Median is where if you put them in ascending order and cross them off, one from each side at a time, you get to the middle number.
56789 is your answer but so would any group of 5 numbers where two are bigger and two smaller than seven.
Complete question
To find
, Beau found
and
. He said that since 5 is between 4 and 9,
, is between 2 and 3. Beau thinks a good estimate for
, is
Is his estimate high or low? How do you know?
Answer:
The estimation is high because 5 is very close to 4 so
will also be very close to
which is lower than the estimate
In order to get a good estimate
The first step is to choose a number between 2 and 3 let say 2.8 , 2,85 , 2.9 and the square them
i.e



From here we can see that
lies between 2.2 and 2.3 but is closer to 2.2
So a good estimate for
is 2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Consider from x = -5 to x = -4, they are 1 unit apart and the difference of their outputs is given by:
-3 - (-11) = -3 + 11 = 8.
Thus, the value of the output increases by 8 units for each one unit increase in the input.
Part B:
Consider from x = -3 to x = -1, they are 2 units apart and the difference of their outputs is given by:
21 - 5 = 16.
Thus, the value of the output increases by 16 units for each two units increase in the input.
Part C:
Consider from x = 0 to x = 3, they are 3 units apart and the difference of their outputs is given by:
53 - 29 = 24.
Thus, the value of the output increases by 24 units for each three units increase in the input.
Part D:
It can be noticed that the ratio difference in the outputs to the input intervals are equal for all the given input intervals.
i.e 8 / 1 = 16 / 2 = 24 / 3.
8 x 100 = 800
5 x 10= 50
1x1= 1
6 x 0.10= 0.6
4 x 0.01 = 0.04
= 851.64
