The daily rainfall during two April weeks was: 1, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0 ,0, 1.2, 3, 0, 1.1, 0.7, 2, 1.3, 2 inches. What was the median
Leokris [45]
The answer is 0.85 inches.
The median is not the same as the mean (which is usually average).
The mean is the sum of all data divided by the number of data. So, <u>the mean of these numbers would be 0.94:</u>
(1 + 0.5 + 0.3 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1.2 + 3 + 0 + 1.1 + 0.7 + 2 + 1.3 + 2)/14 = 13.1/14 = 0.94
But we need the median which is the middle value. To find the median, first rearrange the data from the lowest to the highest value. If there is an odd number of data, then the median is the value in the middle. If there is an even number of data, then the median is the mean of the two values that are in the middle.
Calculation of the median:
Step 1. Rearrange the data from the lowest to the highest value.
0, 0, 0, 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2, 2, 3
Step 2. Since zhere is the even number of data, find two values in the middle and calculate their mean:
0, 0, 0, 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2, 2, 3
7th and 8th values are in the middle. There mean is:
(0.7 + 1)/2 = 1.7/2 = 0.85
Therefore, the median of the data <span>1, 0.5, 0.3, 0, 0 ,0, 1.2, 3, 0, 1.1, 0.7, 2, 1.3, 2</span> is 0.85.
Answer:
scale factor =
Step-by-step explanation:
Compare the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original.
AB = 6 units and A'B' = 2 units, thus
scale factor = = =
Answer:
probability of selecting a student who plays a sport but does not watch rugby out of the people who play a sport.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Find the probability that a student chosen at random from those who play a sport does not watch rugby."
90-15= 75 students either play a sport OR watch rugby
65+71-75=
136-75=
61 people play a sport AND watches rugby
14 people play a sport and DOES NOT watch rugby
is the probability of selecting a student who plays a sport but does not watch rugby out of the people who play a sport.
Answer:
(x + 7) (x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the following:
x^2 + 12 x + 35
The factors of 35 that sum to 12 are 7 and 5. So, x^2 + 12 x + 35 = (x + 7) (x + 5):
Answer: (x + 7) (x + 5)
