A collection of 5 positive integers has mean 4.4, unique mode 3 and median 4. If an 8 is added to the collection, what is the ne

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.

Comment on vocabulary

mean: 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.

median: 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.

mode: 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.

Which number will have the same result when rounded to the nearest ten or hundred A-97 B-118and5 C-179 D-5091

slamgirl [31]

Lets round it to the nearest ten
A 97 ====> 100
B 118 ===> 120
C 179 ===> 180
D 5091 ==> 5090
No result yet, lets round to the nearest hindred.
A 97 ====> 100
B 118 ===> 100
C 179 ===> 180
D 5091 ==> 5100
As we can see only A give the same result when we round it to the nearest hundred and nearest ten.

Which of the following statements best describes the graph of -5x+2y=1

ahrayia [7]

The answer is the third option.
x and y are both to the first degree so we know it makes a straight line.
Next check the ordered pairs to see which set are true in the equation.

Geometry

Kobotan [32]

Answer: UV = 52

Concept:

Additive property of length, or the segment addition postulate, states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

Solve:

Given information

TU = 4x

UV = 2x + 14

TV = 7x - 5

Given expression deducted from the additive property of length

TV = TU + UV

Substitute values into the expression

7x - 5 = 4x + 2x + 14

Combine like terms

7x - 5 = 6x + 14

Subtract 6x on both sides

7x - 5 - 6x = 6x + 14 - 6x

x - 5 = 14

Add 5 on both sides

x - 5 + 5 = 14 + 5

x = 19

Find UV by substituting the value of x

UV = 2x + 14 = 2 (19) + 14 = $\boxed{52}$

Hope this helps!! :)
