The mean, median number and the the outlier of the number of letters in the box is 5, 4.5 and no outlier respectively.

The complete question:

A box contains the numbers 9, 2, 2, 11, 1, 8, 8, 2, 6, 1, 7, 3.

<h3>How to find mean, median and outlier</h3>

  • Mean = Addition of all numbers ÷ number of digits

= (9 + 2 + 2 + 11 + 1 + 8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 1 + 7 + 3) ÷ 12

= 60 ÷ 12

= 5

  • Median = The middle value arranged in ascending or descending order.

In ascending order; 1,1,2,2,2,3,6,7,8,8,9,11

  • There are two middle number; 6 and 3

Median = (6 + 3) / 2

= 9/2

= 4.5

  • There is no outlier

PLS HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST The average of eight consecutive odd integers is 48. What is the range of these eight numbers?
natima [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 7 + 2x - 5 + 2x - 3 + 2x - 1 + 2x + 3 + 2x + 5 + 2x + 7   Combine like terms

16x / 8  = 48

2x = 48

x = 24

The range is defined as the largest number - the smallest number

The range is between 2x - 7 and 2x + 7

x = 24

The smallest number is 48 - 7 = 41

The largest number is 48 + 7 = 55

The range = 55 - 41 = 14

Why was the 2 in front of the x needed? It was to make sure that I could create an odd number.

Why did I subtract an odd number? That was to make sure that I could create odd numbers.

Why did I start with 2x - 7 and end up 8 terms later at 2x + 7?

So the numbers would cancel and I'd only be left with x's.

Solve<br> 1.)solve 15 &gt; - 2x -9<br> 2.) solve 3x + 8 &lt; 29
kipiarov [429]
1)
15 > -2x-9
15+9 > -2x
24÷(-2) < x (the sign flips because you divide both sides by a negative number)
Hence, x > -12

2)
3x + 8 < 29
3x < 29-8
3x < 21
x < 7 (tada the answer)

The volume of a sphere whose diameter is 18 centimeters is π cubic centimeters. If its diameter were reduced by half, its volume
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

3053.5517 cm^3 ; 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Volume (V) of sphere = (4/3)πr^3 where r = radius

Diameter of sphere = 18 ; radius(r) = diameter / 2 = 18/2 = 9cm

V = (4/3) × π × 9^3

V = 1.3333 × π × 729

V = 3053.5517 cm^3

When diameter(d) is reduced to half

d = d/2

Volume (V1) of sphere with diameter 'd' =

V1 = (4/3)π(d/2)^3

Volume (V2) of sphere with diameter 'd' reduced to half, d = d/2, d/2 * 1/2 = d/4

V2 = (4/3)π(d/4)^3

V1 / V2 = [(4/3)π(d/2)^3] / [(4/3)π(d/4)^3]

V1 / V2 = (d/2)^3 / (d/4)^3

V1 / V2 = [d^3 / 2^3] / [d^3 / 4^3]

V1 / V2 = 8 / 64

V1 / V2 = 1 / 8
