This equation is in point-slope form. To change it to standard form, you must distribute -1/2 to (x+4) to get -1/2x-2. Your equation should now be y-8 = -1/2x-2. You should then add 1/2x to both sides (to cancel out -1/2x on the right side). Now, you should have y+1/2x-8 = -2. Finally, add 8 to both sides (to cancel out -8 on the left side) and flip the x and the y to get a final answer of 1/2x+y = 6.
If this is an exponent, it would be 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 in expanded form.
Gallon of milk: $3.49
3lbs oranges: $1.14(3) = $3.42
Box of cereal: $3.46
Front end estimation is taking the number in front and the rest of the numbers coming after it will be zeroes.
Using front end estimation:
$3.49 => $3.00
$3.42 => $3.00
$3.46 => $3.00
Add all these up; Shen estimated the total cost of the groceries would be $9.00.
Mean -to-MAD ratio is the division of the Mean by the Mean Absolute Deviaion (MAD). For the set 1, mean / MAD is 10.3 / 1. 6 = 6.4375; and for the set 2, Mean / MAD is: 12.7 / 1.5 = 8.467. This is a measure of disperssion of a set of values. MAD is calculated as the sum of the absolute differences of the values and the mean.
