Answer:

  4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It appears the 5 integers must be {3, 3, 4, 5, 7}.

For the mode to be unique, there must be more than one '3', and there cannot be any other repeated numbers. For 4 to be the median, it must be the 3rd-highest number. Then the remaining numbers must be integers greater than 4 with a sum of 12 for the mean to be 4.4.

When 8 is added to the collection, the median is now the average of 4 and 5, so is 4.5.

The new median is 4.5.

<em>Comment on vocabulary</em>

<u>mean</u>: the sum of numbers divided by the number of numbers. 5 numbers with a mean of 4.4 will have a sum of 5×4.4 = 22.

<u>median</u>: the middle number of a collection of an odd number of numbers, when sorted from lowest to highest. It is the 3rd number of a group of 5 numbers. When there are an even number of numbers in the group, the median is the average of the middle two in the sorted list. Here, that means the 3rd number in the list of 5 is '4'. When 8 is added, 4 becomes one of the numbers contributing to the average that will be the new median.

<u>mode</u>: the member of the group that appears the most times. When the mode is unique, it means there are no other numbers repeated as often. Here, we know the 3rd number (of 5) is 4, so there can only be two numbers '3' in the collection. That 3 is the unique mode means no other numbers are repeated at all.

WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!!! solve the triangle and answers to the nearest tenth.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Angle A is 29 degress Angle B is 61 Angle C is 90

Side AB is 5.8 Side BC is 2.8 and  Side AC is 5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A is found using triangle interior theorem.

I found side AC by using law of sines

b/sin b= c/sin c

x/sin 61= 5.8/sin 90( which equal 1)

x=5.1

I found side BC by using pythagoren theorem.

a^2 + b^2=c^2

5.1^2+ b^2=5.8^2

26.01+b^2=36.64

b^2=7.63

b=approx 2.8.

Mai gave half of her brownies, and then half a brownie more, to Kiran. Then she gave half of what was left,
givi [52]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

all we know is that she had 1 brownie at the end, in the end she gave half her brownie to tyler, so add one who will get 1 1/2, before that she split her brownies between her friends, so multiply 1 1/2 by 2 and you will get 3, before that she gave 1/2 a brownie to Kiran, so we would add 1/2 to 3 and get 3 1/2, before that she first split it in half for a her friends, so at last,  multiply 3 1/2 by 2 and you will geet 7 as your final answer.

How many litters of apple syrup and water did she use in the ratio of 2:3 and made 1800 ml of such fruit juice
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

720 mL ; 1080 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Givenn:

Apple syrup : water = 2 : 3

Fruit juice volume made using the ratio above = 1800 ml

Sum of ratio = 2 + 3 = 5

Litres of Apple syrup :

(Syrup ratio / total) * total volume of fruit

(2 / 5) * 1800

= 0.4 * 1800

= 720 ml

Litres of water :

(water ratio / total) * total volume of fruit

(3 / 5) * 1800

= 0.6 * 1800

= 1080 ml
