Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Set of data => 7, 15, x–1, x+1, 24, 28

Median = 21

x =?

Median is simply defined as the middle term of a given data arranged either in ascending or descending order.

Next, we shall determine the median of the set of data. This can be obtained as follow:

7, 15, x–1, x+1, 24, 28

Median = [(x–1) + (x+1)]/ 2

Finally, we shall determine the value of x as follow:

Median = [(x-1) + (x+1)]/ 2

Median = 21

21 = [(x-1) + (x+1)]/ 2

21 = [x – 1 + x + 1] /2

21 = [x + x – 1 + 1] /2

21 = 2x / 2

21 = x

Thus, x is 21

****Check****

Median = 21

x = 21

Median = [(x–1) + (x+1)] / 2

21 = [(21 – 1) + (21 + 1)] / 2

21 = [20 + 22] / 2

21 = 42/2

21 = 21

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (2, 4) and a directrix of y = 8. f(x) = −one eighth (x − 2)2 + 6 f(x) = one
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

For any point (x, y ) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(y-4)^2} = | y - 8 |

Squaring both sides gives

(x - 2)² + (y - 4)² = (y - 8)²

(x - 2)² + y² - 8y + 16 = y² - 16y + 64 ( rearrange and simplify )

(x - 2)² = - 8y + 48

8y = - (x - 2)² + 48

y = - \frac{1}{8}(x - 2)² + 6 → A

A fair coin is flipped seven times. what is the probability of the coin landing tails up at least two times?
GaryK [48]

The required probability of the coin landing tails up at least two times is 15/16.

Given that,
A fair coin is flipped seven times. what is the probability of the coin landing tails up at least two times is to be determined.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

Here,
In the given question,
let's approach inverse operation,
The probability of all tails  = 1 / 2^7 because there is only one way to flip these coins and get no heads.
The probability of getting 1 head = 7 /2^7
Adding both the probability = 8 / 2^7
Probability of the coin landing tails up at least two times = 1 - 8/2^7
                                                                                     = 1 - 8 / 128
                                                                                     = 120 / 128
                                                                                     = 15 / 16

Thus, the required probability of the coin landing tails up at least two times is 15/16.

Explain the relationship between multiplying and diving by 10, 100, and 1,000 and moving the decimal point to the right or to th
zhannawk [14.2K]
If you're multiplying by 10, you're moving the decimal point to the right, the same with any multiplication in the 10's, so 100, 1,000, etc. This is because you are making the number 10 times larger, so if you had 3.4, the 4 is in the 1/10 column so multiplying by 10 would put it in the units column, making the number 34.

On the other hand, dividing by the 10's makes the decimal point move to the left because you are making the number 10 times smaller, so if the units column is worth 1, then 10 times less than that is 1/10, which is the first decimal place.

I hope this helps! I tried to explain it well but let me know if you still don't understand or if I've confused you in any way :)
