On a certain exam, Tony corrected 20 papers and found the mean for his group to be 70. Alice corrected the remaining 10 papers
1 answer:
Answer:
The mean of the combined group is 76.67 ≈ 77
Step-by-step explanation:
- The sum of the grades in Tom's group is 20×70 = 1400
- The sum of grades in Alice's group is 10×90=900
- The sum of gradees in the combined group is =1400+900=2300
- Then the mean grade of the combined group is
where
- 2300 is the sum of the all grades in the combined group
- 30 is the total number of people in the group

For this sort of problem, you need to be familiar with prefixes.
So:
megabyte = bytes
kilobyte = bytes
and a regular byte would just be
Now, you will need to do a conversion:
I'm going to explain this just in case, but we convert megabytes to regular bytes in the first half by using the information I gave you above. (In one megabyte, there are bytes!)
In the second fraction thought, remember one kilobyte is bytes. However, you usually only see one of each thing on the bottom of fractions, so you need to add a negative sign to the 3. (technically you could just do
, but I think it is more correct to do write it out how I did).
*** They do equal the same thing though! Do whichever way is easier for you!
Now, your answer should be:
kilobytes (1000 kilobytes)
