The absolute value |x| returns the "positive version" of a number. In other words, if x is already positive, then |x|=x. Otherwise, if x is negative, then the absolute value changes its sign, so that it returns positive: |x|=-x.

So, in this case, we have to plug the required values for x in the expression 2x-8. Then, if the result is positive we're ok, otherwise we discard the negative sign.

We have:

x=-2.5 \implies |2x-8| = |-5-8|=|-13|=13

x=0 \implies |2x-8| = |0-8|=|-8|=8

x=4 \implies |2x-8| = |8-8|=|0|=0

x=5 \implies |2x-8| = |10-8|=|2|=2

x=9.5 \implies |2x-8| = |19-8|=|11|=11

Find the values for each dot plot.
Reika [66]
For range it’s highest number minus lowest number so:
28 - 21 = 7

For median it’s the middle number:
Since there’s two we add them and dive it by two so:
25 + 24 = 49 dived by 2 = 24.5

For mode it’s most occurring number in this case :
All of them appear twice so none of them are the mode

nora has 3/4 as many books as victor. let v represent the number of books victor has. create an expression to represent the numb
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

N = \frac{3}{4} * v

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the value that we are provided is a fraction that is tied to the number of books that Victor has, we would simply need to multiply this fraction by the total number of books that Victor has. This value is represented by the variable v while the total number of books that Nora has is represented by the variable N. Therefore, the expression would be the following

N = \frac{3}{4} * v

-8+b2-(5+b2). Since the - is outside the paranthesis the signs inside change: -8+b2-5-b2. -8-5=-3, b2-b2=0. Your answer: -3 :)
