Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation for part 1.

To find the mean, find total then divide by number of data set

For college salaries

Sum=41+67+53+48+45+60+59+55+52+52+50+59+44+49+52=786

Number of samples=15

Mean= 786/15 =52.4 * $1000=$52400

For High school salaries

Sum=23+33+36+29+25+43+42+38+27+25+33+41+29+33+35=492

Number of samples =15

Mean= 492/15 = 32.8 *$1000= $32800

College grads make more money according to the means.

Explanation for part 2.

Treat the data as part of coordinates and graph then on the same scale and axis to visualize the trend and make comparison.In this case, the graph for the line of best fit is linear as attached.

I = Prt

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$r=3.5\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=5\ years\\ P=\$1,200\\ I=\$210\\r=?$

substitute in the formula above

$210=1,200(5r)$

solve for r

$r=210/6,000$

$r=0.035$

convert to percentage (multiply by 100)

$r=3.5\%$

Find the mean of this data set: {– 78, -12, 3, – 44}

blagie [28]

Answer:

Answer: A. -32.75

$\dashrightarrow{ \tt{mean = \frac{ \sum f(n)}{n} }} \\$

• f(n) are the values of the set

• n is the number of items

$\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{mean = \frac{ - 78 + ( - 12) + 3 + ( - 44)}{4} }} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \tt{ \frac{ - 131}{4} }} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \boxed{ \tt{mean = - 32.75}}}$
