Answer:
Try solving 6(n-5)-2.
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe this can be set up as 6(n-5)-2. The difference of a number and five can be represented by n-5. If this needs to be multiplied by 6 (hence 6 times), it would become 6(n-5). Two less than that is represented by -2. Thus, two less than six times the difference of a number and five is 6(n-5) -2, which, when n=9 is plugged in, looks like 6(9-5) -2. Follow PEMDAS from there.
Answer: 7.22
(note: this is a result after rounding. The result before rounding was 7.21875)
========================================================
Explanation:
Given Set of Values = {22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, 26}
Add up the values: 22+16+39+35+19+34+20+26 = 211
Divide that sum by 8 as there are 8 values: 211/8 = 26.375
The mean is 26.375
Now subtract the mean from each data value. Apply the absolute value to ensure the difference is never negative
|22 - 26.375| = 4.375
|16 - 26.375| = 10.375
|39 - 26.375| = 12.625
|35 - 26.375| = 8.625
|19 - 26.375| = 7.375
|34 - 26.375| = 7.625
|20 - 26.375| = 6.375
|26 - 26.375| = 0.375
Add up those results
4.375+10.375+12.625+8.625+7.375+7.625+6.375+0.375 = 57.75
Then divide by 8
57.75/8 = 7.21875
The mean absolute deviation of the prices is 7.21875
Rounded to two decimal places, it is 7.22
Since we're talking about money, it makes sense to round to the nearest penny.
Hypotenuse by Pythagoras theorem = 407.83.
Positive if I looked at graph correctly
