8. How do outliers affect the mean of a data set?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]2 years ago

Answer:

it depends on whether the outlier is a high outlier or a low outlier

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a data set is the average of the data set. So if I had the data set {5, 2, 10} the average would be (5+2+10)/3 = 5.667. Now if I added an outlier like 10,000 it would increase the mean significantly. It changes it significantly but I cannot say whether it increases or decreases it without knowing the value of the outlier, since if I had the outlier -10,000 that would decrease the mean, but I had the outlier 10,000 it would increase it. So it depends on whether the outlier is a high outlier or a low outlier

Answer:

16m+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing about our proprieties about parentheses and negatives, let's solve this out.

<u>A negative multiplied by a negative give you a positive</u>

therefore....

-(-16m-1)= 16m+1

The -1 also receives the negative because the problem was in a parentheses :)

An element with mass 780 grams decays by 16.3% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 16 minutes, to the nearest
vitfil [10]
Exponential decay is a very common process especially when we are talking about radioactive materials. So, there is already a common formula for this type of behavior which is written below:

A = Pe^-rt
where
A is the amount left after time t
P is the initial amount at t=0
r is the rate

Substituting the values,
A = (780 g)(e^-0.163*16)
A = 57.5 g
