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

Mumz [18]

Answer:

She can be a member for 8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months

30 + 10.5(x) = 114

30 + 10.5x = 114

10.5x = 114-30

10.5x = 84

x = 84/10.5

x = 8 mints

Determine any data values that are missing from the table, assuming that the data represent a linear function.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

c. 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing y value be y2.

If the data represent a linear function, then:

\frac{6 - 2}{2 - 1} = \frac{y_2 - 6}{4 - 2}

\frac{4}{1} = \frac{y_2 - 6}{2}

4 = \frac{y_2 - 6}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

4 \times 2 = \frac{y_2 - 6}{2} \times 2

8 = y_2 - 6

Add 6 to both sides

8 + 6 = y_2 - 6 + 6

14 = y_2

The missing value is 14
