Tamar surveyed six friends, asking each how many times he or she had ridden in a helicopter. The numbers of times she recorded were 0, 0, 0, 1, 3, and 8. What is the mean absolute deviation of the number of times?

Round to the nearest tenth, if needed.

a. 0

b. 2

c. 2.3

d. 2.5

well, to do this we first need to find the mean of all values.

we need to find the distance of each value from that mean (subtract the mean from each value, ignore minus signs)

Then find the mean of those distances.

so, after we do all of that with the given numbers, our final result would be 2.333333333 (It goes on) we round it up to 2.3, and viola! the answer is C.

step-by-step explanation:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
