Answer: 6 kids walked to school
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 13 kids altogether and 7 rode the bus, it can be solved using subtraction.
13 - 7 = 6
The diver was 5.875 below sea level before swimming to sea level
Answer:
2.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) is the average amount that each point is from the overall average of the data set.
So, first find the overall average (also called the mean):
avg = (1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9) / 7
= 28 / 7
= 4
The average (mean) is 4, so now you calculate how far each point is from 4 and average those numbers:
Note: Remember to use absolute values, since distance can't be negative.
4 - 1 = 3
4 - 1 = 3
4 - 2 = 2
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 5 = |-1| = 1
4 - 7 = |-3| = 3
4 - 9 = |-5| = 5
And finally, average (or find the mean) the new data set:
avg = (1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 5) / 7
so 18 / 7 is the MAD of the data set.
Finally, round it to the nearest tenth:
18 ÷ 7 = 2.57142857143 ≈ 2.6
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator does this very nicely.
___
If I were graphing by hand, I might divide by 4 and add 7 to get ...
y = 3x +7
Now, you know the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 7. Another point can be found by going left 1 and down 3 from the y-intercept, or left 2 and down 6 as shown on the attached graph. The line can be drawn through those points.
