Mathematics

KengaRu [80]3 years ago

<em>We </em><em>can </em><em>find </em><em>the </em><em>median </em><em>by </em><em>using </em><em>the </em><em>formula:</em>

<em>(</em><em>N+</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>th </em><em>item</em>

<em>For </em><em>example:</em>

<em>Given </em><em>data:</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>,</em><em>6</em><em>,</em><em>3</em><em>,</em><em>5</em><em>,</em><em>7</em>

<em>We </em><em>have </em><em>to </em><em>arrange </em><em>the </em><em>data </em><em>into </em><em>ascending</em><em> </em><em>order</em><em>:</em>

<em>=</em><em>3</em><em>,</em><em>4</em><em>,</em><em>5</em><em>,</em><em>6</em><em>,</em><em>7</em>

<em>N(</em><em>total </em><em>no </em><em>of </em><em>items)</em><em>=</em><em>5</em>

<em>Now,</em>

<em>Median=</em><em>(</em><em>N+</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em>th </em><em>item</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>(</em><em>5</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>th </em><em>item</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em>(</em><em>6</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>th </em><em>item</em>

<em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>r</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>item</em>

<em>Median=</em><em>5</em>

<em>Hope </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>helps</em>

<em>Good </em><em>luck</em><em> on</em><em> your</em><em> assignment</em>

To find the median, put all numbers into ascending order and work into the middle by crossing off numbers at each end. If there are a lot of items of data, add 1 to the number of items of data and then divide by 2 to find which item of data will be the median

What percent of 80 is 25
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: 31.25%

Step-by-step explanation: To answer the question <em>what percent of 80 is 25</em>, we translate the question into an equation.

So we have "what percent" that's x, "of 80" means times 80, "is 25" = 25.

Now to solve for <em>x</em>, since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 80, we need to divide by 80 on both sides of the equation. On the left side of the equation the 80's cancel and we have <em>x</em> and on the right side of the equation, we have 25 ÷ 80 which gives us 0<em>.</em>3125. Now, remember that we want to right our answer as a percent so to write 0.3125 as a percent, we move the decimal point 2 places to the right and we get 31.25%.

Therefore, 31.25% of 80 is 25.

Find the equation of a line having slope -8 and y intercept -3
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

y = -8x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y intercept of a basic y = mx +  b equation you simply find the constant (In Algebra, a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number). To find the slope of a basic y = mx + b equation find the value of m. The value of m will be the slope.
