The median...(hope it helps)

You would need to give us the data set to answer this question. I'm assuming this is a stats question which means I'd need to see what set of data you are working with to determine if the mean or median is best to describe the center. The meadian is resistant to outlying values while the mean is not. Therefore the meadian is a better describer for skewed distributions. Whenever you have outliers the dataset is skewed. Take a look at the shape of the data. Does it look skewed? You can make a simple graph with the data points to determine if there are outliars if you aren't able to tell just from looking at the data. (Again I don't know what data you are working with, but I hope this helped)

Demarcus and his brother are saving up some money to take a trip together. to open a joint savings account, demarcus deposited a

Anastaziya [24]

a. Demarcus' method is (d + d + 7) = 111/3

b. His brother's method is 3d + 3d + 3 × 7 = 111

c. The banker's method is 3(2d + 7) = 111

<h3>How to complete each person's method</h3>

Each pperson's method is the solution to a linear equation

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the unknown is 1.

<h3>a. How to complete Demarcus' method?</h3>

Since the equation is given by 3(d + d + 7) = 111 and demarcus was solving the equation and his first step was to divide both sides by 3, we have that

3(d + d + 7) = 111

(d + d + 7) = 111/3

d + d + 7 = 37

2d + 7 = 37

2d = 37 - 7

2d = 30

d = 30/2

d = 15

So, Demarcus' method is (d + d + 7) = 111/3

<h3>b. How to complete his brother's method?</h3>

Since the equation is given by 3(d + d + 7) = 111 and his brother started solving the equation by using the distributive property,we have that

3(d + d + 7) = 111

3d + 3d + 3 × 7 = 111

3d + 3d + 21 = 111

6d + 21 = 111

6d = 111 - 21

6d = 90

d = 90/6

d = 15

So, his brother's method is 3d + 3d + 3 × 7 = 111

<h3>c. How to complete the banker's method?</h3>

Since the equation is given by 3(d + d + 7) = 111 and their banker started solving the equation by combining like terms, we have that

3(d + d + 7) = 111

3(2d + 7) = 111

6d + 21 = 111

6d = 111 - 21

6d = 90

d = 90/6

d = 15

So, the banker's method is 3(2d + 7) = 111

In a certain grocery store, strawberries cost $6.40 per pound ( 6.40 dollars/lb ). What is the cost per ounce?

Nastasia [14]

Solution:

we are given that

In a certain grocery store, strawberries cost $6.40 per pound ( 6.40 dollars/lb ).

we have been asked to find the cost per ounce?

As we know that

16 oz=1 lb

so we will divide by 16 to get the cost per ounce.

strawberries cost $6.40 per pound so for 1 oz it will cost $=\frac{6.40}{16}= 0.4$ $

Hence cost per ounce is 0.40 $
