The probability is 3/6 because 3 out of the 6 sides are odd numbers.
1) find the mean,
20+10+30+20+50+30+40+20/8= 27.5
2) Find the distance of each value from that mean
20- 7.5
10- 17.5
30- 2.5
20-7.5
50- 22.5
30- 2.5
40- 12.5
20- 7.5
3) Find the mean of those distances
7.5+17.5+2.5+7.5+22.5+2.5+12.5+7.5/8=10
The Mean absolute deviation for this data set is 10.
Set the function to equal zero:
To find the zeros, or solutions, to this problem, we will use the quadratic formula:
Plug the values into the equation:
Solve for both plus and minus:
The question cannot use a negative value for x, as the diver cannot dive a negative distance from the board.
The answer is
'<span>
x = 5; the diver hits the water 5 feet away horizontally from the board', because x represents the horizontal distance away from the board.</span>
The square root is 41.9332803391. To double check, multiply 41.9332803391 by 41.9332803391, which gave me 1758.4.
I hope this helps!
