First, reorder the numbers for each person. 
The median is basically the middle number. If there are 2 middle numbers, then take the average of the two of them. 

Pedro: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9    
The 2 middle numbers are 6 and 7. The average of 6 and 7 is 6.5 .
Median = 6.5

Alex: 3, 5, 5, 5, 9, 9
The 2 middle numbers are 5 and 5; so basically, the average is 5.
Median = 5

Jaime: 3, 4, 6, 8, 8, 9
The 2 middle numbers are 6 and 8 and thus, the average is 7.
Median = 7



So the answer should be Jaime.

You just purchased two coins at a price of $670 each. Because one of the coins is more collectible, you believe that its value w
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The value of first coin will be $151.51 more than second coin in 15 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have just purchased two coins at a price of $670 each.

You believe that first coin's value will increase at a rate of 7.1% and second coin's value 6.5% per year.

We have to calculate the first coin's value after 15 years by using the formula

A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^{n}

Where A = Future value

           P = Present value

           r = rate of interest

           n = time in years

Now we put the values

A=670(1+\frac{7.1}{100})^{15}

A=670(1+0.071)^{15}

A=670(1.071)^{15}

A = (670)(2.797964)

A = 1874.635622 ≈ $1874.64

Now we will calculate the value of second coin.

A=670(1+\frac{6.5}{100})^{15}

A=670(1+0.6.5)^{15}

A=670(1.065)^{15}

A = 670 × 2.571841

A = $1723.13

The difference of the value after 15 years = 1874.64 - 1723.13 = $151.51

The value of first coin will be $151.51 more than second coin in 15 years.

A line passes through the points (2, –2) and (–6, 2). The point (a, –4) is also on the line. What is the value of a?
leonid [27]

Answer:

The value of a=6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>step 1:- </u>

<u>col linearity of three points :- </u>

We know that slopes of two parallel lines are equal.If two lines having the same slope pass through a common point ,then two lines will coincide . Hence ,If A,B,C are three points in the X Y- plane, then they will lie on a line,

that is three points are col linear if and only if Slope of AB= slope of BC

<u>step 2:-</u>

Since the given three points are col-linear, we have

Slope of AB= slope of BC

given points are A(2,-2) ,B(-6,2) and C(a,-4)

<u>Step 3 :-</u>

Slope of AB= slope of BC

\frac{2-(-2)}{-6-2} =\frac{-4-2}{a+6}

\frac{-1}{2} =\frac{-6}{a+6}   by cross multiplication we get \\a+6=12\\Step 4:-The value of a=6
