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.

The parallelogram shown below has an area of 24 units2.
Ber [7]

Answer:

9

===================================================

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is equal to the base times height. The formula to use is A = b*h. The height and base are always perpendicular to one another.

The base is some unknown variable b. Multiply the base by the height 15 to get 15*b which is equal to the area 135

Therefore, 15*b = 135

Divide both sides by 15 and we isolate b

15b = 135

15b/15 = 135/15

b = 9

So the base is 9

Check:

area = base*height = 9*15 = 135

so the answer is confirmed

side note: we never use the value 17 at all. It is likely put in there as a distraction.

the area of a room is 96 square feet. The length is (x+1) feet and the width is (x-3) feet. find the dimensions of the room
Delvig [45]

Answer:

length = 12 feet and width = 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

since the area = 96 ft² then

(x + 1)(x - 3) = 96 ( A = lw )

expand the factors on the left side

x² - 2x - 3 = 96 ( subtract 96 from both sides )

x² - 2x - 99 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 11)(x + 9) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 11 = 0 ⇒ x = 11

x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9

but x > 0 ⇒ x = 11

length = 11 + 1 = 12 feet and width = 11 - 3 = 8 feet

erastova [34]

Answer:

The amplitude A of the wave is the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, which is indicated by the dotted line. In this example, the medium moves up and down, whereas the disturbance of the surface propagates parallel to the surface at a speed v. v=λT=λf.
