Help please on this math problem: The prices of backpacks at a store are 22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, and 26. Find the Mean Absol

ute Deviation (MAD) of the prices.
*i just don’t know if I should round the price to divide, since the answer for the mean ends up being a decimal.*

Answer: 7.22
(note: this is a result after rounding. The result before rounding was 7.21875)

========================================================

Explanation:

Given Set of Values = {22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, 26}

Add up the values: 22+16+39+35+19+34+20+26 = 211
Divide that sum by 8 as there are 8 values: 211/8 = 26.375

The mean is 26.375

Now subtract the mean from each data value. Apply the absolute value to ensure the difference is never negative

|22 - 26.375| = 4.375
|16 - 26.375| = 10.375
|39 - 26.375| = 12.625
|35 - 26.375| = 8.625
|19 - 26.375| = 7.375
|34 - 26.375| = 7.625
|20 - 26.375| = 6.375
|26 - 26.375| = 0.375

Add up those results
4.375+10.375+12.625+8.625+7.375+7.625+6.375+0.375 = 57.75
Then divide by 8 
57.75/8 = 7.21875

The mean absolute deviation of the prices is 7.21875
Rounded to two decimal places, it is 7.22
Since we're talking about money, it makes sense to round to the nearest penny.

What is the slope intercept form of the linear equation 4x + 2y = 24
castortr0y [4]
The answer is: y = -2x+12

4x+2y=24=

4x-4x+2y=24-4x=

2y=24-4x

Divide each piece by 2=

2y/2=24/2-4x/2

y=12-2x

But, slope intercept form is y=mx + b so you must put the second part in reverse, making the answer to the equation be y=-2x+12
(Don't forget the - on -2)

We know

\boxed{\sf cos\Theta=\dfrac{b}{h}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto cos22=\dfrac{x}{47}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.9=\dfrac{x}{47}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=47(0.9)

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=42.3

How do you find x? Please help
marusya05 [52]
Since you know that DA and DC are equal in length, you can say 2x-3=x+2, when you add 3 to both sides, it becomes 2x=x+5, subtract x from both sides, and you find that x=5
