Answer:

(11/3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the coordinates of the point that partitions the line segment in the given ratio, we shall be using the internal division formula.

Mathematically, that is ;

= {(mx2 + nx1/(m+n), (my2 + ny1)/(m + n)}

m and n represents the ratios 1:2

(x1, y1) represents the coordinates of A

(x2,y2) represents the coordinates of B

From the question, let’s list out the individual values;

m = 2

n = 1

x1 = 3

x2 = 4

y1 = 6

y2 = 3

Substituting these values in the equation, we have;

(2(4) + 1(3)/(1+2) , (2(3) + 1(6)/(1 + 2))

= (8 + 3)/3 , (6 + 6)/3)

= (11/3, 12/3)

= (11/3 , 4)

78 is what percent of 110

irinina [24]

Answer: 70.909090909091%

Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have 78 is, that's 78 equals, what percent, x/100, of 110, times 110.

It's important to understand that percent means over 100 so what percent would simply mean x/100 or any variable but I will be using x.

So we have the equation $78 = \frac{x}{100} *110$

So cross canceling the 110 and 100 to 11 and 10, we have $78 = \frac{11x}{10}$

Multiply both sides by 10 to get rid

of the fraction and we have 780 = 11x.

Now divide both sides by 11 and 70.909090909091 = x.

So, 78 is 70.909090909091% of 110.

The distribution of individual incomes in the United States is strongly skewed to the right. In 2013, the mean and median income

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The mean would be $322,343 and the median would be $196,723.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the distribution of individual incomes is skewed to the right, it means that the distribution has a long right tail.

Drawing a distribution with this characteristic, we can see how the majority of the data falls into the left side of the graphic, meaning that a lot of people receive less income. Following this reasoning, the mean which is the amount of the data (in this case individual income) divided by the amount of people, would be the higher number, meaning that the few people who earn more money would influence in making this number higher.

Following this reasoning, the median (which is not influenced by this difference) would be the less high number.
