Answer: 15 because 15 times 3 is 45 and then add 3 and its 48
Answer:
24.3
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to follow the order of operations PEMDAS:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Carry out the operation in the parentheses first:
3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - (1.2 × 4)
⇒ 3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
Now the exponent:
⇒ 3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
⇒ (3 × 3 × 3) + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
⇒ 27 + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
Now, the division (there is no multiplication):
⇒ 27 + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8
⇒ 27 + 2.1 - 4.8
Finally, carry out the addition and subtraction (from left to right)
⇒ 27 + 2.1 - 4.8
⇒ 29.1 - 4.8
⇒ 24.3
The correct answer is the last option.
Since the coach is studying the two different groups, the results will be more meaningful if the groups are compared to one another as opposed to the players. It would also make more sense to study the mean (or average) of the points scored, rather than the standard deviation (which is essentially a measure of how spread out a set of numbers are).
Yes, the Property of Equality works for Multiplication
