well, to do this we first need to find the mean of all values.
we need to find the distance of each value from that mean (subtract the mean from each value, ignore minus signs)
Then find the mean of those distances.
so, after we do all of that with the given numbers, our final result would be 2.333333333..... (It goes on) we round it up to 2.3, and viola! the answer is C.
Assuming that no overtime was factored into his wages, Alex would have gotten a gross pay of $359.60. This was done by multiplying $7.86 x 45.75 hours.
Assuming that overtime was factored into his wages, Alex would have gotten a gross pay of $382.19. This was done by figuring out how much "time and a half" is for over time. "time" = 7.86; "and a half"= 7.86/2= 3.93
Time AND a half would equal 7.86 + 3.93= 11.79.
So, Alex would get an additional $11.79 for the hours OVER 40 hours which was 5 hours and 75 minutes..
11.79 x 5.75 = 67.79
Total hours for a 40 hour work week for Alex with 7.86 would equal a gross pay of 314.40. Plus 67.79. = 382.19
1/3 is larger because 1/3 translates to .333 repeating which is larger than .3

Given that the production of n stalks of corn planted has been modeled by (2n^2-2n), then the approximate ears of corn produced by 3 stalks will be given by:
2n^2-2n
plugging in n=3 in the formula we get:
2(3)^2-2(3)
simplifying we get:
2(9)-6
=18-6
=12
the answer is: 12 ears
