Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute the -6 on the left into the parentheses. you should get -36a + 30.

2. on the side right of the =, distribute the -2 to get -16 + 10a.

now it should look like -36a + 30 = -16 + 10a.

3. move the terms over to isolate the a value. subtract 30 to the right side to get -46 (-36a=-46+10a)

4. move the 10a on the right to the left by subtracting it to the other side.

(-46a=-46)

5.divide by -46 to get a=1

Over 6 days, jim jogged 6.5,5,3,2,3.5, and 4 miles. What is the mean distance that Jim jogged

bonufazy [111]

To get the mean distance that Jim jogged, you have to solve for the total miles he was able to jogged divided by the number of days he jogged.

6.5 miles + 5 miles + 3 miles + 2 miles + 3.5 miles + 4 miles = 24 miles / 6 days = 4

Therefore, the mean distance that Jim jogged is 4 miles.

PLEASE HELP W THIS I WILL Give YOU THE BRAINLIEST PLEASE ! - What does it mean to have a skewed distribution? What causes a skew

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

A) A skewed distribution in a dataset is when the median is not equal to the mean in such a manner that the bell curve is tilted to the left or right.

B) If in a data set, if there are outliers which are extremely large or extremely small in comparison to other values in that same dataset, then we can say that such a curve will be pulled towards the outlier and thus the distribution is skewed.

Also, if the curve is inclined to the left, it means there are few extreme values to the left and it is negatively skewed.

Similarly, if the curve is inclined to the right, it means there are few extreme values to the right and is positively skewed.

C) Example of a research question is;

If in a developed country where the poverty level is about 0%, if we collect the data of income of the households, we will discover majority of people with average income and very few people with extreme high levels of income. This condition means the data is positively skewed.

Marley runs 5 yards down the track from point A to point B, and then stops and runs

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

$\sqrt{61}$ =AC or 7.8102=AC

Step-by-step explanation:

If we connect a line from point A to point C we create a triangle, and we can use pythagorean theorem to find this distance. So the line from point A to point C will be our hypotenuse and the other two distances will be out side lengths.

$5^{2}+6^{2}=AC^{2}$
