The following data shows the weight, in pounds, of 6 boxes:

5, 3, 3, 4, 5, 4

What is the value of the mean absolute deviation of the weight of the boxes, and what does it represent about the weight of a box?

A))1.2 pounds; on average, the weight of a box varies 1.2 pounds from the mean of 4 pounds

B))0.7 pound; the weight of 50% of the boxes is greater than 0.7 pound

C)) 1.2 pounds; the weight of 50% of the boxes is greater than 1.2 pounds

D))0.7 pound; on average, the weight of a box varies 0.7 pound from the mean of 4 pounds

The answer is D. Let me know if you don't understand that.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

To find the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of the weight of the boxes, first find the mean.

5 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 4 = 24

24/6 = 4

Now find the absolute distance from the mean for each of the numbers by subtracting the mean from each of the numbers. It doesn't matter if it's negative.

5 - 4 = 1

3 - 4 = 1

3 - 4 = 1

4 - 4 = 0

5 - 4 = 1

4 - 4 = 0

Now find the mean of those numbers.

1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 4

4/6 = 0.7

So now we know the answer is either B or D.

B. 0.7 pound; the weight of 50% of the boxes is greater than 0.7 pound

D. 0.7 pound; on average, the weight of a box varies 0.7 pound from the mean of 4 pounds

Hope this helps! :)

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
