To solve this, we need to know how to find the mean of a set of data and how to find the median of a set of data.
To find the mean, or often called the average, we should add all of the values up, and then divide it by the number of values.
588+838+691+818+846+725+605+732+750 = 6593
6593/9=732.556
The problem tells us we should round to the nearest point, so our mean credit score is 733.
To find the median, we need to order the data from lowest to highest and find out which credit score(s) are right in the middle. If there are 2 in the middle, we simply should add them and divide by 2 to get our median. An easy way to do this is after you order them, you simply cross off one on each side until there is only 1 (or 2) left.
588 605 691 725 732 750 818 838 846
605 691 725 732 750 818 838
691 725 732 750 818
725 732 750
732
Since we only have one number in the middle, we are done with the median! We know our median is 732.
Now we simply need to compare them and subtract the lower one from the higher one.
Mean:733
Median: 732
733>732
We know the mean is bigger, so we should subtract the median from the mean.
733=732=1
Using the logic above, we can see that the mean is 1 point higher than the median.
Number of red cards including 2 red queens = 26
Number of black queens = 2
Therefore, number of red cards including 2 red queens and 2 black queens = 26 + 2 = 28
Number of cards neither a red card nor a queen = 52 - 28 = 24
The answer is no solution.
Explanation: x+4 = x+8
-x -x
4 cannot equal 8
Answer is No solution
No, you got the inequalities the wrong way.
In negative numbers, it is how much lower it is than 0. For example, -22 is 22 less than 0. And -2 is 2 less than 0. Here, -22 is actually less than -2 because it is farther below 0 than -2.
You can understand this better if you graph it on a number line.
So, -12 >-15. (-15 is 3 less than -12).
-1/3 >-1.
-2>-21.
