The histogram is especially useful in comparing mean and median values of a variable. We have that 5.5+6+7+10+7.5+8+9.5+9+8.5+8+7+7.5+6+6.5+5.5=111.5 Since there are 15 values, their mean is 111.5/15=7.43 which is very close to the mean. We also have that 7 onservations are lower than 7.4 while 8 are bigger than 7.4; hence, the diagram is rather balanced and not left-skewed. We cannot tell immediately which one is larger since the values are too close. Any such random process can usually be approximated to a greater or smaller degree by a normal curve; the more points, the better. The histogram shows this (it is kind of a discrete normal curve); all points except 4 will be in this interval of bars.
4.42 ounces of food was consumed. 1/2 of 3 oz equals 1.5 oz, 3/4 of 3 oz equals 2.25 oz and 1/3 of 2 oz equals .67 and when you add those up you get 4.42.
4x - 5y = -15
y = -3x + 22
Plug in your y= equation into the y variable in the other equation
4x - 5 (y) = -15
^^
y = (-3x + 22) = -15
4x - 5 (-3x + 22) = -15
Distribute
4x + 15x - 110 = -15
Combine like terms and add 110 over to -15
19x = 95
Then, divide the whole equation by 19
x = 5
Then, plug in your x into your y= equation
y = -3 (5) + 22
y = -15 + 22
y = 7
<em><u>x = 5</u></em>
<em><u>y = 7</u></em>
<em><u>(5, 7)</u></em>
Given:
The table for a geometric sequence.
To find:
The formula for the given sequence and the 10th term of the sequence.
Solution:
In the given geometric sequence, the first term is 1120 and the common ratio is:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is:
Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Putting 
, we get
Therefore, the required formula for the given sequence is .
We need to find the 10th term of the given sequence. So, substituting 
in the above formula.
Therefore, the 10th term of the given sequence is 2.1875.
