Rounding to the first decimal place, calculate the mean for the following distribution of homicide rates in the 12 metropolitan areas with the lowest homicide rates (homicides per 100,000 population) in the U. S. in 2017. Mesa, AZ: 4.1 Seattle, WA: 3.8 Portland, OR (tie): 3.4 New York, NY (tie): 3.4 Virginia Beach, VA: 3.3 San Jose, CA: 3.1 El Paso, TX: 2.9 Austin, TX: 2.6 San Diego, CA: 2.4 Suffolk County, Long Island, NY: 2.2 Montgomery County, MD: 2.0 Fairfax, VA: 1.7

Solution :

Given :

X = homicide rate (homicides per 100,00 population)

n = 12 = metropolitan areas

Area                          X (homicides per 100,000 population)

Mesa, AZ                   4.1

Seattle, WA               3.8

Portland, OR (tie)      3.4

New York, NY(tie)     3.4

Virginia beach, VA   3.3

San Jose, CA           3.1

EI, Paso, TX             2.6

Austin, TX                2.6

San Diago, CA         2.4

Suffolk County         2.2

Montgomery, MD    2.0

Fairfax, VA              1.7

Therefore, the mean of X =

                                          = 2.9

Therefore, the mean of homicide rater in the 12 metropolitan areas is 2.9 homicide per 100,000 population.

choice b is correct

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the following system of inequalities;

we are required to graph the solution to the system of inequalities. using a graphing tool, the graph of the system is as shown in the attachment. the continuous line represents the graph of while the dotted line represents .
