<h3>Answer: C) 116</h3>

=========================================

Explanation:

We want the median to be as large as possible, so let's go for the largest answer choice and see if it works or not. I'll show that it doesn't work.

So we have 5 values, in which the median is 346. This must mean there are 2 values larger than 346 (since this value is in slot 3, aka the middle). But if one value is 346, then the other 4 values must be 1 so that we end up with a mean of 70, as shown below

add up the five values: 1+1+1+1+346 = 350

divide by five: 350/5 = 70

In the set {1, 1, 1, 1, 346} the median is 1,and not 346. So this is where things fall apart. If we wanted 346 in the middle, then we'd need to have two other values larger than 346, or equal to it. However that would make the sum get over 350. We want the sum to be 350 so dividing it over 5 leads to the proper mean of 70.

-------------

The median can be 116 as this example shows

{1, 1, 116, 116, 116}

sum = 1+1+116+116+116 = 350

divide that sum over five: 350/5 = 70

we get the proper mean we want

A paint store sells exterior paint for $35.75 a gallon and paint rollers for $6.00 each. Write an equation in standard form for
VLD [36.1K]
The total price for the gallons of paint will be 35.75p

The total price for the rollers will be 6r

So the equation if the customer have 190 will be
price for gallons of paint + price for rollers = 190
35.75p + 6r = 190

An athlete ran 800 meters in 160 seconds. What was his rate in meters per minute? Enter your answer in the box.
FromTheMoon [43]

The athlete's average speed was 300 meters/minute.

<h3>How to calculate the speed of the athlete?</h3>

To calculate the speed of the athlete we must perform the following operations.

Divide the distance into the total time:

  • 800m ÷ 160sec = 5m/sec

Transform the value from seconds to minutes, for which we must multiply 5 by 60 because each minute is made up of 60 seconds.

  • 5m/sec × 60sec = 300m/min

According to the above, the average speed of the athlete is 300m/min.
