Answer:

The 7th person weighted 117

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Average Value</u>

The mean or average of a number n of measurements is defined as the sum of all values divided by n.

\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{\sum x_i}{n}\\

The question gives us some input data. The average weight of n=6 people is \bar x=173. With this information, we can set this relationship:

\displaystyle 173=\frac{\sum x_i}{6}

From the above equation, we know the sum of the first 6 persons:

\sum x_i=6*173=1,038

When a 7th person gets on, the new average gets down to 165 and n=7. The equation for the new average is:

\displaystyle 165=\frac{\sum x_i+X}{7}

Note we have a new summand to the numerator. It's the weight of the 7th person. Let's solve for X:

\displaystyle 165=\frac{1,038+X}{7}

Multiply by 7:

7*165=1,038+X

Operate and swap sides:

1,038 +X=1,155

X=1,155-1,038=117

The 7th person weighted 117

Answer:

117

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of all 7 people is the total weight of the original 6 people, plus the weight of the 7th person, all divided by 7.

For problems like this involving an average of numbers that are "close" together, here is a different strategy for solving the problem that you might like to try.

The original 6 people have an average weight of 173, which is 8 pounds more than the average of all 7 people. So all together, the weight of those 6 people is 6*8=48 pounds over the 165 average. That means the 7th person's weight must be 48 pounds below the 165 average.

So the weight of the 7th person is 165-48 = 117 pounds.

which shows a true conditional with a correctly identified hypothesis and conclusion. a. if its raining, then the humidity level
Degger [83]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

D) <span>if it's raining, then the humidity level is 100%; hypothesis: it is raining; conclusion: the humidity level is 100%.

Explanation:

The truth value of this conditional statement is true; if it is raining outside, that would mean the humidity level is 100%..

The hypothesis of a conditional statement is the "if" part.  In this statement, what follows "if" is "it's raining"; this is the hypothesis.

The conclusion of a conditional statement is the "then" part.  In this statement, what follows "then" is "the humidity level is 100%"; this is the conclusion.</span>

(9+8)+6/3-7×2 how to slove
klemol [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a specific order to do these kind of problems..

first, we do everything in parenthesis...

(9 + 8) + 6/3 - 7 * 2

17 + 6/3 - 7 * 2

now, starting from the LEFT side, do all multiplication and division in the order it comes

17 + 2 - 14

now, starting from the LEFT side, do all addition and subtraction in the order it comes

19 - 14 = 4

so ur answer is 4

Learn this...order of operations....this is the order u do these problems in..

PEMDAS

P = parenthesis

E = exponents

M = multiplication

D = division

A = addition

S = subtraction

keep in mind, multiplication/division are done from left to right....u do not have to do multiplication before u do division....it just depends on which comes first when starting from the left side.....that also applies to addition/subtraction
