Answer:

c) 15.33

Step-by-step explanation:

lets find the mean first

mean = sum of the data values / number of data (n)

= 75 + 83 + 96 + 100 + 121 + 125 / 6

= 600/6

= 100

Next, let 'x' represent each data value and 'a' represent the the mean

now, calculate the deviation from each data point

75 - 100 = - 25

83 - 100 = -17

96 - 100 = - 4

100 - 100 = 0

121 - 100 = 21

125 - 100 = 25

Then, find the absolute value of each deviation and sum them up

that is | a - x |

| -25 | + | -17 | + | -4 | + | 0 | + | 21 | + | 25 |

= 25 + 17 + 4 + 0 + 21 + 25

= 92

now, calculate the mean of the absolute value

92/6 = 15.33

What is the solution to the following system of linear equations?
OverLord2011 [107]
There are two ways to solve system of equations.

1) substitution method

2) elimination method

4x - y = -6

x - 2y = -5

For thus problem, i'll be using the substitute method.

So, using the equation x - 2y = -5:

Solve for "x" by adding 2y to both sides of the equation.

x = 2y - 5

Now we know what "x" is, we can substitute it in the other equation.

4x - y = -6

4(2y - 5) - y = -6

8y - 20 - y = -6

7y - 20 = -6

7y = 14

y = 2

We now know the numerical value of y. So, all we have to do is plug in y into either system of equation to solve for the numerical value of x.

4x - 2 = -6 x - 2y = -5

4x = -4 x - 2(2) = -5

x = -1 x - 4 = -5

x = -1



The solution is (-1, 2) where x equals -1 and y equals 2.

Explain direct variation equations please. Provide an example.
nikitadnepr [17]
A direct variation is a linear equation. It describes a simple relationship between two variables.

Example: if y varies directly as x, and y = 6 when x = 2, the constant of variation is k = = 3.

Hope this helped!! :)
