Answer:
The answer is A. (an even number)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x 27 is equivalent to 54 and 54 is an even number.
so we know that each m&m weighs about 2g.
the next line says to write a direct variation equation.
(definition: mathematical relationship between two variables that can be expressed by an equation in which one variable is equal to a constant times the other)
we then make the equation ( w=xm), then we use that equation to figure out the next line, which is to find the amount of m&ms that would fit in a bag of 1000.
(my head cant really process part a cause of a recent headache, so sorry if its wrong)
the answer to part b would be 500, which you can provide evidence based off of your part a equation.
Find the mean ( average):
105 + 104 + 110 + 112 + 114 + 106 + 108 +109 = 868
Mean = 868 / 8 = 108.5
Standard deviation:
108.5 - 105 = 3.5, 3.5^2 = 12.25
108.5 - 104 = 4, 4^2 = 16
110 - 108.5 = 1.5, 1.5^2 = 2.25
112 - 108.5 = 3.5, 3.5^2 = 12.25
114 - 108.5 = 5.5, 5.5^2 = 30.25
108.5 - 106 = 2.5, 2.5^2 = 6.25
108.5 - 108 = 0.5, 0.5^2 = 0.25
109 - 108.5 = 0.5, 0.5^2 = 0.25
12.25 + 16 +2.25 + 12.25 + 30.25 +6.25+0.25+0.25 = 79.75
79.75/8 = 9.96875, SQRT(9.96875) = 3.1573
Standard Deviation = 3.1573
108.8 +/- 1.96 *(3.1573/sqrt(8) = 110.687 and 106.312
110.687 - 108.5 = 2.19
108.5 - 106.312 = 2.19
Margin of error = +/- 2.19
9/12 in simplest form would be 3/4 because you divide bothe 9 and 12 dived by three because what you do to the denominator you do to the nominator so after you divide 9/12 by 3 you would have 3/4 which 3/4 is 9/12 in simplest form
