The data show the average monthly temperatures for two cities over a 6-month period. City 1: {20, 24, 40, 63, 76, 89} City 2: {4

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The MAD of city 2 is less than the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary less than the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

For comparing the mean absolute deviations of both data sets we have to calculate the mean absolute deviation for both data sets first,

So for city 1:

$Mean = x1 = \frac{20+24+40+63+76+89}{6}$

$x1 = \frac{312}{6}$

$x1 = 52$

Now to calculate the mean deviations mean will be subtracted from each data value. (Note: The minus sign is ignored as the deviation is the distance of value from the mean and it cannot be negative. For this purpose absolute is used)

$20-52 = -32=32\\24-52=-28=28\\40-52=-12=12\\63-52=11\\76-52=24\\89-52=37$

The deviations will be added then. $Mean Absolute Deviation = \frac{32+28+12+11+24+37}{6} \\=\frac{144}{6}\\=24$

So the mean absolute deviation for city 1 is 24 ..

For city 2:

$Mean = x2 = \frac{41+50+58+62+72+83}{6}$

$x2 = \frac{366}{6}$

$x2 = 61$

Now to calculate the mean deviations mean will be subtracted from each data value. (Note: The minus sign is ignored)

$41-61=-20=20\\50-61=-11=11\\58-61=-3=3\\62-61=1\\72-61=11\\83-61=22$

The deviations will be added then. $Mean Absolute Deviation = \frac{20+11+3+1+11+22}{6} \\=\frac{68}{6}\\=11.33$

So the MAD for city 2 is 11.33 ..

So,

The MAD of city 2 is less than the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary less than the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

Verify the identity: (1-sinx)/cosx = cosx/(1+sinx)

Tresset [83]

Cross multiply the expression so that we can get

(1+sinx)(1-sinx) = cos^2 x

1 - sin^2 x = cos^2 x

cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1

since

cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1

therefore

1 = 1

the two expressions are identical in a trigonometric sense

UNO [17]

Answer:

2 solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

2m/2m+3 - 2m/2m-3 = 1

Find the LCM of the expression at the left hand side:

2m(2m-3)-2m(2m+3)/(2m+3)(2m-3) = 1

open the bracket

4m²-6m-4m²-6m/(4m²-9) = 1

Cross multiply

4m²-6m-4m²-6m = 4m² - 9

-12m = 4m² - 9

4m² - 9+12m = 0

4m² +12m-9 = 0

Since the resulting equation is a quadratic equation, it will have 2 solutions since the degree of the equation is 2
