15 over 76,894 and x over 100. You cross multiply15 with 100 which gives you 1500 and divide by the number you have left, 76,894. You get 0.0195073738. Make sure you round!

Answer:

The last year population was 66864.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the population of a town grew 15% up to 76,894.

Let the last year population be x.

The population increased by 15% up to 76894.

x+\frac{15}{100}x=76894

\frac{100x+15x}{100}=76894

\frac{115x}{100}=76894

115x=7689400

x=66864.3478

x\approx 66864

Therefore, the last year population was 66864.

Brandon rolls a six sided die twenty times, and records the result in the table below. how many times did brandon roll above the
Radda [10]

The average is the arithmetic mean of all the observations of a set of numbers. The number of times Brandon rolls above the average is 7.

<h3>What is average?</h3>

The average is the arithmetic mean of all the observations of a set of numbers. it is found by dividing the sum of all the observations of the set by the number of observations in the set.

\rm{Average=\dfrac{Sum\ of\ observations}{Number\ of\ observations}

In order to know the number of times Brandon rolls the dice above the average, we first need to calculate the average of the twenty rolls.

The average of the 20 times dice rolls,

\rm Average = \dfrac{6+1+3+4+4+4+6+5+5+3+6+4+4+5+2+3+5+4+4+2}{20}

\rm Average = \dfrac{80}{20} = 4

Thus, the average of the 20 rolls of the dice is 4.

Now, the number of times the result of the dice roll is above 4(x>4) is 7.

Hence, the number of times Brandon rolls above the average is 7.

A survey of a group of seventh graders and a group of teachers at a local middle school asked how many siblings they each have.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached to this answer is the diagram of the box plot described in the question, and the means from the plot are calculated thus;

Students;    no. of siblings

student 0     2

student 1      4

student 2     7

student 3     5

student 4     2

Total             20

Mean no. of siblings = (total number of siblings) ÷ (total number of students)

Note that number of students here are the once that had at least one sibling, others without siblings are not used in the calculation, hence 5 students (student-0 to student-4) make up total number of students, while the remaining 4 students (student-4 to student-9) are disregarded.

Therefore, mean = 20 ÷ 5 = 4 siblings.
