To solve this problem, you'd want to start by finding the mean of the given numbers. To find the mean, add all the numbers together and divide by how many there are.
Next, you'll see that the question says one of the rents changes from $1130 to $930. So find the mean of all the numbers again, except include $930 in your calculation instead of $1130.
I got $990 as the mean for the given numbers, and $970 as the mean after replacing the $1130 with $930. Subtracting the two means gives you $20. So the mean decreased by $20.
Now for the median, all you need to do is find the median of the given numbers and compare them with the median of the new data. Because there are ten terms, you have to add the middle two numbers and divide by two. $990 + $1020 = 2010. 2010÷2 = $1005 as the first median.
The new rent is 930, so you have to reorder the data so it goes from least to greatest again. 745, 915, 925, 930, 965, 990, 1020, 1040, 1050, 1120. After finding the median again you get 977.5. Subtracting the two medians gives you $27.5 as how much the median decreased. Hope this helps!
Answer:
I can tell you the first one and you can figure it out from there. 70 is 40% persent of what number? Well, we can chop 40% to 20% and chop 70 in half and we get 35. So 35 = 20% So we multiply 35 by five, and get 175. So 70 is 40% of 175.
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically you need to make the denominator (whats on the bottom) the same, lets take the first one for example
2 3/4, lets put this all over 4 for the same denominator.
2=8/4, and then add this to 3/4 to get 11/4.
the second part will work the same way,
start by making 1 into 8/8. add this to 1/8 to get 9/8
now we have to add 11/4 and 9/8. to do this, you have to find the smallest multiple between the two (for example: between 6 and 4 it would be 12, since 4*3= 12, and 2*6=12)
now, the smallest common multiple between 4 and 8 would just be 8
11/4= 22/8, since you multiply the bottom and top by the same amount so it still equals 11/4, but your denominator will now be 8.
now you can subtract. 22/8- 9/8= 13/8
final answer: 13/8
try the rest yourself since this is important for later math, hoped this helped :)
Kim because just cause man. 14/12 can be turned into 7/6... boom knowledge??
