Question 183117: this one has me stumped. I don't know why, I usually can get averages, but my mind is stuck here:
8. The final grade for a particular course is calculated by dividing total points earned by total points available. There are 120 points available in the first half of the course, and 140 points in the second half of the course. If a student earns 81% in the first half of the course, how many points must the student earn in the second half in order to earn an 80% B final grade?
thanks for the help.

Question 183343: I have to determine g(6).
i have piecewise functions: g(x) = 7+x for x<5
= 7-x for x>=5
all I have to do is replace 6 for x?
So i would have g(6) - 7+6 = 13 and g(6) = 7-6=1
How do I continue?

Solving this and find the interval notation, I have one question.
I5-8xI>11 (5-8x is written as an absolute value)
ALSO
I2x-7I<=9 (The 2x-7 is also absolute value)
When solving it and leaving absolute value out, does 2x-7 and 5-8x change to 2x+7 since everything coming from absolute value is positive?

Question 188969:
In an experiment to determine which of three different missile systems is preferable, the
propellant burning rates were measured. The data after coding is given below.
System I 24.0 16.7 22.8 19.8 18.9
System II 23.2 19.8 18.1 17.6 20.2 17.8
System III 18.4 19.1 17.3 17.3 19.7 18.9 18.8 19.3
Use the Kruskal-Wallis test and a significance level of a = 0.05 to test the hypothesis that
propellant burning rates are the same for the three missiles.
