After two numbers are removed from the list $$9,~13,~15,~17,~19,~23,~31,~49,$$ the average and the median each increase by $2$. What is the product of the two numbers that were removed?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The removed numbers are 13 and 19, and the product is:

13*19 = 247

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the set:

{9, 13, 15, 17, 19, 23, 31, 49}

The original median is the number that is just in the middle of the set (in a set of 8 numbers, we take the average between the fourth and fifth numbers)

then the median is:

(17 + 19)/2 = 18

and the mean is:

(9 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 31 + 49)/8 = 22

We want to remove two numbers such that the mean and the median increase by two.

Is immediate to notice that if we want the median to increase by two, we need to remove the number 19 and one number smaller than 17.

Then the median will be equal to:

(17 + 23)/2 = 20

which is 2 more than the previous median.

because 19 assume that we remove the 19 and number N.

To find the value of N, we can solve for the new mean:

((9 + 13 + 15 + 17  + 23 + 31 + 49 - N)/6 = 22 + 2

(this means that if we remove the number 19 and the number N, the mean increases by 2.

(9 + 13 + 15 + 17  + 23 + 31 + 49 - N)/6 = 22 + 2

(9 + 13 + 15 + 17  + 23 + 31 + 49 - N) = 24*6 = 144

157 - N = 144

157 - 144 = N = 13

This means that the other number we need to remove is 13

Then we remove the numbers 13 and 19

The product of the two removed numbers is:

13*19  =247

Answer 2

Answer:

247

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of the original numbers is 176/8 = 22. The median of the original numbers is the average of the middle two numbers: 17 + 19/2 = 18.

Thus, after removing two numbers, we should obtain a list of six numbers whose average is 24 and whose median is 20.

For the median of six numbers to be 20, the middle two numbers in that list must add up to 40. Searching our original list for pairs of numbers that add up to 40, we find two such pairs: 9, 31 and 17, 23. But 9 and 32 can't be the middle numbers after we remove two numbers, so 17 and 23 must be the middle numbers. This tells us that one of the removed numbers must be 19.

For the average of six numbers to be 24, the sum of the six numbers must be 6 ∙ 24 = 144. This is 32 less than the original sum of 176, so if one of the removed numbers is 19, the other must be 32 - 19 = 13.

Therefore, the product of the two removed numbers is 13 ∙ 19 = 247.

7. Jerry has 23 coins in nickels, n, and dimes, d. He
has $1.95 altogether. How many nickels does Jerry
have?

Answers

Answer:

17 nickles !

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify the variables:

n = amount of nickels

d = amount of dimes

Next, setup the equations based on what you know.  The first equation is:

n + d = 28

For the second equation, we know that a dime is worth 10¢ and a nickel is 5¢, so it should be:

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95

This a three-step answer:

In one formula (you can use any of them; most people use the simplest one), single out the variable on one side

Apply the first formula into the second formula, and solve it to get the value of one variable

Apply the answer from the second formula into the first formula, and solve it to get the value of the other variable

======

Step One:

n + d = 28

n + d - d = 28 - d

n = 28 - d

Step Two:

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95

(0.05 * (28 - d)) + 0.10d = 1.95

1.40 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 1.95

1.40 + 0.05d = 1.95

1.40 - 1.40 + 0.05d = 1.95 - 1.40

0.05d = 0.55

d = 11

Step Three:

n = 28 - d

n = 28 - 11

n = 17

======

Your answer should be 17 nickels and 11 dimes.

You can double check by applying the variables into both formulas.

n + d = 28

17 + 11 = 28

28 = 28

0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95

(0.05 * 17) + (0.10 * 11) = 1.95

0.85 + 1.10 = 1.95

1.95 = 1.95

Answers

Answer:

the number of yards be 0.3125

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of yards will each piece of fabric be is shown below:

Given that

There is [tex]3 \frac{3}{4}[/tex] yards long i.e. 15 ÷ 4

And, it should be cut into 12 equal pieces

So, the number of yards   will each piece of fabric be is

= 15 ÷ 4 ÷ 12 ÷ 1

= 15 ÷ 48

= 0.3125

Hence, the number of yards be 0.3125

Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

3 3/4= 13/4

13/4 ÷ 12= 0.3125

0.3125 = 5/16

A boat covers 25 km upstream and 44 km downstream in t hours. Also, it covers 15 km upstream and 22 km downstream in 5 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and that of the stream.​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  boat speed: (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500)

  stream speed: (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500)

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

The boat speed (b) is added to the stream speed (s) going downstream. The stream speed is subtracted going upstream. The given relations tell us ...

  25/(b-s) +44/(b+s) = t

  15/(b-s) +22/(b+s) = 5

This gives us 2 equations in 3 unknowns, so we can only provide a solution in terms of one of the unknowns. Since we are asked for the speeds, they will be provided in terms of t.

Subtracting the first equation from 2 times the second gives ...

  2(15/(b-s) +22/(b+s)) -(25/(b-s) +44/(b+s)) = 2(5) -(t)

  5/(b-s) = 10 -t

  5/(10 -t) = b -s

Substituting for b-s in the second equation gives ...

  15/(5/(10-t)) +22/(b+s) = 5

  30 -3t +22/(b+s) = 5

  22/(b+s) = 3t -25

  22/(3t -25) = b+s

Adding the equations for the sum and difference of speeds, we get ...

  (b-s) +(b+s) = 5/(10-t) +22/(3t -25)

  2b = (5(3t -25) +22(10 -t))/((10-t)(3t-25)) = (95 -7t)/((10-t)(3t-25))

  b = (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500)

Subtracting the equations for sum and difference of speeds, we get ...

  (b+s) -(b-s) = 22/(3t -25) -5/(10 -t)

  2s = (22(10-t) -5(3t -25))/((10-t)(3t-25))

 s = (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500)

__

The speed of the boat in still water is (7t -95)/(6t² -110t +500) km/h.

The speed of the stream is (37t -345)/(6t² -110t +500) km/h.

__

Note that these solutions only make sense for values of t between 25/3 and 345/37, approximately 8.33 < t < 9.32. For t=9 hours, the boat speed is 8 km/h and the stream speed is 3 km/h.

Use the information from the graphs to write the equation in y=ab*^x

Answers

Answer:

1). y = 4(1.75)ˣ

2). y = (2)ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Let the equation of the given exponential graph is,

y = a(b)ˣ

Graph of the given equation passes through two points (0, 4) and (0+1, 4+3)

For point (0, 4),

4 = a(b)⁰

a = 4

For point (1, 7),

7 = 4(b)¹

b = [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

b = 1.75

Therefore, equation of the function is,

y = 4(1.75)ˣ

2). Similarly, equation of the second graph will be same in the form of

y = a(b)ˣ

Second graph passes through the points (0, 1) and (2, 4)

For (0, 1),

1 = a(b)⁰

a = 1

For (2, 4),

4 = 1(b)²

b = 2

Therefore, exponential function representing the graph will be,

y = 1(2)ˣ

y = 2ˣ

The sum of angle on a straight line is 180 degrees, hence;

Answers

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Coin sample Space = {H, T}

Spinner sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

Probability that coin lands on head :

P(H) = 1 /2

Probability that spinner lands on odd number :

Odd numbers = {1, 3, 5, 7} = 4

P(spinner lands on odd) = 4 / 8 = 1/2

Hence, probability that the coin will land on heads and the spinner will land on an odd number = (1 /2 * 1/2) = 1/4
