Answer: C, the mean is most likely about 28 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation: The mean of a data set is the average value. When looking at this histogram, you can determine how many bags were checked in  total by adding up the frequencies for each weight.

<u>Add the Weights </u>

1+16(4)+20(5)+24(6)+28(5)+32(4)+36(3)+40+48+52+56+60

**16(4)=64. The number in parenthesis represents how many times each weight occurred in the data set. To make it easier, you can combine some of these instead of typing the extended equation into your calculator.

12+64+100+144+140+128+108+208= 904

<u>Solve for the Mean</u>

<u></u>

To do this, divide 904 by the number of bags checked (32).

Mean: 28.25

**The answer is MORE than 28, but it would round down because the decimal is less than half.

Hope this helps,

LaciaMelodii :)

Natali [406]
Answer:

Percentage rise in patients from 2004 to 2014 = 7.59%

Explanation:

The number of patients in 2004 = 39080

The number of patients in 2014 = 42045

Increase in the number of patients = (The number of patients in 2014) - (The number of patients in 2004)

Rise in the number of patients = 42045 - 39080

Rise in the number of patients = 2965

\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage rise in patients = }\frac{\text{Rise in the number of patients}}{\text{Number of patients in 2004}}\times100 \\ Percentage\text{ rise in patients = }\frac{2965}{39080}\times100 \\ \text{Percentage rise in patients = }7.59\text{ \%} \end{gathered}

Percentage rise in patients from 2004 to 2014 = 7.59%
