The mean of a dataset is the sum of all data elements divided by the count of the elements.

The location of the 6th score relative to the mean is 5 points below the mean

Let:

\bar x \to<em> Mean</em>

a \to<em> 5 scores</em>

b \to<em> 6th scores</em>

Given that:

n = 6

The 5 scores that are 1 above the mean implies that:

a = \bar x + 1

The mean of a dataset is calculated using:

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}

So, we have:

\bar x =\frac{5a + b}{6}

\bar x =\frac{5(\bar x + 1) + b}{6}

Open brackets

\bar x =\frac{5\bar x + 5 + b}{6}

Multiply both sides by 6

6\bar x =5\bar x + 5 + b

Make b the subject

b = 6\bar x -5\bar x - 5

b = \bar x - 5

This means that the 6th score is 5 points below the mean

mars1129 [50]
The answer is 93 

If we sorted out the number of each hours, the sequence will look like this

57 _    69  _  81  _ x  _ 105   

(in which x is the fourth hour of work)


We can see from the sequence that each hours, the mailman add additional 12 letters.
(69 - 57 = 12)
(81 - 69 = 12)   . . . . proof


So, the amount of letters on the fourth hour would be:
81 letters  + 12 letters = 93 Letters

Solve the equation <br> (If possible please show work)
deff fn [24]

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

-2(-x-4)+3=-7-4x

First, distribute the left side:

-2(-x)-2(-4)+3=-7-4x\\2x+8+3=-7-4x

Add values on the left side:

2x+11=-7-4x

Add 7 to both sides. The right side cancels:

(2x+11)+7=(-7-4x)+7\\2x+18=-4x

Subtract 2x from both sides. The left side cancels:

(2x+18)-2x=(-4x)-2x\\18=-6x

Divide both sides by -6:

(-6x)/-6=18/-6\\x=-3

Therefore, x equals -3.
