Last month, the seventh grade and eighth grade math classes at Moore Middle School collected canned goods for the local food she

lter. The dot plots below show the number of canned goods collected by the classes.
The mean absolute deviation for each grade level is 1.6. The difference between the mean number of canned goods collected by each grade level is how many times the mean absolute deviation?
A. 5
B. 4
C. 3
D. 6

To answer this question you will need to find the mean of each class and then subtract them. You will then compare this difference to the MAD of 1.6.

Mean of 7th grade class is:
420/20=21

Mean of 8th grade class:
325/25=13

21-13=8

To find how many times , divide 8 by 1.6.

8/1.6= 5 times

The difference of the means is 5 times the MAD (mean absolute deviation).

Answer:

a. 16; b. aₙ = 4ⁿ⁻¹; c. predation and carrying capacity will limit the population

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The first female had 4 pups.

If each of them had 4 pups, there would be 4 × 4 = 4² = 16 pups.

b. 1st generation                        =     1 pup

2nd generation = 4 ×  1 pup      =    4 pups

3rd generation  = 4 ×  4 pups    =  16 pups

4th generation  = 4 × 16 pups    = 64 pups

5th generation  = 4 × 64 pups = 256 pups

The sequence is           1,   4, 16, 64, 256, …

We can also write it as 4⁰, 4¹, 4²,  4³,   4⁴, …

Note that the exponent is one less than the number of the generation.

Thus, the general formula for the nth term, aₙ, is

aₙ = 4ⁿ⁻¹, where

n = the number of the generation

a = the number of pups in that generation.

c. a₂₅ = 4²⁵⁻¹ = 4²⁴ ≈ 281 000 000 000 000 or 281 trillion

The population would not reach that number because there would not be enough food for all those pups. Pups would die of starvation until their numbers equalled the carrying capacity of the ecosystem and would level off at that point.

There would also be increased predation by coyotes, bobcats, etc. This would also keep the population growth in check,

Given the line below.
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

y + 1 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁ ) a point on the line

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 1 )

m = \frac{1-(-1)}{2-(-2)} = \frac{1+1}{2+2} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} and (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 1 ) , then

y - (- 1) = \frac{1}{2}(x - (- 2) ) , that is

y + 1 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 2)
