I think they are not always the best deal, but most are. Sometimes they are not good if they opponent has a even lower price then them.
We can adjust the data by adding 4 to everything before we calculate the statistics. Or we can calculate the statistics on the given data and just add 4 to everything at the end. We'll get the same answer either way.
Let's sort the seven data points: 5 5 5 7 7 9 10
Those add up to 48 so the mean is 48/7 = 6.9
The one in the middle is 7 so the median = 7
The mode is the most common one, mode = 5
The range is the difference between max and min, so range = 10 - 5 = 5
In the second week we add four to everything. Since that adds four to the min and max, the range doesn't change.
Answer: mean=10.9, median=11, mode=9, range=5
You cannot solve this equation, because you have no y or x values. However, you can change the equation to equal x.
2-5 inches =125miles
4-75inches=237.50 miles.
7.6=380miles
Option A is the correct answer, y = x + 2
y - 3 = x-1
If you bring the 3 to the R.H.S, it becomes y = x + 2
If you substitute the values,
3 = 1 + 2
3 = 3
Thus, e equation is correct
