For skewed data displays, the median is often a better estimate of the center of distribution than the mean because the former is unaffected by large numbers.

<h3>What is mean?</h3>

Mean refers to the average of set of two or more numbers.

Mean of a set having 'n'  numbers = \frac{Sum Of 'n' Numbers}{n}

<h3>What is median?</h3>

Median refers to the middle-most value of a list of numbers, arranged either in ascending or descending order.

Median = \left \{ {{\frac{n}{2}^{th}  term, if n = even } \atop( (\frac{n-1}{2}+\frac{n+1}{2})/2)^{th} term, if n = odd   }} \right.

Now,

  • Since it takes the average of all the values in the data set, the mean is the most widely used measure of central tendency.
  • Because it is unaffected by exceptionally big numbers, the median performs better than the mean when analyzing data from skewed distributions.

Hence, For skewed data displays, the median is often a better estimate of the center of distribution than the mean.

How do you do this problems?

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It's based on similarity of triangles

DEF ~ △XYZ

\implies \mathsf{ \frac{DE }{ XY } =  \frac{EF}{YZ} =  \frac{ FD}{ZX}}

The sides should be taken in order, like the triangles start with DE and XY so, we'll proportionate DE and XY and then the next two sides and so on.

I'm using \mathsf{ \frac{DE }{XY } =  \frac{EF}{YZ} }to get the value of x.

[You can use any two fractions out of the three given above. ]

\implies \mathsf{ \frac{10}{x - 1} =  \frac{8}{4}  }

\implies \mathsf{ \frac{10}{x - 1} =  2  }

\implies \mathsf{ 10 =  2 (x - 1) }

\implies \mathsf{ 10 =  2 x - 2 }

\implies \mathsf{ 10  + 2=  2 x  }

\implies \mathsf{ 1 2=  2 x  }

\implies \mathsf{ x = 6 }

Hence, the value of x is 6.

IN NEED OF ANSWER :( A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest​ side, and the th
vichka [17]

Answer:

a = 33ft

b= 66ft

c = 48 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • a (shortest side)= a
  • b (second side)=2a (twice the length of the shortest side)
  • c (third side)= a+15 ( 15 feet more than the length of the shortest side)

Since:  

Perimeter = a+b+c

Replacing with the values given:

147 = a+2a+(a+15)

147 = a+2a+a+15

147-15 = a+2a+a

132 = 4a

132/4 = a

33 ft= a  

Substituting a =33 in the other expressions:

b=2a = 2(33) = 66 ft

c= a+15 = 33+15 = 48 ft
