Answer:

The calculation in step 3 is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The mean of a dataset is given by the sum of the values of the dataset divided by the number of values.

In this problem, the dataset is

35, 16, 23, 42, 19

And the number of data is

N = 5

So the mean is

\bar x=\frac{35+16+23+42+19}{5}=27

So, step 1 is correct.

2)

The absolute deviation of a value in the dataset is the absolute value of its difference from the mean value:

\sigma_i = |x_i-\bar x|

Since here the mean value is

\bar x=27

Then for each of the values in this dataset, we have:

\sigma_{1}=|35-27|=8\\\sigma_{2}=|16-27|=11\\\sigma_{3}=|23-27|=4\\\sigma_{4}=|42-27|=15\\\sigma_{5}=|19-27|=8

So calculations in step 2 are also correct.

3)

The mean absolute deviation is given by the sum of the absolute deviations for each data divided by the number of values in the dataset.

Therefore in this problem, it is:

\bar \sigma = \frac{\sum \sigma_i}{N}=\frac{8+11+4+15+8}{5}=9.2

While the result reported by Dora is 9.5: therefore, this step is not correct.

The ratio of Ed's toy cars to Pete's toy cars was initially 5:2. After Ed gave 30 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal numbe
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

140 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2

Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars

Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number

Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x

Number of Pete car is represented as 2x

Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows

5x-30=2x+30

Collect the like terms

5x-2x= 30+30

3x= 60

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x/3=60/3

x=20

Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x

5(20)

= 100 cars

Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x

2(20)

= 40 cars

Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows

= 100+40

= 140 toy cars

Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether
