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.

If p(x)=2x^2-4x and q(x)=x-3 what is (p*q)(x)
Tanya [424]

Answer: 2x³-10x²+12x or 2x(x²-5x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

(p*q)(x) means p(x) and q(x) multiplied together.

(2x²-4x)(x-3)

2x³-6x²-4x²+12x

2x³-10x²+12x

You can also factor this by taking out a 2x.

2x(x²-5x+6)

2. When you take a taxi, the driver charges an initial fee
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The

3

mile cab ride includes a basic charge as well as the cost for the distance covered.

For a

6

mile trip, the cost is

$

4.80

which means that :

The cost of

3

miles is

$

4.80

−

$

3.00

=

$

1.80

Therefore the cost for

1

mile is

$

1.80

÷

3

=

$

0.60

The basic fee for hiring the cab is

$

3.00

−

$

1.80

=

$

1.20

So the total cost,

c

for a trip of

d

miles will be:

c

=

0.6

d

+

1.2

Check:

If

d

=

3

c

=

0.6

(

3

)

+

1.2

=

3

If

d

=

6

c

=

0.6

(

6

)

+

1.2

=

4.8

In 2013 number of students in a small school is 284.it is estimated that student population will increase by 4 percent
BaLLatris [955]

The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.

Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get

{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P

n

=284⋅1.04

n

We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.

\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7

We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.

\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P

7

=284⋅1.04

7

≈374

The student population will be about 374 in 2020.
