Complete question :
Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test papers. He knows that the other 4 students scored as follows: 60, 62, 56, 57. He also knows that the average score is 59.2. What is the score on the missing paper?
Answer:
61
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Total number of students = 4 + 1 missing = 5
Score on the four avaliable papers = 60, 62, 56, 57
Average score of the 5 papers = 59.2
Score on missing paper :
Sum of each score / number of papers
Sum of each score = sum of available scores + missing score
Let missing score = m
(60 + 62 + 56 + 57 + m) = 235 + m
Recall:
Average = total sum / number of observations
Hence,
59.2 = (235 + m) / 5
59.2 × 5 = 235 + m
296 = 235 + m
m = 296 - 235
m = 61
Missing score = 61
There is no exact rule for lines of best fit. However, in general, there should be roughly the same amount above as below. So, if we are following this rule, there should be about 4 below as well.
Answer:
(1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved in two ways: mathematically and graphically.
<u>Graphing</u>
Plot both lines and find where they intersect. See the attachment.
The intersection points are (1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)
<u>Mathematical</u>
y + 2x = 10
y = 10 - 2x
y = 3x² + 7x - 4
10 - 2x = 3x² + 7x - 4
3x² + 9x - 14 = 0
Solve this using the quadratic equation:
x = 1.13 and -4.13
Use these two values of x to find y:
y = 10 - 2x
y = 10 - 2(1.13)
y = 7.74
y = 10 -2x
y = 10 -2(-4.13)
y = 18.26
The two points are:
(1.13, 7.74) and (-4.13, 18.26)
x will represent the first unknow number
6x will represent the second number
the two numbers together will equal 21
6x + x = 21 combine like terms
7x =21 divide both sides by 7
x =3
