Work Shown:
Multiply across the rows to form a third column. Example: 9*90 = 810 in the first row.
The values in the third column add to 810+1440+1050 = 3300
Divide this over the total number of people which is 9+18+15 = 42
The mean is 3300/42 =78.571 approximately which rounds to 78.6
Answer:
To ensure uniformity on an exam
Or
To test whether you can distinguish between the two formats
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form is when a straight line equation is rearranged in the form:
Therefore y=2x+4 in standard form is
The slope-intercept form is when a a straight line equation is written in the form:
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
The given equation is
This is already in slope-intercept form:
The standard form and slope-intercept forms are just formats.
Your instructor may restrict you to leave your answer in one of these formats maybe for uniformity on a test.
You may also decide to rewrite an equation in slope-intercept form, so that you can easily identify the slope and y-intercept easily for graphing purpose.
