<span>This is a very nice counting question.
Suggestion / Hint: Count how many ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7) by going through the point (2,3). Then subtract that from ALL POSSIBLE ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7).
Hint for the hint: How many ways he can get from (0,0) to (5,7) by going through the point (2,3)? Well, that's the SUM of how many ways he can get from (0,0) to (2,3) and how many ways he get get from (2,3) to (5,7).
Hope this helps! :)</span>
The expression would be 2.98 * 10 to the -7 power? Please tell me if I'm wrong.
Subtract the 12x^2 first.
5x - 4 = 6
Add the four
5x = 10
Then divide the 5 from both sides
X = 2
6.5 is the mean of the data
