The mean is where you add all of the numbers in that set together, and divide it by the amount of numbers you have. E.g. For Set 1 - 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30 + 50 = 150 ÷ 6 = 25

For Set 2 you just repeat the process:

1. Add the numbers in the set together, this gives you a total of 111

2. Then divide 111 by 5 as you have 5 numbers, giving you 22.2

Therefore set 1 has the higher mean :)

The answer is C, set 1, 25 :)

r represents the interest rate as a decimal, and P represents the starting amount of money.

Train a travel 175 miles in a four hours. for train b y=43.5x represents its rate of speed over the same 4 hours which train tra

stepan [7]

Answer:

Train A is faster by a factor of 1.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Train A:

Distance = 175 Miles

Time = 4 Hours

Train B:

y=43.5x

To Find:

which train travels at a faster rate in by what factor =?

Solution:

The speed of the train A = $\frac{Distance}{time}$

The speed of train A = $\frac{175}{4}$

The speed of train A = 43.75 miles per hour

Speed of the train B is the slope of the given line

The standard equation of the slope of the line is

y = mx+b

where m is the slope

and we are given with

y = 43.5x

So comparing with the standard equation

m = 43.5

Hence the speed of train B is 43.5 miles per hours

Train A travels faster

$Rate =\frac{\text{speed of train A}}{\text {Speed of train B}}$

$rate = \frac{43.75}{43.5}$

rate =1.01

Let f(x)=(18)3^x. find the equation of the line between the points (-2,f(-2)) and (1,f(1))

horsena [70]

$\text{Given that,} \\\\f(x) = 18 \cdot 3^x \\\\f(-2) = 18 \cdot 3^{-2} = 2\\\\f(1) = 18 \cdot 3^1 = 54\\ \\\text{So,}~ (x_1,y_1) = (x_1, f(-2)) = (-2,2) ~\text{and}~ (x_2,y_2) = (x_2, f(1)) = (1,54)\\ \\\text{Slope,}~ m = \dfrac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \dfrac{54-2}{1+2} = \dfrac{52}3 \\\\$

$\text{Equation of line,}\\\\~~~~~~~y - y_1 = m (x-x_1)\\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3(x+2)~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Point-Slope form.]} \\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3x + \dfrac{104}3\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}{3}x + \dfrac{104} 3 +2\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}3 x +\dfrac{110}3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Slope -Intercept form}]$
