Find the mean of the first four test scores first.
(Add all numbers in set and divide by how many numbers there are)
81 + 87 + 71 + 89 = 328 / 4 = 82
Then, find the mean with the 85 added as the fifth term.
81 + 87 + 71 + 89 + 85 = 413 / 5 = 82.6
The impact that the 85 had on the mean test score was that the mean/average increased by 0.6.
Answer: 69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original employee be x , this means that
116% of x = 80
= 80
116x = 8000
divide through by 116
x = 8000/116
x = 68.96551724
Since we are dealing with employees , therefore x ≈ 69
This means that there were 69 employees originally
Answer:
The number is -1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming they are fractions. So we have the equation:
5/2 x + 2/3 = -7/12
We multiply through by 12 to eliminate the fractions:
5/2 * 12 x + 2/3 * 12 = -7/12 * 12
30x + 8 = -7
30x = -15
x = -15/30
x = -1/2.
Answer:
a. Decay
b. 0.5
c. 4
Explanation:
If we have a function of the form

then
a = intital amount
b = growth / decay rate factor
x = time interval
If b > 1; then the equation is modelling growth. If b < 0, then the equation is modelling decay.
Now in our case, we have

Here we see that
inital amount = a = 4
b = 1/ 2 < 0, meaning the function is modeling decay
decay factor = b = 1/2
Therefore, the answers are
a. Decay
b. 0.5
c. 4
