The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the average of a set of data is A=\frac{S}{N} , where

  • S is the sum of the data in the set
  • N is the number of the data in the set

∵ The low temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, for a week were

   − 6, − 3, − 1, 1, − 3, − 9, and − 14 degrees Celsius

∴ The set of the data is { -6 , -3 , -1 , 1 , -3 , -9 , -14}

- Add the data in the set

∵ S = -6 + -3 + -1 + 1 + -3 + -9 + -14

∴ S = -35

∵ The set has 7 data

∴ N = 7

- Use the formula of the average above to find it

∴ A=\frac{-35}{7}

∴ A = -5

∴ The average of the original set of numbers is -5

To keep the average the same after removing two numbers multiply the average by the new number of data to find the new sum

∵ The number of data after removing two numbers is 5

∴ N = 5

∵ A = -5

- By using the rule of average

∴ -5=\frac{S}{5}

- Multiply both sides by 5

∴ -25 = S

∴ The new sum is -25

- Lets find which two numbers of have a sum of -10 because

   the difference between -35 and -25 is -10

∵ -1 + -9 = -10

∵ -6 + -3 + 1 + -3 + -14 = -25

∴ We could removed -1 and -9

The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

The area would be 22 if I'm not mistaken. You would divide 69.08 by 3.14 and you would get 22.

Forty-five percent of what number is 22.5? A. 10.125 B. 100 C. 50 D. 30
Mnenie [13.5K]
Look at the answers and be logical, try rounding up so instead of 45% try 50% now 22.5 would be half the number, have a look at the answers and see what is closest to double 22.5. C looks reasonable. Hope I helped, have a nice day :)
