Emily and Hunter tracked the average temperature in their city for the past 8 days. They recorded their temperature findings in

this list 66°F, 57°F, 61°F, 65°F, 54°F, 62°F, 59°F, 56°F
What is the mean absolute deviation of this data set?

Answer:

The mean absolute deviation = 3.5°F

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the given temperatures, ∑T, is found as follows;

∑T = 66°F + 57°F + 61°F + 65°F + 54°F + 62°F + 59°F + 56°F = 480°F

The number of days, n, over which the temperature was tracked = 8 days

Therefore, the mean, \bar x, of the data set = ∑T/n = 480°F/8 = 60°F

The mean absolute deviation is given by the following formula;

Mean \ absolute \ deviation = \frac{\sum \limits_{i = 1}^{n} \left | x_i - \bar x \right | }{n}

Therefore, we have;

66 - 60 = \left | 6\right | = 6

57 - 60 = \left | -3\right | = 3

61 - 60 =  \left | 1\right | = 1

65 - 60 =  \left | 5\right | = 5

54 - 60 =  \left | -6\right | = 6

62 - 60 =  \left | 2\right | = 2

59 - 60 =  \left | -1\right | = 1

56 - 60 =  \left | -4\right | = 4

The mean absolute deviation is therefore;

The mean absolute deviation = (6 + 3 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 4)/8 = 3.5°F.

Convert the polar coordinates (-3, -60°) to Cartesian coordinates.
notsponge [240]

Answer:

(1.5,-2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polar coordinates (-3,60°).

Let our Cartesian coordinates be (x,y)

#We know that when converting the rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar (r,θ), then:

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\therefore r^2=x^2+y^2\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}(y/x)\\\therefore tan \theta=y/x

#Using the illustration above, we can express our polar coordinates as:

-3=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\-60\textdegree=tan^{-1}(y/x}

#Solve simultaneously to solve for x and y:

(-3)^2=x^2+y^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ i\\\\tan(-0\texdegree)=y/x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii\\\\y=x\ tan(-60\textdegree)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...iii\\\\\#substitute\  y \ in\  i\\\\(-3)^2=x^2+(x \ tan (-60\textdegree))^2\\\\9=x^2+3x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{9/4}=1.5\\\\y=1.5\ tan(-60\textdegree)=-2.5981\approx-2.6

Hence, the Cartesian coordinates are (1.5,-2.6)

The point ends up being ( 1, -1) and if you're graphing it you would put a dot on 1 and -1 on your graph and put a line connecting them (hope this helps)
