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.

Answer:

8.5 h = 510 min

Step-by-step explanation:

An hour is equal to 60 minutes. Half an hour is 30 minutes.

We can break "8.5" into 8 hours and 0.5 of an hour (which is 30 minutes).

Knowing this, we can multiply 8 by 60 since each hour is 60 minutes. We then get 480. We still need to add the remaining 0.5 of an hour (30 minutes) so we add 480 + 30. We then get 510.

Therefore 8.5 hours = 510 minutes. Hope this helps!

The difference between two numbers is 15. If 8 is added to twice the greater number, the result is 4 less than 3 times the lesse
yuradex [85]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the greater number and y be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

x-y=15

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

2x+8 = 3y-4 \iff 2x-3y = -12

So, we have the follwing system:

\begin{cases} x-y=15\\2x-3y = -12\end{cases}

From the first equation, we can derive x = y+15, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

2(y+15)-3y = -12 \iff 2y + 30 -3y = -12 \iff -y = -42 \iff y = 42

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

x-42=15 \iff x=15+42 \iff x = 57
