Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a number y which is a positive integer and that:

y = x_n...x_5x_4x_3x_2x_1x_0

Where;

x_{0} = digit at 10⁰ => one's place (units place)

x_1 = digit at 10¹ => 10's place (tens place)

x_{2} = digit at 10² => 100's place (hundreds place)

x_{3} = digit at 10³ => 1000's place (thousands place)

.

.

.

x_{n} = digit at 10ⁿ place

Then;

y = x_{0} * 10⁰ + x_1 * 10¹ + x_{2} * 10² + x_{3} * 10³ + x_{4} * 10⁴ + x_5 * 10⁵ + . . . + x_{n} * 10ⁿ

<em>Since 10⁰ = 1, let's rewrite y as follows;</em>

y = x_{0}  + x_1 * 10¹ + x_{2} * 10² + x_{3} * 10³ + x_{4} * 10⁴ + x_5 * 10⁵ + . . . + x_{n} * 10ⁿ

Now, to test if y is divisible by 11, replace 10 in the equation above by -1. Since 10 divided by 11 gives -1 (mod 11)     [mod means modulus]

y = x_{0}  + x_1 * (-1)¹ + x_{2} * (-1)² + x_{3} * (-1)³ + x_{4} * (-1)⁴ + x_5 * (-1)⁵ + . . . + x_{n} * (-1)ⁿ

=> y =  x_{0}  - x_1 + x_{2} - x_{3} + x_{4} - x_5 + . . . + x_{n} (-1)ⁿ (mod 11)

Therefore, it can be seen that, y is divisible by 11 if and only if alternating sum of its digits x_{0}  - x_1 + x_{2} - x_{3} + x_{4} - x_5 + . . . + x_{n} (-1)ⁿ is divisible by 11

<em>Let's take an example</em>

Check if the following is divisible by 11.

i. 1859

<em>Solution</em>

1859 is divisible by 11 if and only if the alternating sum of its digit is divisible by 11. i.e if (1 - 8 + 5 - 9) is divisible by 11.

1 - 8 + 5 - 9 = -11.

Since -11 is divisible by 11 so is 1859

ii. 31415

<em>Solution</em>

31415 is divisible by 11 if and only if the alternating sum of its digit is divisible by 11. i.e if (3 - 1 + 4 - 1 + 5) is divisible by 11.

3 - 1 + 4 - 1 + 5 = 10.

Since 10 is not divisible by 11 so is 31415 not divisible.

Katen [24]

The "sample" with "mean absolute deviation" indicate about a sample mean absolute deviation is being used as an estimator of the mean absolute deviation of a​ population

  • Mean of the sample MAD=3.3
  • Population MAD =6.4

<h3>What does this indicate about a sample mean absolute deviation used as an estimator of the mean absolute deviation of a​ population?</h3>

Generally,  The MAD measures the average dispersion around the mean of a given data collection.

1/n \sum_i-1^{n} |x_i -m(X)|

In conclusion, for the corresponding same to mean

the sample  mean absolute deviation

7,7  ↔         0

7,21  ↔         7

7,22         ↔    7.5

21,7        ↔          7

21,21 ↔     0

21,22 ↔    0.5

22,7   ↔     7.5

Therefore

  • Mean of the sample MAD=3.3
  • Population MAD =6.4

How many solutions does the following equation have 3(X + 9) = 2x + 54
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

One solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 9) = 2x + 54

3x + 27 = 2x + 54

3x + 27 - 2x = 2x + 54 - 2x

x + 27 = 54

x + 27 - 27 = 54 - 27

x = 27
