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

A scuba diver uses negative numbers to represent her depths below sea level. She was at a depth of -1.5 meters. A few minutes la
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a). -5.7 meters or 5.7 meters below sea level

b). When we combine the two depths we sum them since they are an increment in the same direction and we sum them from the seal level, our first reference point.

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Final depth=Initial depth+deeper increment=(-1.5)+(-4.2)=-5.7

Initial depth=-1.5 represented by a negative number since she is below sea level, meaning her reference point(point 0) is the sea level. The more she moves below the sea level the deeper she goes and the more her depth becomes negative

Deeper increment=-4.1, she further moves deeper from her initial depth(-1.5) by a value of -4.1. In order to find her final depth, we have to sum all the depths she covered from her first reference point which is the see level.

The expression is;

Final depth=Initial depth+deeper increment=(-1.5)+(-4.2)=-5.7 meters

Her final depth=-5.7 meters

b). When we combine the two depths we sum them since they are an increment in the same direction and we sum them from the seal level, our first reference point.

How much fertelizer is needed for a 180 square-foot garden
Fed [463]

Answer:

6 pounds of fertilizers are needed for garden area of 180 square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' pounds of fertilizers be needed for 180 square foot garden.

Given:

4 pounds of fertilizer needed for an area of 120 square foot.

The area of the garden given is 180 square foot.

Now, as per question:

4 pounds of fertilizer is equivalent to an area of 120 square foot.

Therefore, 'x' pounds of fertilizer is equivalent to an area of 180 square foot.

Applying proportion and cross multiplying method, we get:

x            4

_      =    _

180        120

120x=4 x 180

120x= 720

x = 720

      _

     120

x=6 LBS

Therefore, 6 pounds of fertilizers are needed for garden area of 180 square foot.
