Answer:

This shows that the mean increases by 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the given data is 2, 5, 6, 8

Mean = 2 +5+6+8/4

Mean = 21/4

Mean = 5.25

If number 20 is added, the data becomes 2, 5, 6, 8, 20

New mean = 2 +5+6+8+20/4

New mean = 41/5

New mean = 8.2

Taking the difference in the mean:

Difference = 8.2 - 5.25

Difference = 2.95

This shows that the mean increases by 2.95

NB: The data used was assumed since we are not given any data in question

For the inverse variation equation p=8/V what is the value of Vwhen p=1/2?

NISA [10]

Answer:

v = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 8/v and p = 1/2. Equating these two, we get 8/v = 1/2.

Inverting both sides, we get v/8 = 2.

Find the vaue of v by multiplying both sides by 8: v = 16

Plug the points into the equation.
Ex. y=3x-5
(X,y)
1. (5,10): 10=3(5)-5
15-5=10; point 1 is valid
-1=3(-2)-5
-1=-6-5
-1 does not equal -11
Point 2 is not valid
Same process for letter B

An equivalent fraction for 10/14 is _____.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

$\dfrac{10}{14}=\dfrac{10:2}{14:2}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\\dfrac{10}{14}=\dfrac{10\cdot2}{14\cdot2}=\dfrac{20}{28}\\\\\dfrac{10}{14}=\dfrac{10\cdot3}{14\cdot3}=\dfrac{30}{42}\\\\\dfrac{10}{14}=\dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{5\cdot5}{7\cdot5}=\dfrac{25}{35}\\\vdots$
