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

What are the next 4 terms to this sequence<br><br>2, 6, -4, 10, -14,
Kay [80]

Answer:

24, -38, 62, -100

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula is   a_n = a_(n-2)  -  a_(n-1)

so. we try this 4 times after the -14 term

a_3 = -4 =  2 - 6 =   a_1 - a_2

...

a_6  = a_4 - a_5 = 10 - (-14) = 24

a_7 = a_5 - a_6 = -14 - (24) = -38

a_8 = a_6 - a_7 = 24 - (-38)  = 62

a_9 = a_7 - a_8 =  -38 - 62 = -100

a_10 = a_8 - a_9 = 62 - (-100) = 162

In the equation a= 3/b is a positive, real number. As the
Igoryamba

Answer:

<h3>The value of a tends to zero</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression a = 3/b

as the denominator of the of the expression b increases the value of the output is known to be decreasing. if the value of b now goes so large to become an infinite, value then the value of a will goes to zero as shown;

If b = ∞

a = 3/∞

a = 0

Note that for any constant value a, the ratio a/∞ will always tends to zero

Suppose you have two hyperbolas that are the same except that the transverse axis and conjugate axis are switched. How does swit
Nonamiya [84]
Check the picture below.

assuming both hyperbolas at centered at the origin, the values for the numerator and denominator will switch, so that the slope of one is the reciprocal of the other's slope.
