Answer:

a. Marks = 10, 13, 14, 16, 18, 18

b. mode = 18

c. Range = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given the following data set arranged in ascending order:

10, 13, 3x-1, 3x+1, 18, 18

Median = 15

==>Required:

a. Marks:

To get each marks, let's find the value of x since we know median to be 15.

10, 13, [3x-1, 3x+1], 18, 18

Our median in this even number of data set would be the average of the 2 middle values which would give us 15.

Thus, we have:

[(3x-1) + (3x+1)] ÷ 2 = 15

[3x-1 + 3x+1] ÷ 2 = 15

[3x+3x-1+1] ÷ 2 = 15

6x/2 = 15

Multiply 2 by both sides

6x = 30

Divide 6 by both sides

x = 5

Now let's plug in the value of x to get out marks:

10, 13, 3(5)-1, 3(5)+1, 18, 18

10, 13, 14, 16, 18, 18

b. Mode is the most appeared data value, which is 18

c. Range is the difference between the highest and lowest value = 18 - 10 = 8

If you have ever swum in a pool and your eyes began to sting and turn red, you are aware of the effects on an incorrect pH level

RSB [31]

1. Create a graph of the pH function. Locate on your graph where the pH value is 0 and where it is 1. You may need to zoom in on your graph.
The pH value is 1 at the orange dot, and is 1 at the red dot. 
The transformation p(t+1) results in a y-intercept. 

In this graph, the blue line is the original and first parent function p(t) = –log10 t. The pink line represent p(t) + 1, the transformation shifts up the y-axis by 1, but the p(t) + 1 transformation does not result in a y-intercept like the ones prior. The gold line represents p(t +1), which shifts horizontally by 1 to the left. This does result in a y-intercept, because the graph doesn't completely flip over the line to the other side, and the green line represents -1*p(t), which causes the graph to flip upside down, and doesn't end up as a y- intercept.

Three brothers, Justin, Jared, and Jonathan decided to buy a present for their mom's birthday. Justin gave decided to spend 1/4

iVinArrow [24]

I believe that, if there are three brothers and each invested the same exact money to make a total of $33.00, each brother would have invested $11.

Jonathan's was different, as he invested 2/5. 11 divided by 2 is 5.5, in which 5.5*11 would equal 27.50.
The rest was simply their denominator times $11.
Jared had $33 dollars before the investment, and Justin has $44.
