Answer:

Since the data is strongly skewed to the right this means that the big majority of the scores are above the mean. As a consecuence, the mean doesnt reflect the overall performance of the students, in reality this good performance (compared to the mean) is compensated by a few very poor grades (we may assume blank exams), which push the mean back. This is why the median is a more accurate indicator of the score of the average student, because the median is less affected by the swewedness than the median is.

Factor. 2v^2-11v-63
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

  (2v +7)(v -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 2·(-63) = -126 that have a sum of -11 are 7 and -18, so we can rewrite the middle term to -18v+7v. Then we can factor by grouping.

  2v^2 -18v +7v -63 = 2v(v -9) +7(v -9)

  = (2v +7)(v -9)

PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP !!!!!!
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

y = - x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-2=2}{2+2} = \frac{-4}{4} = - 1 , thus

y = - x ← equation of line
