Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

→It is given that the distribution is skewed left, and the range of the data is between 50 and 90. →When the distribution is skewed left Mean < Median < Mode →Since Mean and Median considers all the variate while calculating measure of center for a given set of Data set.When you calculate median you only count middle value among all the variate and when you calculate mean you use all the variate in the data set. →When you will plot the graph of Left Skewed distribution you will find that Median is at the center of the left skewed graph than mean.So, Median is probably a better representation of the data set.

In a small chess tournament, 20 matches were played. Find out how many people were involved if it is known that each participant
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

<em>5</em><em> players participated in the tournament.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

In a small chess tournament, 20 matches were played.

Let us assume that n number of players participated in the tournament

As in each game 2 players play, so the number of ways they can play is,

=\ ^nC_2

As they played 2 games with every other participant in the tournament.

So the total number of games is,

=\ 2\times ^nC_2

But it is given to be 20, so

\Rightarrow \ 2\times ^nC_2=20

\Rightarrow \ ^nC_2=10

\Rightarrow \dfrac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}=10

\Rightarrow \dfrac{n(n-1)}{2}=10

\Rightarrow {n(n-1)=20

As 5\times 4=20, so we get n=5.

Therefore, 5 players participated in the tournament.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

10y-50=-20

To Find:

y= ?

Solution:

10y-50=-20    ........Given

Step 1. Adding 50 to both the side we get

10y-50+50=-20+50\\10y=30

Step 2. Dividing by 10 on both the side we get

\dfrac{10y}{10}=\dfrac{30}{10}\\\\y=3

Therefore the value of 'y' is,

y=3
