Answer:

There are approximately 171 families in the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentile meaning:

When a value V is said to be in the xth percentile of a set, x% of the values in the set are lower than V and (100-x)% of the values in the set are higher than V.

Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 23 hours or less for the week. The 14th percentile of the data is 23 hours.

This means that 24 is 14% of the total number of families.

Approximately how many families are in the sample?

Using a rule of three.

24 - 0.14

x - 1

0.14x = 24

x = 24/0.14

x = 171.4

Rounding to the nearest integer

There are approximately 171 families in the sample.

Find the absolute value of 1 and - 1
AlekseyPX
The absolute value of BOTH of those numbers is ' 1 '.

==========================================

Oh !  Wait just a second.  Did you mean for the  1  and the  -1  to be combined
in some way  ?  If that's what you had in mind,  then you'll have to be more
specific.   "And" is no mathematical operation that I know of.

There are 14 teams in a basketball league.
Talja [164]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of teams = 14

Each team plays every other team twice ;

Using the combination formula :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!

14C2 = 14! ÷ (14 - 2)! 2!

14C2 = 14! ÷ (12)! 2!

14C2 = (14 * 13) ÷ 2 * 1

14C2 = 182 / 2

14C2 = 91

Hence, since they are going to be playing each other twice :

2(14C2)

2 * 91 = 182games
