Answer:

median

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to sort the numbers from largest to smallest (you could go the other way as well).

60 52 48 44 20 16 12

The median is the middle number 44 in this case. The median has 3 numbers on its left and 3 on its right (in this case). 44 has 60 52 48 or its left and 20 16 and 12 on its right.

The mean is the average. We'll call it the new average

The mean is 60 + 52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = 252

The new mean is 252 / 7 = 36

=====================

The old median is the average between the middle 2 numbers (before you added 60 you had 6 numbers)

52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = the average of 44 + 20 which 64/2 = 32

The old mean was (52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12)/6 = 32.

=======================

The median increased from 44 to 32 = 12

The mean went from 32 to 36 which is 4

Answer: the median increased more

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!! This is due tomorrow. 20 points for this.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

x=16.75 y=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

first turn the first trapezoid sideways so the side that says 8 matches with the side that says 10. This is the proportion. 8:10. The bottom of the first trapezoid says x+2. This matches with the side that says 15. Because the side that says 15 is on the bigger trapezoid, multiply by ten. Then multiply the other trapezoid by 8. We get an equation that looks like. 8x+16=150 Simplify and 8x=134 divide and we get x=16.75. Do the same for the side with y. 8y-24=50. 8y=36 y=4.5. There you have it.
