Answer:

3 pounds of peanuts and 2 pounds of cashews

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the pounds of peanuts and y be the pounds of cashews

Greta wants to make 5 pounds of a nut mix using peanuts and cashews.

So, x+y=5 ----- A

Cost of 1 pound of peanuts = $4

Cost of x pounds of peanuts = 4x

Cost of 1 pound of cashews = $9

Cost of y pounds of cashews = 9y

Her budget requires the mixture to cost her $6 per pound

So, cost of mixture of x pounds of peanuts and y pounds of cashews is 6(x+y)

So, 4x+9y=6(x+y) --- B

Plot A and B

x+y=5 ---Blue

4x+9x=6(x+y) ---Green

Refer the attached figure

Intersection point = (x,y)=(3,2)

Hence she should use 3 pounds of peanuts and 2 pounds of cashews

The following data show the weight, in ounces, of 10 different bags of candy:
LuckyWell [14K]
B) is correct; on average, each bag of candy has a weight that is 2.6 oz different than the mean weight of 5 oz.

To find the mean absolute deviation, we first find the mean.  Find the sum of the data points and divide by the number of data points (without the outlier, 21, in it):
(10+3+7+3+4+6+10+1+2+4)/10 = 50/10 = 5

Now we find the difference between each data point and the mean, take its absolute value, and find their sum:
|10-5|+|3-5|+|7-5|+|3-5|+|4-5|+|6-5|+|10-5|+|1-5|+|2-5|+|4-5| =
5+2+2+2+1+1+5+4+3+1 = 26

We now divide this by the number of data points:
26/10 = 2.6

This is a measure of how much each bag of candy varies from the mean.
