3 0

We can find the median by using the formula:

(N+1/2) th item

For example:

Given data: 4,6,3,5,7

We have to arrange the data into ascending order:

=3,4,5,6,7

N(total no of items)=5

Now,

Median=(N+1/2)th item

 =(5+1/2) th item

 =(6/2) th item

 = 3rd item

Median=5

Hope it helps

Good luck on your assignment

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 what percent of 80 is 25, 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 x, since x 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 x and on the right side of the equation, we have 25 ÷ 80 which gives us 0.3125. 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.
