Answer:

B) is correct; on average, each bag of candy has a weight that is 2.6 oz different than the mean weight of 5 oz.

To find the mean absolute deviation, we first find the mean.  Find the sum of the data points and divide by the number of data points (without the outlier, 21, in it):

(10+3+7+3+4+6+10+1+2+4)/10 = 50/10 = 5

Now we find the difference between each data point and the mean, take its absolute value, and find their sum:

|10-5|+|3-5|+|7-5|+|3-5|+|4-5|+|6-5|+|10-5|+|1-5|+|2-5|+|4-5| =

5+2+2+2+1+1+5+4+3+1 = 26

We now divide this by the number of data points:

26/10 = 2.6

This is a measure of how much each bag of candy varies from the mean.

What is the surface area of the above composite object made out of two rectangular prisms?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  550 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A net can be drawn as shown in the first figure attached. Each square represents 5 mm by 5 mm, so is 25 mm^2. Altogether, there are 22 of them, so the total area is ...

  (25 mm^2)·22 = 550 mm^2

The second attachment shows that net folded up to make the given figure.

_____

In the first attachment, the green shades represent the left- and right-side faces. (Darker green is left side.) The red and blue shades represent the front- and back-side faces. The white rectangles represent the top and bottom faces. The dark black lines are the cut lines. If you want to fold the figure up, the lighter lines are the fold lines.

The second attachment is just verification that all faces are accounted for and the net actually corresponds to the given figure.

Answer:
294.14cm^2

Explanation:

First find the area of the whole piece of paper:
32*14=448

Then find the area of the two semicircles, semicircle + semicircle = 1 circle:

Area of a circle= (radius squared)(pi):
(7^2)(3.14) = 153.86

Subtract the area of the two semicircles from the whole paper area:
448-153.86 = 294.14


I hope this isn’t too confusing :)

What is the length of the unknown side?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Hi there!

The correct answer is: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

knowing this a right triangle you can solve this problem in two ways

Method One: Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 then plug in the values

(12)^2 + (16)^2 = c^2 this will come out to be 400 = c^2

square root both sides and you get c = 20

Method Two: Pythagorean Identities

if you ever learned the Pythagorean identity 3,4,5

this triangle is indeed a 3,4,5 triangle it's just that each side is multiplied by the factor 4

so in this case since you know the missing side should be 5 you just multiply 5 by 4 and you get 20
