its infinity.
x can be any number in the world
The mean of a data sample can be found by adding all the terms in the data sample and dividing the result by the number of terms. In the first case we have the following data sample:
The mean of this sample is:
The mean absolute deviation is the sum of the differences between each data value and the mean, divided by the number of data values, the formula is:
Therefore, we must calculate the positive difference between each value and the mean, add them up, and divide the result by the number of data points in the sample. In the case of the first sample we get:
Solving the operation:
If done this way, all the results for each data set must be correct.
1. 0 > 3x - 3 - 6
0 > 3x -9
9 > 3x
3 > x
It would be a closed circle starting from 3 going to the right.
2. 4x + 1 - 1 >/ -8
4x >/ -8
x >/ -2
It would be an open circle starting from -2 going to the right.
3. -1 </ 2n + 4 - 5
-1 </ 2n -1
0 </ 2n
Undefined.
4. -6 > 5n + 5 + 4
-6 > 5n + 9
-15 > 5n
-3 > n
It would be a closed circle going to the right
To get the *percent increase* from week 1 to week 2, we calculate the change in distance from week 1 to week 2 (13.5 - 12.5 = 1 mile) over the week 1 distance (12.5 miles). Doing that, we find that Matthew increased his distance by
1/12.5 = 0.08, or 8%
We’re given that he’ll increase his distance by the same percentage from week 2 to 3, so to find his week 3 distance, we can find 8% of the week 2 distance and add that on. 8% of 13.5 miles is 0.08 x 13.5 = 1.08 miles, so by week 3, he’ll be running 13.5 + 1.08 = 14.58 miles.
So the question is asking what is 6.2% of 1000? Then rounding our decimals?
