Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 1 to 5 ratio. Since 48 is your result after the deduction, you need to set the unknown variable to x and proportion your answer. you have 4/5ths remaining. Divide 48 by 4 to get your 1 to 5 ratio equivalent. It will be 12. Add this to the price after deduction to get the original price.

1/5 is equal to 20% so you multiply 48 by .20 and you get 9.6 and your take 9.6 and add it to 48. your answer will be 57.6

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Variance 0²

standard deviation 0×

mean α

median x-bar

Step-by-step explanation:

these are the four different symbols that have been used to represent specific statistical measures like for example, mean which is used to calculate the average value of a sample or population. Variance is the what is expected from the squared standard deviation of a random variable from is average vale/ mean. Median is the value that lies in the middle in a random sample and lastly the standard deviation is the square root of the variance and it measures how the values of sample are spread or how far are they from the mean. these are also commonly use in excel a lot to calculate and evaluate data.
