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.

What is 40 meters in 8 seconds?
Basile [38]

5 meters/ 1 second because if you 40 and 8 you will get 5 and divided 8 by 8 and you get 1, you just divide the denominator by both numerator and denominator.

The area of Sahara desert is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert. If the sum of their areas is 4,000,000 square miles, find the
ryzh [129]
X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000

x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000

The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²

To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).
