Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

D2 = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

given is a data set as

24, 64, 25, 40, 45, 34, 14, 26, 28, 24, 58, 51

We have to find the second decile for the above

Arranging in ascending order we get

14, 24, 24, 25,26,28, 34, 40, 45, 51, 58, 64

2nd decile is equal to 20th percentile

20th percentile formula entry appearing which sorts 20% below and 80% above.

i.e. (20%*(14+1)) = 3rd entry

Thus 20th percentile is24.

D2 = 24

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative exponential can be represented with the help of fractions. By this way, we also make the negative exponential disappear. For example, we can write:

$a^{-1} = \frac{1}{a}$

The explanation is this:

Since $a^{0}=1, \frac{1}{a}=\frac{a^{0} }{a^{1} } = a^{0-1} =a^{-1}$

According to this definition, we can simplify our problem in the following way:

$(4x)^{-1} = \frac{1}{(4x)^{1} } = \frac{1}{4x}$
