Mrs. Summers polled the students in her 7th and 8th grade classes to determine the number of pets each student has at home. The
results for both classes are shown in the dot plots below. Calculate the mean and mean absolute deviation of each sample. Then, complete the following question.
The mean number of pets for the 8th grade class is about 1.4 pets____ than the mean number of pets for the 7th grade class. This difference is about____ the mean absolute deviation of either group.
A. higher, lower?
B. same as, twice, half?

Answer:
I have uploaded a picture so you could understand it a little more.
A linear function is when there is a table that gives numbers that represent a function, as shown in the picture.
In the Image, there is a table with a x and y column. And in both columns, there are numbers.
This is what the table looks like in the picture:
<u> x y </u>
0 4 The key is y = 2x + 4
1 6 <------ lets grab the number 1 in the x column and lets
2 8 multiply it by two. Now add four to it, and we will
3 10 have the number 6 in the y column.
4 12

Answer:
The merchant buys 30 shirts originally.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the merchant bought x numbers of shirts in $120.
So, the cost for each shirt is $.
Now, if the cost for each shirt is reduced by 1$, then he would have bought 10 shirts more i.e. (x + 10) shirts in $120.
So, we can write the following equation as
⇒(120 - x)(x + 10) = 120x
⇒ 120x - 10x + 1200 - x² = 120x
⇒ x² +10x - 1200 = 0
⇒ x² + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0
⇒(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0
⇒ x = - 40 or x = 30
But x can not be negative.
Hence, the merchant buys 30 shirts originally. (Answer)
