Answer:

10, 12, 12, 16, 17, 18, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has already given you most of the numbers - you can need to consider the different types of averages.

We know there is a 10, 12 (at least two 12's as it's the mode), a 16 and a 20. That's 5 numbers already.

As we know that 16 is the median, it HAS to be the 'middle' number - i.e. the 4th in the series (1st, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 7th)

That means we can now be sure that there are 2 12's, as follows:

10, 12, 12, 16, ?, ?, 20

We know we need the mean to equal 15 so...

Y/7 = 15, where Y is the sum of all 7 numbers

If we reverse this we can work out what the total of set needs to be

15*7 = 105

Therefore Y is 105

Adding the numbers we have so far together: 10 + 12 + 12 + 16 + 20 = 70

105 - 70 = 35

Therefore the last two numbers have to equal 35. As we know that 12 is the mode, one of the answers cannot be 16 as 16 would then also be the mode.

That means, as the numbers are all whole numbers, that the last in the set are 17 and 18.

To check this I then calculate the mean again:

10 + 12 + 12 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 20 = 105

105 / 7 = 15

Q/R=8/d Solve for d <br> please and thank you!
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The value of d in equation Q/R=8/d is 8R/Q.

Given an equation Q/R=8/d.

We are required to find the value of d in the given equation.

Equation is basically the relationship between two or more variables that are expressed in equal to form. The values that we enter is known as domain and the values that we get is known as range. It can be linear equation, quadratic equation, cubic equation.

The equation is :Q/R=8/d

We have to take d in right side of equal to sign and Q,R to the left side of right side of equal to sign.

d=8R/Q

Hence the value of d in equation Q/R=8/d is 8R/Q.

Jane has six different hamsters for which she has two cages, one red and one blue. She wants to put three hamsters in the red ca
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

<u>12 ways</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The different ways to choose which three hamsters to put in the red cage.

At first , she must choose one of the two of the hamsters, Felix and Oscar, because they do not get along and cannot be in the same cage.

So, the number of ways to choose one of them = 2

Then she will choose 2 from the remaining 4 hamsters (order does not matter)

The number of ways to choose 2 from 4 = 4C2 = 6

So, the total number of ways = 2 * 6 = 12

PtichkaEL [24]
This question was once asked before so I will put it here.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot.
