Mathematics
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B. a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis.

3a - 12 + 1 = 9 - a

Add -12 and 1.

3a - 11 = 9 - a

Add a to both sides.

4a - 11 = 9

Add 11 to both sides.

4a = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

a = 5.

Proof:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Substitute variable.

3(5 - 4) + 1 = 9 - 5

Subtract inside parenthesis.

3(1) + 1 = 9 - 5

Multiply 3 and 1.

3 + 1 = 9 - 5

Add 3 and 1.

4 = 9 - 5

Subtract 5 from 9.

4 = 4.

Hi, I need help with this question. Here is the question: For which data set is the median greater than the mean?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Set 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the median of each set (the median being the number in the middle):

(1) { 4,7,10,13,16} = 10

(2) {8,9,10,18,19} = 10

(3) {8,9,10,11,12} = 10

(4) {1,2,10,11, 12} = 10

Then find the mean of each set (the mean being average of all the numbers, to find the average add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers):

(1) { 4,7,10,13,16} = 10

(2) {8,9,10,18,19} = 12.8

(3) {8,9,10,11,12} = 10

(4) {1,2,10,11, 12} = 7.2

the answer being 12.8 since 12.8 is greater than 10
