B) is correct; on average, each bag of candy has a weight that is 2.6 oz different than the mean weight of 5 oz.
To find the mean absolute deviation, we first find the mean. Find the sum of the data points and divide by the number of data points (without the outlier, 21, in it):
(10+3+7+3+4+6+10+1+2+4)/10 = 50/10 = 5
Now we find the difference between each data point and the mean, take its absolute value, and find their sum:
|10-5|+|3-5|+|7-5|+|3-5|+|4-5|+|6-5|+|10-5|+|1-5|+|2-5|+|4-5| =
5+2+2+2+1+1+5+4+3+1 = 26
We now divide this by the number of data points:
26/10 = 2.6
This is a measure of how much each bag of candy varies from the mean.
Answer:
6 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 * 9 = 27/4
How many times does 4 go into 27
It goes in 6 times (4*6 = 24) with 3 left over
The left over part goes over the denominator
6 3/4
Answer:
Kevin can afford to have 15 guests at his party.
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that Kevin's party costs $52, so you can subtract 52 from 97, which is 45. So, he can spend $45 dollars on guests. $45 divided by 3, the amount it takes for each guest, to get 15.
