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.

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the third step, take the square root of both sides.

Third Step:

(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}

Thus, the fourth step is:

\sqrt{(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2}=\sqrt{ \frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}} }

The left side cancels:

(x+\frac{b}{2a})=\pm\sqrt{ \frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}} }

Solve for x:
pentagon [3]

Answer:

2<x<3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-4<8 AND 9x+5>23

Solve the first inequality

4x-4<8

Add 4 to each side

4x-4+4 <8+4

4x<12

Divide by 4

4x/4 <12/4

x <3

Solve the second inequality

9x+5>23

Subtract 5 from each side

9x+5-5>23-5

9x >18

Divide by 9

9x/9>18/9

x>2

Put together

x<3 and x>2

2<x<3
