The amount of salary a technician takes home in a month increases with sales of stocks, the amount of charge fees, and the number of working hours. Which of the following is the dependent variable?

The median of the data set is the number that falls in the middle position after arranging the numbers in the data set in the ascending order.

-6, -4, 1, 8, 12

There are 5 numbers in the given data set, therefore the median falls in the third position from either side. Inspecting the data set, 1 fall in the third position, which is the median for the given data set.

we are asked to find the percent change in weight gain of a person.

First, we need to find the change in weight gained over the 4 months

Change in weight= 186-176=10 lb

The percent change is expressed as change in weight over original weight *100. Then

The percent change in weight is 6% to the nearest whole number.

We required to find the units of finding the weight of a sheet of paper. The SI unit of mass of an object is kilogram. However, kilogram is a large quantity that cannot be used to measure smaller objects.

Thus, derived units of mass are used to find the mass of other objects. In this case, the mass of a sheet paper can be recorded in grams.

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

The scientist found that as water temperature increases, the fish population decreases. This means that the two variables move in opposite directions—when one increases, the other decreases.

This type of relationship is called a negative correlation.

In this case, we use a calculator to estimate the positive square root of 42.

Then, multiplying the square root above with 6 becomes

Then, the approximate value of 6 time the positive square root of 42 is 38.9.

We are tasked to find the unknown values of x in the given equation.

First, we add 8 to both sides of the equation.

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

From our resulting equation, a=14, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition (u=a) becomes

Solving for x

The second condition (u= -a) becomes

Solving for x

Thus, the value of x is 4 or -3

we are asked to find the area of a rectangle, which can only be found by finding the relation between length and width. Now, letting x represent the width, then

Length of rectangle=(x+2)

Width of the rectangle= x

Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+2)*x

A=x(x+2)

Therefore, the area of the rectangle becomes x(x+2).

9/20 is the same as 9 divided by 20, which is evaluated 9÷20. The value becomes 0.45.

Thus, 9/20 is equal to 0.45.

A histogram will be appropriate to represent the time the students wake up every day of the week. The histogram is used to represent the frequency of the variable with another variable. In our case the vertical axis will represent the number of students (frequency) while the time of waking up on the horizontal axis.
