-5 - 12 = -17
Starts at -5 degrees, then it drops another 12, so you subtract 12 from -5.
Answer:
The 10% trimmed mean is the mean computed by excluding the 10% largest and 10% smallest values from the sample and taking the arithmetic mean of the remaining 80% of the sample (other trimmed means are possible: 5%, 20%,, etc.) Example Consider the data (sample)
<span>Simplifying
3a2 + -2a + -1 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-1 + -2a + 3a2 = 0
Solving
-1 + -2a + 3a2 = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Factor a trinomial.
(-1 + -3a)(1 + -1a) = 0
Subproblem 1Set the factor '(-1 + -3a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-1 + -3a = 0
Solving
-1 + -3a = 0
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + -3a = 0 + 1
Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -3a = 0 + 1
-3a = 0 + 1
Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-3a = 1
Divide each side by '-3'.
a = -0.3333333333
Simplifying
a = -0.3333333333
Subproblem 2Set the factor '(1 + -1a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
1 + -1a = 0
Solving
1 + -1a = 0
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1a = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1a = 0 + -1
-1a = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1a = -1
Divide each side by '-1'.
a = 1
Simplifying
a = 1Solutiona = {-0.3333333333, 1}</span>
