Answer:

George's mistake would be:

Instead of 2x + 40, she has made - x + 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope - Intercept Form = y = mx + b

y + 20 = 2(x +20)

y + 20 = 2x + 40

- 20 - 20

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

y = 2x + 20

(Should have been the answer)

BUT,

George's Solving:

y + 20 = 2(x + 20)

y + 20 = -x + 20

George's Mistake would be her miscalculation during her 2nd step. Where instead of distributing 2 to (x + 20), she has changed it to -x + 20, when in reality, it should have been 2x + 40.

Associations In Data:Question 10

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

$\bar X = \frac{62+63+68+72+79+80+83+93+94+95}{10}= 78.9$

$|62-78.9| = 16.9$

$|63-78.9| = 15.9$

$|68-78.9| = 10.9$

$|72-78.9| = 6.9$

$|79-78.9| = 0.1$

$|80-78.9| = 1.1$

$|83-78.9| = 4.1$

$|93-78.9| = 14.1$

$|94-78.9| = 15.1$

$|95-78.9| = 16.1$

$MAD = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n |X_i -\bar X|}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$MAD =\frac{16.9+15.9+10.9+6.9+0.1+1.1+4.1+14.1+15.1+16.1}{10}= 10.12$

And the best anwer is

10.12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data given:

62 63 68 72 79 80 83 93 94 95

And we need to begin finding the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X = \frac{62+63+68+72+79+80+83+93+94+95}{10}= 78.9$

Now we can find the mean absolute deviation like this:

$|62-78.9| = 16.9$

$|63-78.9| = 15.9$

$|68-78.9| = 10.9$

$|72-78.9| = 6.9$

$|79-78.9| = 0.1$

$|80-78.9| = 1.1$

$|83-78.9| = 4.1$

$|93-78.9| = 14.1$

$|94-78.9| = 15.1$

$|95-78.9| = 16.1$

And finally we can find the mean abslute deviation with the following formula:

$MAD = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n |X_i -\bar X|}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$MAD =\frac{16.9+15.9+10.9+6.9+0.1+1.1+4.1+14.1+15.1+16.1}{10}= 10.12$

And the best anwer is

Find the slope, or rate of change, from the graph.

TEA [102]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is rise over run

or y change divided by x change

to find the slope you need to find points on the graph that meet exact points on the graph

i see (0,1) and (2,0)

to find slope without graph it would be (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

in this case (0-1)/(2-0)

=-1/2

with graph you can count that it goes down -1 squares and to the right 2 squares

hope this helps

PLEASE HELP -7y + 11 = 75 + y

Masja [62]

Answer:

y = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-7y + 11 = 75 + y

Bring the "y" variable on one side, and rest on the other.

Rearranging, we get,

-7y - y = 75 - 11

-8y = 64

-y = 8

y = -8

Hope it helps :)

What is the value of x? Please help! Thanks!

leonid [27]

Answer:

x=75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.

42 50

------ = ----------

42+63 50+x

42 50

------ = ----------

105 50+x

Using cross products

42(50+x) = 50*(105)

2100+42x = 5250

Subtract 2100 from each side

2100-2100+42x = 5250-2100

42x =3150

Divide by 42

42x/42 = 3150/42

x = 75
