Compute |1-3+5-7+...+13-15|

Mathematics
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple different ways you can solve this, but this is generally the quickest way.

Identify a pattern in the problem. We can see that 1-3=-2,  5-7=-2, and so on. Subtracting every two odd numbers (without repeating any numbers) in that problem will always give us the same answer: -2.

So, we see how many pairs of odd numbers there are.

1 and 3,  5 and 7,  9 and 11,  13 and 15. We have <u>four</u> pairs of odd numbers. We can just multiply -2 by 4, which leaves us with an answer of -8.

Finally, since this is also an absolute value equation, the answer will be positive, so the final answer is 8.

What display can be used to find how many pumpkins had masses below 6.0 kilograms. Histogram or box plot
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The correct option is Histogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, we usually come across a vast set of data. Data can be explained well when it is presented as a graph rather than as a table since the graphs have the capability to make known a trend or comparison.  

Different types of graphs used in statistics to describe data are:

  • Bar charts
  • Pie charts
  • Line charts
  • Histogram
  • Box Plot
  • Dot Plot

And so on.

The methods commonly used for depicting a frequency distribution are:

  • Histogram/Column graph
  • Bar graph
  • Frequency Polygon
  • Pie chart

A histogram is used to graphically represent the distribution of a random variable according to the frequency distribution.

Each bar of the histogram is constructed according to a range of values and represents the frequency for that particular range.

In this case, we need to find  how many pumpkins had masses below 6.0 kilograms.

The histogram can be used to construct the graphically representation of the masses of pumpkins and their frequency.

The range can be decided according to the provided masses.

Thus, the correct option is Histogram.
