Answer:

10 boys, 15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls

let x be the scale factor of the ratio

2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1

Simplify: 2x+5=3x

Simplify: 5=x

plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15

Check: 10/15 = 2/3

10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1

First put your numbers in order from least to greatest (These are negative numbers so that means that the smallest number is the one farthest away from zero)

-49, -43, -39, -18, -14, -12, -9

Mean is adding all the numbers together and dividing the sum by how many numbers there are in the data set

-49 + (-43) + (-39) + (-18) + (-14) + (-12) + (-9) = -184

There are seven numbers so divide -184 by 7:

-184 ÷ 7 ≈ 26.29

Median is the number in the middle. Take away the smallest number and the biggest number on each layer until you get to the middle

-49, -43, -39, -18, -14, -12, -9

       -43, -39, -18, -14, -12

              -39, -18, -14

                      -18 <-------------------Median

Mode is whatever number appears the most often in the data. In this case all the numbers appear only once so there is no mode

Range is subtracting the largest number by the smallest number

-9 - (-49) = 40

2. Data in order

13, 13, 13, 15, 21, 23, 25, 37

Outlier is the number that is a number that is rather far from the other number in the data

a. In this case the outlier is 37

b. 13 + 13 + 13 + 15 + 21 + 23 + 25 + 37 = 160

160 ÷ 8 = 20

c. 13 + 13 + 13 + 15 + 21 + 23 + 25  = 123

123 ÷ 7 = 17.57

Hope this helped!
