Carlos and Ethan noticed that both proportional relationships and linear functions form a straight line when graphed. Carlos cla

Andrews [41]

Answer:

B. Ethan is correct because all proportional relationships form a straight line and go through the origin and linear functions are linear, but they don’t all go through the origin so they are not always proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

So a proportional relationship is just a special kind of linear relationship, i.e., all proportional relationships are linear relationships (although not all linear relationships are proportional).

Rectangle fence two sides will have lengths o 28 feet each and Ricky has 100 feet of fencing what is the greatest possible lengt

liraira [26]

Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation: Perimeter of a rectangle is 2H + 2B = P

if each side has 28 feet then 28* 2 = 56. We take 100 - 56 = 44. Then we take 44/2 to find one remaining side = 22.

12, 9, 15, 19, 20, 15<br><br> Mean <br><br> Median <br><br> Mode

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Mean: 15

Median: 15

Mode: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Definitions:</h2>

<u>Mean</u>: It represents the average value of a given data set. The formula for finding the mean of a given set of numbers by taking the quotient of all numbers and the number of values. In other words:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{Sum\:of \:all\: values}{Number\:of\:values \:in\: a \:given \:data\:set}}$

<u>Median:</u> It represents the middle value in a given set of numbers. In order to determine the median, it is essential to arrange the given data either in <em>ascending</em> or <em>descending</em> order (although it is customary to arrange the numbers into ascending order).

If there is an odd number of values in a given set, then the <u>middle number</u> is the median of that set.

If a given list comprises of an even number of items, then we must take the <em>average</em> of the two middle numbers.

<u>Mode</u>: It represents the number that <u>occurs most often</u> on a list of items or data.

<h2>Solution:</h2><h3><u>Find the Mean:</u></h3>

Using the formula provided in the previous section for finding the mean:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{Sum\:of \:all\: values}{Number\:of\:values \:in\: a \:given \:data\:set}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Mean\:=\:\frac{12+9+15+19+20+15}{6}\:=\:\frac{90}{6}\:=\:15}$

<h3><u>Find the Median:</u></h3>

Arrange the given data set in <u><em>ascending order</em></u>:

12, 9, 15, 19, 20, 15 ⇒ 9, 12, <u>15</u>, <u>15</u>, 19, 20

Next, since there is an even number of items on our given data set, we must <u>take the average of the</u><u> two middle numbers</u> (which are 15 and 15):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Median\:=\:\frac{15+15}{2}\:=\:\frac{30}{2}\:=\:15}$

Therefore, the median is 15.

As described in the previous section of this post, the mode is the number that occurs most often on our given data. The only repeating number on our list is 15, hence it is the mode.

Therefore, the <em>mean</em>, <em>median</em>, and <em>mode</em> of the given data set is <u>15</u>.
