The rules of a game allow a team to score either 2 points or 5 points, depending on the nature of the scoring play. If the final

score between two teams was 34 to 29, and there were 18 scoring plays altogether, how many 5-point plays were there?

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total Number of scorings (both Teams) = 18

Let :

x = number of 5 point score ; y = number of 2 point score

Total points scored = 34 + 29 = 63

x + y = 18 - - - (1)

5x + 2y = 63 - - (2)

From (1)

y = 18 - x

In (2) ; we have ;

5x + 2(18 - x) = 63

5x + 36 - 2x = 63

3x + 36 = 63

3x = 63 - 36

3x = 27

x = 9

9 5-point plays

Sebastian got estimates from 7 companies for his kitchen remodel: $ 27,500 ; $31,000 ; $36,000 ; $92, 000; $29,000 ; $30,500 ; $
Lerok [7]

We have been given that Sebastian got estimates from 7 companies for his kitchen remodel: $ 27,500 ; $31,000 ; $36,000 ; $92,000; $29,000 ; $30,500 ; $28,500. We are asked to find the best measure of center for the given data.

We can see that our given data set has a large valued data point that is $92,000.

We know that mean is very much affected by large valued outliers. The data point $92,000 will increase the mean. Therefore, mean is not a best measure of center for given data.

We know that median is very less affected by outliers, therefore, median will be best measure of center for the given data.

Solve for y.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

3.23(y – 18) - 19.17 = -19.17

3.23y - 18 x 3.23 = -19.17 + 19.17

3.23y - 58.14 = 0

3.23y = 58.14

3.23y/3.23 = 58.14/3.23

y = 18
