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.

solniwko [45]
<h2>Greetings</h2>

Answer:

Graph number 1 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because continuous data is shown by drawing a line that means the pencil doesn't have to be taken off the page. Seeing as these two graphs are the only two with lines drawn, it means they are graph number 1 and 3.

Which situation can be represented by the<br> inequality 4x − 25 &lt; 125?
GaryK [48]
First add 25 to both sides of the inequality.
You get 4x < 150
Now divide both sides by 4.
You get x < 37.5
So x can be anything less than 37.5,  such as 36,  35 or 34.

Yesenia buys water to make tea for all her friends. She buys 1 qurt of water and 1/2 gallon of water. How many cups of water doe
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

12 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to do with conversion

We are told that she buy 1 quart and 1/2 gallon of water.

Hence,

1 quart of water = 4 cups of water

1 gallon of water = 16 cups of water

1/2 gallon of water = x

Cross Multiple

x = 1/2 × 16 cups of water

x = 8 cups of water.

Therefore, the total cups of water that she bought = 4 cups of water + 8 cups of water = 12 cups of water
