Answer:

40 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose grandma's house is  30 miles away (any distance would do but 30 is convenient).

Speed = distance / time

time = distance / speed

Time to get there =  30/60 = 1/2 hour.

Time to get back = 30/30 = 1 hour

Average speed  = total distance/ total time

=  (30 + 30) / ( 1 + 1/2)

= 60 / 1.5

=  40 miles per hour.

You cannot take the average of the speeds directly

(60+ 30)/2  = 45 is not correct as you cannot average ratios ( speed is a ratio).

-2+n=-8(1-8n)+6 solve for n.
blsea [12.9K]

-2 + n = -8(1 - 8n) + 6

Distribute the -8

-2 + n = -8 + 64n + 6

Combine like terms.

-2 + n = 64n - 2

Add 2 to both sides and subtract n from both sides.

0 = 63n

Divide both sides by 63

0 = n

Vilka [71]

The data are skewed and there is an outlier statement first is correct.

<h3>What is the box and whisker plot?</h3>

A box and whisker plot is a method of abstracting a set of data that is approximated using an interval scale. It's also known as a box plot. These are primarily used to interpret data.

We have data on the box plot.

Because the dots decrease as the number line grows, the depicted dot plot is skewed right.

The graph's "tail" is pushed toward greater positive numbers. As a result, the mean is pushed towards the graph's tail and is higher than the median.

Thus, the data are skewed and there is an outlier statement first is correct.
