1.The measure of center that is most appropriate for this situation is the MEDIAN. This is because, one of the number given is an outlier, that is, it is much greater than the rest of the given numbers. If the mean of the number given is calculated, it will be discovered that the mean value obtained is higher than most of the scores in the data set, thus,the mean is not a suitable measure of central tendency in this case.
2. To find the median of the given numbers, arrange them in a descending order and add the two numbers in the middle then divide the value by 2.
That is, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 14.
The two numbers in the middle is 1 and 2.
Median = [1 + 2] / 2 = 3/2 = 1.5
Therefore, the median is 1.5
Answer: 9 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The carpenter will need 84 square inches of wood.
In this problem we are looking for the surface area of the jewelry box. This box has 5 faces. The two triangles at each end and the 3 rectangle pieces between them.
The sides of the triangles are 3, 4, 5 which always forms a right triangle with legs of 3 and 4. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, we have 3 x 4 / 2 = 6. The area of each triangle is 6 square inches.
Now, the three sides, each one has a height of 6.
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30
If we add all the sides together, we get an area of 84 square inches.
6 + 6 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 84
Answer:
Let the original number be x
Successor is defined as the number which comes immediately after a particular number.
also, the successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to that number.
Then, the successor of a number x is, x+1
As per the given condition :
we have;
Using distributive property on LHS (i.e, 
)
Then, we have
5x+5+x=83
Combine like terms;
6x+5=83
Subtract 5 from both the sides we get;
6x+5-5=83-5
Simplify:
6x=78
Divide both side by 6,
Simplify:
x =13
Therefore, the original number x is, 13
