Everything except for 4 is correct, number 4 is c.
Answer:
x = -6/5
y =7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = - 1
x - 2y = - 4
Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate y
2(2x + y = - 1)
4x + 2y = -2
Add this to the second equation
4x + 2y = -2
x - 2y = - 4
---------------------
5x + 0y = -6
Divide by 5
5x/5 = -6/5
x = -6/5
Multiply the second equation by -2 so we can eliminate x
-2(x - 2y = - 4)
-2x+4y = 8
Add this to the first equation
2x + y = - 1
-2x+4y = 8
---------------------
0x + 5y = 7
Divide by 5
5y/5 = 7/5
y =7/5
Data:
15 16 14 15 19 17
n=6 points
sum is 96
mean is 96/6 = 16
Now we look at the absolute deviations, each of which is the absolute value of a score minus the mean, basically the distance of the score to the mean .
Scores 15 16 14 15 19 17
AbsDev 1 0 2 1 3 1
The sum of the absolute deviations is 8 and there are six of them so the
Mean Absolute Deviation = 8/6 = 4/3
Answer: 2. 8/6
