Answer:

The number of pounds of apples is 4.5 and the number of pounds of grapes is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the number of pounds of apples

(x-2) -----> the number of pounds of grapes

we know that

Solve for x

 

so

therefore

Answer:

4.5 pounds of apples

2.5 pounds of grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

a = # of apples

(a - 2) = # of grapes

1.68a + 2.48(a - 2) = 13.76

1.68a + 2.48a - 4.96 = 13.76

4.16a = 18.72

a = 4.5; Apples

(a - 2) = 2.5;  Grapes

Find an input that yield an output of -1 rule y=-2x+33
djyliett [7]

Input (x-value)

Output (y-value)

You need to find the x-value that produces a y-value of -1. Since you know:

y = -1       Use the rule, and substitute/plug this into the equation

y = -2x + 33       Plug in -1 for "y" in the equation since y = -1

-1 = -2x + 33        Subtract 33 on both sides

-1 - 33 = -2x + 33 - 33

-34 = -2x      Divide -2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{-34}{-2}=\frac{-2x}{-2}

17 = x

An input of 17 yields an output of -1

Two random samples of 25 people were asked how many 12-ounce cans of soda they consume each week. The first sample contained bot
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The mean of Sample #2 is 8

The mean absolute deviation for Sample #2 is 4.08

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean for Sample #2, you find the sum of the values in the set and divide it by the number of elements in that set.

18+14+0+7+5+7+10+7+6+9+12+3+14+4+11+6+0+10+9+5+0+16+11+2+4 = 200

200 ÷ 25 = 8

To find the mean absolute deviation for Sample #2, you calculate how far away each data point is from the mean using positive distances. These are the absolute deviations. Afterward, you add those deviations together and divide the sum by the number of data points.

10+6+8+1+3+1+2+1+2+1+4+5+6+4+3+2+8+2+1+3+8+8+3+6+4 = 102

102 ÷ 25 = 4.08

I hope this helps
