If the data is symmetrical, then the mean is the best measure of central tendency to use, and the standard deviation is the best spread to use.

If the data is asymmetrical, the median is the best measure of central tendency to use, and the inter-quarterly range is the best spread to use.

<h3>What are symmetrical and asymmetrical data?</h3>

A histogram for symmetrical data will give a symmetrical shape, and the mean, median and mode will all be the same value. Therefore, the best measure of the central tendency to use is the mean. The standard deviation shows how far away the values in a given data set are from the mean, and since the mean is used as the measure of central tendency in this case, the standard deviation should be used as the spread.

A histogram for a an asymmetric data set will give an asymmetric shape, and the mean is not always equal to the median. Therefore, the best measure of central tendency to use is the median. The inter-quarterly range shows the range of the middle 50% of a certain data, which is considered from the median value. Since the median is used as the measure of central tendency in this case, it is wise to use the inter-quarterly range as the measure of spread.

If ab = 9 and a² + b² = 81, then (a+b)² = ?

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Through some clever algebra, we can combine our first two equations using the fact that

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

We have the a² and the b² in the equation $a^2+b^2=81$ , and we <em>almost </em>have a 2ab in the equation $ab=9$ . To get that 2ab, we can simply double both sides of the first equation to get $2ab=18$ . From there, we'll add the first two equations together, giving us the summed equation

$a^2+b^2+2ab=81+18\\a^2+2ab+b^2=99$

And since $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ , we can equivalently say that

$(a+b)^2=99$

ken wants to rent a car for a week and to pay to more than $130. how far can he drive if the car rental cost $94 a week plus $0.

cupoosta [38]

If Ken wants to pay more than 130, he needs to drive more than 90 miles. You subtract 94 from 130, which equals 36. 36 divided by .4 (for the price per mile) and it equals 90.
