Answer:

  • <u>26</u>

Explanation:

The <em>average</em> is the mean. It is calculated adding all the values and dividing the sum by the number of values (data):

For the students who took the test the day before you, you can write:

mean_1=\sum scores/n

Where n is the number of students who took the test first.

Thus, when the average was 69 the equation is:

69=\sum scores/n

When you take the test, the n + 1, the new average is 70, and the sum of the scores raised in 95 points:

mean_2=(\sum scores + 95)/(n+1)\\ \\ 70=(\sum scores+95)/(n+1)

Now you have a system of two equation and two unknowns, so you can solve it.

Clear the sum of the scores from the first equation:

69=\sum scores/n=>\sum scores=69n

Subsitute in the second equation:

70=(69n+95)/(n+1)

Solve for n:

70(n+1)=69n+95\\ \\ 70n+70=69n+95\\ \\ 70n-69n=95-70\\ \\ n=25

Thus, when you include your self the number of students who took the test was 25 + 1 = 26.

What is an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-7,1) and (-3, 9)
Inga [223]

Step-by-step explanation:

let eqn be y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = (9 - 1)/(-3 - (-7))

m = 2

sub (-7, 1):

y - 1 = 2(x + 7)

therefore, the equation is y - 1 = 2(x + 7)
