches:8 6 9 6 14 9 5 7 . This data set shows the heights of the vegetable plants in his garden, in inches: 36 12 36 48 24 12 6 8.
(a) What is the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the flower height data? Show your work.
(b) What is the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the vegetable height data? Show your work.
(c) Use the data to compare the two gardens. What does the MAD indicate about the variability between flower and vegetable plant heights?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hey i got the answer straight from my teach but ony a and c if you have the answer to b let me know  :  ( A) To determine the mean absolute deviation, first calculate the mean. Find the sum of the values: 8 plus 6 plus 9 plus 6 plus 14 plus 9 plus 5 plus 7 equals 64. Then divide the sum by the number of values: 64 divided by 8 equals 8. The mean is 8.

Next, find the distance of each value from the mean :

|8-8|=0 |6-8|=2 |9-8|=1 |6-8|=2 |14-8|=6 |9-8|=1 |5-8|=3 |7-8|=1

0 plus 2 plus 1 plus 2 plus 6 plus 1 plus 3 plus 1 equals 16. Then divide the sum of absolute deviations by the number of data values: 16 divided by 8 equals 2. The MAD of the data is 2.

 

C.  Since the MAD for the vegetable plant data is so much higher than the MAD for the flower data, this indicates that the heights of the vegetable plants vary more than the heights of the flowers    ALSO do you go to k12

Y = -2.8x +69.4

Let y represent units of inventory, and x represent days since the last replenishment. We are given points (x, y) = (3, 61) and (13, 33). The line through these points can be described using the 2-point form of the equation of a line:
... y -y1 = (y2-y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1)
Filling in the given point values, we have ...
... y -61 = (33 -61)/(13 -3)(x -3)
Simplifying and adding 61, we get ...
... y = -2.8x +69.4

Mrs Jenkins picked some tomatoes from her garden. She used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce. Then she used 3/4 of the rem
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Final answer is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question says that Mrs Jenkins picked some tomatoes from her garden. She used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce. After that  she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. Now we need to find about what fraction of the tomatoes did Mrs Jenkins use to make the salad.

As she used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce.

Now remaining amount of tomatoes = 1- 5/9 = 9/9 -5/9 = 4/9

Then she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. So fraction of the tomatoes did Mrs Jenkins use to make the salad = (4/9)(3/4)=12/36=1/3

Hence final answer is 1/3.

The answer is D. y=2/3x

 If you take the coordinates of each points of the line, (-3, -2) and (3, 2) and use the formula to find the slope, then putting it into formula of a line, you get

y= \frac{2}{3}x
