Answer:

40.18

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, the mean of 100 observation is found to be 40. This means that the number of values in the set of data is 100. However, at the time of computation two items were wrongly taken as 30 and 27 instead of 3 and 72.

The mean is derived by dividing the sum of values in the data (Σx) by the number of observations (n) i.e.

Mean = Σx/n

For the computation error:

Mean = 40

Let x represent the sun of other 98 values except 30 and 27

n = 100

40 = x + 30 + 27/100

40 = 57 + x/100

Cross multiply

4000 = 57 + x

x = 4000 - 57

x = 3943.

Sum of other 98 values = 3943.

Now, let's find the correct mean with correct values of 3 and 72;

Mean = Σx/n

Mean = 3943 + 3 + 72/100

Mean = 4018/100

Mean = 40.18

8 divide by 1 1/4 KCF
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

K=Keep the first Fraction (You can rewrite 8 as 8/1 for when you multiply across.)

C=Change the Division Sign to a Multiplication Sign

F=Flip the Second Fraction

First, rewrite 1 1/4 as 5/4 (A mixed number can be changed to a fraction by multiplying the outside whole number by the denominator or bottom number of the fraction, then add the new rewritten whole number and the original fractional piece. In this case you would multiply the outside 1 by the bottom 4 and add it to the original 1/4. 4/4+1/4=5/4)

Second, Flip 5/4 to 4/5 and change your equation so it now reads: 8/1 x 4/5

Third, use simple fraction multiplication and multiply across to get 8/1 x 4/5=32/5
