Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a set of N values:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

The median is the value in the middle, and the mean is calculated as:

M = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + x_3 ... + x_n)}{N}

Because here we have "the median" then we will assume that N is odd, and there is only one median, the value "k"  (if N was even, the median would be the mean of the two middle values, that case is really similar to the case where N is odd, so solving only one of the cases is enough)

Now we add 7 to all the values greater than the median

We subtract 7 to all values smaller than the median.

Then the median remains unchanged (because we did not add nor subtract anything to the median).

The new mean will be:

M' = \frac{(x_1 - 7) + (x_2 - 7) + ... + (x_{k}) + ... + (x_n + 7)}{N} = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n) + (-7)*(n/2 - 0.5) + 7*(n/2 - 0.5)}{N}  = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n)}{N} = M

So the mean does not change.

Because the mean is computed as the sum of the numbers divided by N, and the mean does not change, and N does not change, then the sum of the numbers does not change.

Finally, the standard deviation is computed as:

SD = \sqrt{\frac{(x_1 - M)^2 + ... + (xn - M)^2}{N} }

Because M does not change, if we add or subtract numbers to some of the values, the standard deviation will change (Because all the terms are squared, so the added and subtracted sevens don't cancel like in the previous cases)

Then the only value that does not have the same value in both the original and new data sets is the standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks, so cube root of 512 is 8 and reciprocal of 0.4 is 2.5 then:

8 : 2.5 / divide both by 2.5 to get:

3.2 : 1 that's my answer right?

What is 3(x+3)+7x= ?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

10x+9

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to multiply 3 into the parenthesis because you have to use distributive property.

Once you do that you get 3x+9+7x.

Combine like terms.

Solve the system by substitution
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

(-5, -30)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the equation:

y = 6x

y = -4x - 50

Since both of them are equal to y, we can substitute the 6x into y. So:

6x = -4x - 50

Now we can solve for x. Add 4x to both sides...

6x = -4x - 50

+4x   +4x

10x = -50

Now, divide both sides by 10.

<u>10x</u> = <u>-50</u>

10      10

x = -5

So, we now know that x is -5. Now we know this, we can substitute -5 where we see x. It works in both equations, so I will do both.

y = 6(-5)

y = -30

And...

y = -4(-5) - 50

y = 20 - 50

y = -30

As you can see, both equations show that y = -30. To check our work, let's plug in the values.

-30 = 6(-5)

-30 = -30

Also:

-30 = -4(-5) - 50

-30 = -20 - 50

-30 = -30

So, we can see that both of the equations gave us the same answer. So, our answer is x = -5 and y = -30, so the ordered pair is: (-5, -30). Hope this helps you!

Help me find the area please
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

I'm not a hundred percent sure how to answer this one, because you need the height to solve but the other two tick marks would also be twenty because all of the sides are equal to one another.
