Mean is found by adding all the numbers in a data set, then dividing by the amount of numbers added.

Group 1 Mean: 42

Group 2 Mean: 52

The only extreme value in these data sets is 150. An extreme value makes a mean that makes no sense. It distorts it.

No. Group 2 is not a good indication of the typical salary in the group. It has a value that is a lot higher than all the other salaries in the group.

Mean is all of the numbers added up and then divided by the number of the numbers. so for example; 32+36+38+39+42+43+44+47+49+50 divided by 10 do that and then group 2, and if you already know how to do that then answer the questions

The table below shows the process of solving using successive approximations. Continue this process to find the positive solutio

We are going to continue the process; this time we are going to evaluate both functions at x=2.4:
For our first function:
$f(x)=2x-5$
$f(2.4)=2(2.4)-5$
$f(2.4)=4.8-5$
$f(2.4)=-0.2$

For our second function:
$g(x)= x^{2} -6$
$g(2.4)=(2.4)^2-6$
$g(2.4)=5.76-6$
$g(2.4)=-0.24$
To the nearest tenth:
$g(2-4)=-0.2$

We can conclude that the positive solution of our functions to the nearest tenth is $x=2.4$ .
