The mean decreases, think about it, if every single value in a data set was decreased by the same number, the average would also go down by the same number
The median would also go down, because the value in the middle of the data set would now be smaller than before
The mode would also decrease, because the value that showed up the most in the data set has now also been decreased
The range, however, stays the same. If the lowest value in a data set was 3 and the highest was 10 and you subtracted 2 from each value in the data set, you would have the lowest at 1 and the highest at 8. But, 10-3 still equals 8-1, so the range is unchanged
Answer:
b. comets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be larger integer so x-3 is the smaller
so x^2+ x-3 = 87
x^2 +x -90=0 and factor
(x-9)(x+10)=0
x=9 or x=-10 but x must be positive
so x=9 and smaller number is 6
Answer:
The answer is
Height and weight have the same degree of variation
First, let's establish a ratio between these two values. We'll use that as a starting point. I personally find it easiest to work with ratios as fractions, so we'll set that up:

To find the distance <em>per year</em>, we'll need to find the <em>unit rate</em> of this ratio in terms of years. The word <em>unit</em> refers to the number 1 (coming from the Latin root <em>uni-</em> ); a <em>unit rate</em> involves bringing the number we're interested in down to 1 while preserving the ratio. Since we're looking for the distance the fault line moves every one year, we'll have to bring that 175 down to one, which we can do by dividing it by 175. To preserve our ratio, we also have to divide the top by 175:

We have our answer: approximately
0.14 cm or
1.4 mm per year
