No it can never be greater than the largest number in the set because an average (or a mean) is the "<span> number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number." c:</span>

A bag contains four red marbles, two green ones, one lavender one, three yellows, and one orange marble. HINT (See Example 7.] H

Murljashka [212]

Answer: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A bag contains four red marbles, two green ones, one lavender one, three yellows, and one orange marble.

Total = 4+2+1+3+1=11

To find sets of four marbles include none of the red ones, we need to exclude red marbles when we count the total number of marbles.

Then, the total marbles(exclude red) =11-4=7

Now, the combination of 7 marbles taking 4 at a time is given by :-

$^7C_4=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!3!}=35$

Hence, the number of sets of four marbles include none of the red ones = 35

What two numbers add to 9 and multiply to -70

Alborosie

X, y - the numbers

The numbers add to 9 and multiply to -70.
$x+y=9 \\
xy=-70 \\ \\
y=9-x \\
xy=-70 \\ \\
\hbox{substitute 9-x for y in the second equation:} \\
x(9-x)=-70 \\
9x-x^2=-70 \\
-x^2+9x+70=0 \\
-x^2+14x-5x+70=0 \\
-x(x-14)-5(x-14)=0 \\
(-x-5)(x-14)=0 \\
-x-5=0 \ \lor \ x-14=0 \\
x=-5 \ \lor \ x=14 \\ \\
y=9-x \\
y=9-(-5) \ \lor \ y=9-14 \\
y=14 \ \lor \ y=-5 \\ \\
(x,y)=(-5,14) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(14,-5)$

The numbers are -5 and 14.
