Answer:
Mean = 151
MAD = 9.14
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
135, 160, 145, 155, 170, 150, 142
Mean = Σx / n
Mean = 1057 / 7
Mean = 151
Mean absolute DEVIATION (MAD) : Σ(x - μ) / n
[(135-151) + (160-151) + (145-151) + (155-151) + (170-151) + (150-151) + (142-151)] / 7
Mean absolute deviation = 9.14
Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
