Answer:
New mean length of these 17 people=11.62
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Step 1: Determine the total length of children's fingers</em>
L=l×n
where;
L=total length (cm)
l=mean length (cm)
n=number of children
replacing;
L=6.7×6=40.2 cm
The total children's fingers length=40.2 cm
<em>Step 2: Determine the total length of adults fingers</em>
total length of adults fingers=mean length of adults fingers×number of adults
where;
mean length of adults=14.3
number of adults=11
replacing;
total length of adults fingers=(14.3×11)=157.3 cm
<em>Step 3: Determine the new mean length</em>
new mean length=total length of adults and children fingers/number of adults and children
where;
total length of adults and children fingers=157.3+40.2=197.5 cm
number of adults and children=11+6=17
replacing;
new mean length=197.5/17=11.62
Remember x is x and f(x) is same thing as y.
f(5) = 4
It is same thing as saying, when x = 5, y aka f(x) should be 4. Aka the point (5,4)
Let’s look at D, if x =5 then f(x)=5? No, it should equal 4. So this is wrong. It is also not linear. So NOT D
Lets look at C, if x =5 then
1/5(5)+3 =
5/5 + 3 =
1+3 =
4
So, f(x) aka y = 4. Is this correct? Yes when x =5, y indeed should equal 4, but it is not linear. So NOT C
Lets look at B, if x=5 then,
2^5 -28 =
32 - 28 =
4
So, f(x) aka y = 4. Is this correct? Yes when x =5, y indeed should equal 4, AND it is linear SO THE ANSWER IS B
Check A too, it gets y=14 so thats wrong as it is not 4.
