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.

Alla and balla together drink 750ML of water. Of alla drinks 50% more than balla how much does Alla drink
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

450 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of water drank by Alla and y be the amount of water drank by Balla.

We have been given that Alla and Balla together drink 750 ML of water. We can represent this information as:

x+y=750...(1)  

We are also told that Alla drinks 50% more than Balla. We can represent this information as:

x=1.5y...(2)

From equation (1) we will get,

y=750-x  

Upon substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

x=1.5(750-x)

Upon distributing 1.5 to right hand side of the equation we will get,

x=1125-1.5x

Upon adding 1.5x to both sides of equation we will get,

x+1.5x=1125-1.5x+1.5x

2.5x=1125

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 2.5.

\frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{1125}{2.5}

x=450

Therefore, Alla drank 450 ml of water.
