Let the third side = x.

The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side

14 + 9 > x

23 > x

14 + x > 9

x > -5

9 + x > 14

x > 5

So 5 < x < 23

Homer is giving some cookies to each of

Stells [14]

Answer:

7 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 brothers

First , Second, Third

Let the total number cookies be represented by A

1 cookie = 1

Working backwards, we start from the third brother

If we work backwards

It means he gave everything away

We start from the youngest

He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie

This means,

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

The second brother

He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies

Half of what is left from brother

= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie

= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2

= 1.5 + 1/2

= 2 cookies

For the first brother

He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie

= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies

= 3 1/2 + 1/2

= 4 cookies

The first brother got 4 cookies

The second brother got 2 cookies

The third broth got 1 cookies

In a sample of n = 6 scores, 5 of the scores are each above the mean by one point. Where is the 6th score located relative to th

den301095 [7]

The mean of a dataset is the sum of all data elements divided by the count of the elements.

The location of the 6th score relative to the mean is 5 points below the mean

Let:

$\bar x \to$ Mean

$a \to$ 5 scores

$b \to$ 6th scores

Given that:

$n = 6$

The 5 scores that are 1 above the mean implies that:

$a = \bar x + 1$

The mean of a dataset is calculated using:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$\bar x =\frac{5a + b}{6}$

$\bar x =\frac{5(\bar x + 1) + b}{6}$

Open brackets

$\bar x =\frac{5\bar x + 5 + b}{6}$

Multiply both sides by 6

$6\bar x =5\bar x + 5 + b$

Make b the subject

$b = 6\bar x -5\bar x - 5$

$b = \bar x - 5$

This means that the 6th score is 5 points below the mean
