Median and IQR are the most appropriate measures of center and spread for this data set.

<h3>Why are Median and IQR the most appropriate?</h3>

Among the 3 central tendencies that includes the mean, median and mode; the median is the better measure because of the followings:

Mean is affected by extreme values
Mean is not correct if more outliers are present
Mean may not represent the nature of the data whether skewed right or left.

Also, the median as the middle entry is not affected by extreme items or outliers, so the median is better than mean,

Furthermore, for the measure of spread, the IQR is better since extreme items will show higher std deviation and also some outliers mislead.

Therefore, Option B is correct.

What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations? 4x − 3y = 3 5x − 4y = 3

andrew-mc [135]

Solve 4x − 3y = 3 and 5x − 4y = 3

Step 1: Solve for x in 4x-3y=3:
4x-3y=3
4x-3y+3y=3+3y [Add 3y to both sides]
4x=3y+3
 $\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{3x+3}{4}$ [Divide both sides by 4]
x= $\frac{3}{4}y+ \frac{3}{4}$

Step 2: Substitute $\frac{3}{4}y+ \frac{3}{4}$ for x in 5x-4y=3
5x-4y=3
5( $\frac{3}{4}y+ \frac{3}{4}$ )-4y=3
 $\frac{-1}{4}y+ \frac{15}{4} =3$
$\frac{-1}{4}y+ \frac{15}{4} - \frac{15}{4} =3- \frac{15}{4}$ [Subtract $\frac{15}{4}$ to both sides]
$\frac{-1}{4}y= \frac{-3}{4}$
$\frac{ \frac{-1}{4}y}{ \frac{-1}{4} }= \frac{\frac{-3}{4} }{ \frac{-1}{4}}$ [Divide both sides by $\frac{-1}{4}$ ]
y = 3

Step 3: Substitute 3 for y in x = $\frac{3}{4}y+ \frac{3}{4}$
$\frac{3}{4}y+ \frac{3}{4}$
$\frac{3}{4}(3)+ \frac{3}{4}$
x = 3

In 2000, 54% of the residents in a large city regularly used newspapers for getting news and this has decreased at an average r

Anika [276]

X=number of years after 2000.
y=percentage of residents (still) reads newspapers for information
initial value (= y-intercept) = percentage in 2000 = 54%
slope = increase each year = -1.7% (because it is a decrease)
the slope intercept form of the equation is therefore:
y=slope(x)+initial value, or
y=-1.7x+54 (in %)

4/5 N= 2/3. N = ? 2/15 5/6 1 1/5 1 7/15

Verizon [17]

Answer:

N = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 N= 2/3. Find N (solve for N).

Isolate N. To do this, multiply both sides of the equation by (5/4):

(5/4)(4/5)N= (5/4)(2/3)

becomes N = 10/12, or N = 5/6.
