plug in -16 for x
so (-16) -(-8)/4
and simplify, but don't forget PEMDAS! :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(-16)-(-8)/4
(-16)-(-2)
(-16) +2
-14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
–6
–2
2
6

... then you might have been missing a parenthesis...
try ((-16)-(-8))/4
so (-16 + 8 ) /4
(-8) /4
-2

What is the mean of the set of numbers? {–8, –4, –3, –11}
A.–6.5
B.–4.5
C.4.5
D.6.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Mean is green, so add and divide.

mean = average = (sum of numbers) / (number of numbers)
(-8 + -4 + -3 + -11)/4 =

-8+-4+-3+-11 = -26
-26/4 = -6.5
