Answer:

Mean age: 48

Standard deviation: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Mean

The formula for Mean = Sum of terms/ Number of terms

Number of terms

= 42 + 54 + 50 + 54 + 50 + 42 + 46 + 46 + 48+ 48/ 10

= 480/10

= 48

The mean age is 48

b) Standard deviation

The formula for Standard deviation =

√(x - Mean)²/n

Where n = number of terms

Standard deviation =

√[(42 - 48)² + (54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(42 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² / 10]

= √-6² + 6² + 2² + 6² + 2² + -6² + -2² + -2² + 0² + 0²/10

=√36 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 4 + 0 + 0/ 10

=√160/10

= √16

= 4

The standard deviation of the ages is 4

One container holds 1 7/8 quarts of water and A second container holds 5 3/4 quarts of water how many more quarts of water does
BartSMP [9]
5  \frac{3}{4} -1 \frac{7}{8} =  \frac{23}{4} - \frac{15}{8} = \frac{46}{8} - \frac{15}{8} = \frac{46-15}{8} = \frac{31}{8} = \boxed {3 \frac{7}{8} }

Solve the following system of liner equations:
nexus9112 [7]
First we get the value of y in terms of x

We have 2x + y + 9 = 0

We transpose 2x and 9 to the other side so we could get the value of y being:
y = - 2x - 9

Now that we have the value of y we can substitute it to the first equation
6x - 3y + 10 = 0
6x - 3 (-2x - 9) + 10 = 0
Simplifying the inside of the parentheses we would have
6x - (3)(-2x) - (3)(-9) + 10 =0
6x + 6x + 27 + 10 = 0

Combining similar terms we would get
12x + 37 = 0
We transpose 37 to the other side for easier simplification
12x = - 37
We divide both sides by 12 to get the value of x
12x/12 = - 37/12
Since 12/12 is equal to 1 our value of x would be
x = - 37/12
Or simply x = - 3.0833

Now that we know the value of x we can use it to obtain the value of y
y = - 2x - 9
y = - 2(-37/12) - 9
y = 37/6 - 9
y = - 17/6
Or in decimal y = - 2.8333

Final values of x and y would be
x = - 3.0833
y = - 2.8333
