Answer:

A. 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

20, 12, 27, 23, 18, 20, 30, 26

Mean = 22

Required:

Calculate the Mean Absolute Deviation (M.A.D)

Since, we have the mean; we start calculating M.A.D by subtracting the mean from each data

20 - 22 = -2

12 - 22 = -10

27 - 22 = 5

23 - 22 = 1

18 - 22 = -4

20 -22 = -2

30 - 22 = 8

26 - 22 = 4

The we find absolute value of the result above

|-2| = 2

|-10| = 10

|5| = 5

|1| = 1

|-4| = 4

|-2| = 2

|8| = 8

|4| = 4

Lastly, we calculate the mean of the above to give M.A.D

$M.A.D = \frac{2 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 4}{8}$

$M.A.D = \frac{36}{8}$

$M.A.D = 4.5$

Option A is correct.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Leon is correct. (Option 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Leon verified that the side lengths 21, 28, 35 form a Pythagorean triple using this procedure.

Step 1: Find the greatest common factor of the given lengths: 7

Step 2: Divide the given lengths by the greatest common factor: 3, 4, 5

Step 3: Verify that the lengths found in step 2 form a Pythagorean triple.

we have to explain whether or not Leon is correct.

As, 3,4,5 forms a Pythagorean triplet i.e satisfies the Pythagoras theorem

$Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2$

⇒ $5^2=3^2+4^2$

Let a, b, c forms a Pythagorean triplet

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Multiplied by 4 on both sides

⇒ $4a^2+4b^2=4c^2$

⇒ ${2a}^2+{2b}^2={2c}^2$

Hence, we say 4a, 4b and 4c also forms a Pythagorean triplet.

∴ multiplying every length of a Pythagorean triple by the same whole number results in a Pythagorean triple.

Hence, Leon is correct.

inessss [21]

Generally, they are $1.69 apiece, and this week they are 4 for 5$

This means that this week, they are $1.25 apiece, meaning you spend less, by about $0.44

This weeks is cheaper by 44 cents

CALC 1: Spud's mom is going to make him a round birthday cake, and has asked for your help. Spud is a bit weird, and has already

Ratling [72]

Answer:

15.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A slice of a round pie is a sector of a circle.

The perimeter of a slice is the arc length s plus twice the radius r.

P = s + 2r

s = rθ = r(16/360) = r/22.5. So,

16 = (r/22.5) + 2r = (r + 45r)/22.5 = 46r/22.5

16 × 22.5 = 46r

360 = 46r

r = 7.826

D = 2r = 2 × 7.826 = 15.7 in

The diameter of the cake should be 15.7 in.

Check:

$\begin{array}{rcl}P & = & s + 2r\\& = & \dfrac{r}{22.5} + 2r\\\\16 & = & \dfrac{7.826}{22.5} + 2 \times 7.826\\\\16 & = & 0.35 + 15.65\\16 & = & 16.00\\\end{array}$

It checks.

A multiple must be greater than or equal to the largest starting number. True or False

podryga [215]

I'll use multiples of 2 and 4 as an example:

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8...

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16...

The least common multiple in this case is 4. The LCM is always ≥ the largest starting number, which is 4 for this example. Therefore, the statement is true.

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>
