Answer:
40 and 10
Step-by-step explanation:
if you add them you get 50 and if you subtract them you get 30
The way you wrote it could have 2 meanings:
Sum of twice a and 4 could be:
2a+4 or 2(a+4) which will give different results.
In the first case:
2a+4
a= 4/2
a= 2
So the sum would be 2*2+4 = 4+4 = 8
In the second case:
2(a+4) = 2a + 2*4 = 2a + 8
a= 8/2
a=4
2(4+4) = 2*8 = 16
For the difference to be positive, when both the minuend and the subtrahend are positive, the former must be greater than the latter.
Therefore
minuend = 2 ⇒ subtrahend = 1 ← 1 number
minuend = 3 ⇒ subtrahend = 1,2 ← 2 numbers
minuend = 4 ⇒ subtrahend = 1,2,3 ← 3 numbers
minuend = 5 ⇒ subtrahend = 1,2,3,4 ← 4 numbers
minuend = 6 ⇒ subtrahend = 1,2,3,4,5 ← 5 numbers
1+2+3+4+5=<u>15</u>

Answer:
Mean = 6.3
Median = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Measures of centre, mean and median, can be calculated as follows:
First, bear in mind that each dot represents a value in the data set.
==>Mean:
Mean is the sum of all values in the data set divided by the number of data set we have.
The sum can be calculated as follows:
0 (1) = 0
4 (3) = 12
5(8) = 40
6(3) = 18
7(1) = 7
8(5) = 40
9(2) = 18
10 (3) = 30
Sum = 0+12+40+18+7+40+18+30 = 165
No of data set = 26
Mean = 165/26 = 6.346 ≈ 6.3 (nearest tenth place)
==>Median: this is the middle value in the data set. Since the number of data set is even number (26) , the middle value lies between the 13th and 14th data points. The average of the 13th and 14th data points will give us the median value.
Thus, the 13th and 14th values are both 6.
Therefore, median = (6+6) ÷ 2 = 6
