Answer:
a. 1965
b. 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
For answers to questions like these it can work to consider the smallest possible dataset.
<h3>Dataset</h3>
For our purpose, consider the 9 years/values to be averaged to be ...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9
<h3>Observations</h3>
a. The center value of the data set is 5. Its number is 5-1=4 more than the first one.
The first centered value is from the year 1961 +4 = 1965.
b. The 4 values at the beginning, and the 4 values at the end do not have a corresponding "average" value. That is, 4+4 = 8 values in the series are lost with respect to the number of average values.
8 years of values are lost.
Answer:
y = 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5y + -6 = 10
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 5y = 10
Solving
-6 + 5y = 10
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + 5y = 10 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 5y = 10 + 6
5y = 10 + 6
Combine like terms: 10 + 6 = 16
5y = 16
Divide each side by '5'.
y = 3.2
Simplifying
y = 3.2
Answer:
The space that the package would occupy is 45
cubic feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The space that the package occupies is the volume of the cylinder. The volume of an object is the 3 dimensional capacity of the object.
Volume of a cylinder = 
h
where: r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
Given that; h = 5 feet and r = 3 feet.
The required volume = × 
× 5
= × 9 × 5
= 45 cubic feet
The space that the package would occupy is 45 cubic feet.
