19.95 + 3.98x = 63.73
3.98x = 63.73 - 19.95
3.98x = 43.78
x = 43.78/3.98
x = 11

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 <u>less than</u> the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary <u>less than</u> 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 <u>less than</u> the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary <u>less than</u> the average monthly temperatures for City 1.

a store selling a couch for $623 on a 24 month payment plan if your down payment of 152 is given and no interest is charged how

sveticcg [70]

First start with $623 and subtract the $152 deposit. Then divide that answer by 24, which equals 19.625. The monthly payment would be 19.63 monthly for 24 months.

What is the solution to the system of equations below?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The solution is the point (18,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+6$ -----> equation A

$y=\frac{1}{3}x-6$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

$\frac{1}{3}x-6=-\frac{1}{3}x+6$

solve for x

Adds (1/3)x both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x-6+\frac{1}{3}x=6$

$\frac{2}{3}x-6=6$

Adds 6 both sides

$\frac{2}{3}x=6+6$

$\frac{2}{3}x=12$

$x=12(3)/2\\x=18$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

substitute the value of x in equation A or equation B

$y=-\frac{1}{3}(18)+6=0$

therefore

The solution is the point (18,0)
