Answer:

The arithmetic mean is the average.

The median is the value that occupies the central position.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic mean is the average, it represents the equitable distribution, it can be the sample mean and the population means. It is the value that corresponds to the sum of all data divided by the number of data in the set.

The median is the value that occupies the central position of all the data ordered from least to greatest, if the number of data is even, the median is the arithmetic mean of the two exchanges.

For example, for the set of numbers 6,12, 20, 9 and 18, the average can be calculated by first counting the

6 + 12 + 20 + 9 + 18 = 65

Then divide this result 65 by 5 which is the number of numbers that make up the set and that you added to obtain it, which results in 13, which would be the average of this set of numbers.

65/5 = 13

For the median, they are ordered from least to greatest.

Once this is done, we take the number located in the middle and this will be the median.

Thus we would have the numbers 6, 9, 12, 18 and 20. In this case, the median is 12.

Now we add number to be even, 1, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 20, in this case, the 2 numbers of the center are taken and averaged

9 + 12 = 21

21/2 = 10.5

The interest rate r required to increase investment p to amount a in t years is found using the formula r=(a/p)^1-t - 1. Find th

valkas [14]

The interest rate would be 20%.

The formula is derived from the compound interest formula

$A=p(1+r)^t$ .

We want to isolate r in this equation to rewrite the formula. The first thing we would cancel, outside parentheses, would be p; divide both sides by p and we have

$\frac{A}{p}=(1+r)^t$

We want to cancel the exponent, t, next. We can raise a power to its reciprocal to undo it; for example, raising a squared amount to the 1/2 power will undo the exponent. We will raise both sides of this to the 1/t power:

$(\frac{A}{p})^{\frac{1}{t}}=1+r$

Now we cancel the 1 by subtracting, giving us

$(\frac{A}{p})^{\frac{1}{t}}-1=r$

Using this formula, we plug in 3600 for A, 2500 for p and 2 for t:

Solving Multi-Step Inequalities:

Answer:

Because the problem says - they are AT LEAST...

You would need to list the answers this way

GrandD is < or = to 5 GrandS is greater or = to 7

Step-by-step explanation:

These are so fun!

Let GrandD = X

Let GrandS = X + 2 (because he is two years older than GrandD)

Their age together is 12 years - so...

GrandD + GrandS = 12 OR...

x + x + 2 = 12

Now solve for x.

2x + 2 = 12

2x = 10 (because we subtract the ones on the left from the ones on the right)

x = 5 (because we divide both sides by 2)

This means that GrandD (x) is equal or greater than 5 years old

And GrandS (x + 2) = or greater than 7 years old
