First we find mean.
Mean is 10
Find sum of data set.
7+8+8+9+10+10+11+11+12+14=100
Divide the sum by the number of data values: 100/10=10
|7-10|=|-3|=3
We do this for all number. We subtract the data values by mean. We get:
3+2+2+1+0+0+1+1+2+4=16
16:10=1.6
MAD IS 1.6

In one day, there are two high tides and two low tides in equally spaced intervals. The high tide is observed to be 6 feet above

8090 [49]

Answer:

The "independent variable" is the "time" (in hours) that is plotted on the "x-axis". Note the "time" (in hours) can be "manipulated" in the sense that is it "chosen" by the humans who are measuring the data (e.g. when to start, how many hours, and at what intervals.

The "dependent variable" is the measurement (in feet) above or below the sea level, and this is plotted on the "y-axis". These values cannot be "manipulated" in the sense that one cannot "choose" what value or measurement the tide level would be at any particular time.

8x=4x^2-1 <br>solve by completing the square

Klio2033 [76]

Get the x terms by themselves on one side and a constant on the other side of the equal sign...

4x^2-8x=1 make the leading coefficient equal to one...

x^2-2x=1/4 now halve the linear coefficient, -2 in this case, square it, and add that value to both sides of the equation...-2/2=-1, -1^2=1 so

x^2-2x+1=1+1/4

x^2-2x+1=5/4 now the left side is a perfect square...

(x-1)^2=5/4 take the square root of both sides...

x-1=±√(5/4) add 1 to both sides

x=1±√(5/4)

Of the 10 people attending a seminar, 5 have gray hair.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 of these have grey hair.

To find the chances of a somone having grey hair, we need to divide people with grey hair over total people:

$\frac{value}{total} =probability$
