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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]2 years ago
4 0

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

We want to see if the given function represents a linear function.

We will see that yes, it does.

So we have the function:

y = f(x) = 30 + 5*x

And a general linear function is written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing these two, we can see that both have the same general shape, thus, our function is also a linear function.

A graph of our function also can be seen below, where it is evident that it is a line.

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First you make the denominator on the fractions the same

3 * 2 = 6

Multiply the number the same for the numerator

3 * 1 = 3

so the fraction is 3/6 since 3/6 = 1/2

4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6
