Which of the ordered pairs in the form (x, y) is a solution of this equation?
(3, –8), (4, 4)
a. neither is a solution. b. both are solutions. c. the first is a solution, but the second is not. d. the first is not a solution, but the second is.

the answer is b

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
