The mean is like the average. you would add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers there are. in this case, add them all up and divide by 6 because there are 6 different numbers. this will give you your answer

Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2.4 miles to the park, four times around the

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Greater than (>)

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles.

He wants to run further this week.

<u>Distance Run this week</u>

2.4 miles to the park,
Four times around the park= 4p (if distance around the park is p miles)
2.4 miles back from the park.

Total Distance this week =2.4+4p+2.4

Since his distance this week is going to be greater than the total distance covered last week (26.1 miles), we then have:

Total Distance covered this week > Total Distance Last week

$2.4+4p+2.4>26.1$

Jason should use the greater than inequality sign.

If John can paint half of a room in two-thirds of an hour, what part of the room can he paint in a full hour?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we can express the given data mathematically as

John can paint 0.5room in 2/3 hours

let the part of the room he can paint in an hour be x

if he takes 2/3 hours to paint 0.5 room

then he will take 1 hour to paint x

cross multiply we have

x= 0.5/2/3

x=0.5*3/2

x= 1.5/2

x=0.75 part of the room

75/100= 15/20=3/4 part

Justify each step in solving the equation -3(2x-3)=25-8x by writing a reason for each statement.

Mice21 [21]

Answer: x= 8.

Step-by-step explanation: Given equation -3(2x-3)=25-8x.

Step 1: We have -3 in front of (2x-3). We always simplify a parenthesis first.

Therefore, applying Distributive property in first step, we get

-6x +9 = 25-8x.

Step 2: We need to get rid 9 from left side to get constant numbers on right side.

9 is being added on left side.

So, we would apply reverse operation of addition.

Therefore, applying Subtraction property of equality, we get

-6x +9-9 = 25-8x-9

-6x =16 -8x.

Step 3: We need to get rid 8x from right side.

The reverse operation of subtraction is addition.

Therefore, applying Addition property of equality, we get

-6x+8x =16 -8x+8x

2x = 16.

Step 4: We need to isolate it for x.

So, applying Division property of equality, we get

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16}{2}$

Give a 98% confidence interval for one population mean, given asample of 28 data points with sample mean 30.0 and sample standar

klio [65]

We have a sample of 28 data points. The sample mean is 30.0 and the sample standard deviation is 2.40. The confidence level required is 98%. Then, we calculate α by:

$\begin{gathered} 1-\alpha=0.98 \\ \alpha=0.02 \end{gathered}$

The confidence interval for the population mean, given the sample mean μ and the sample standard deviation σ, can be calculated as:

$CI(\mu)=\lbrack x-Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}},x+Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}}\rbrack$

Where n is the sample size, and Z is the z-score for 1 - α/2. Using the known values:

$CI(\mu)=\lbrack30.0-Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}},30.0+Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}}\rbrack$

Where (from tables):

$Z_{0.99}=2.33$

Finally, the interval at 98% confidence level is:

$CI(\mu)=\lbrack28.94,31.06\rbrack$
