Answer:
x = 21/2
y = -19/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 17 = 4y + 7x
5x - 7x - 4y = 17
-2x - 4y = 17
6x + 8y = - 13
-2x - 4y = 17 | ×2 |
6x + 8y = - 13 | ×1 |
-4x - 8y = 34
6x + 8y = - 13
___________+
2x = 21
x = 21/2
-2x - 4y = 17
-2(21/2) - 4y = 17
-21 - 4y = 17
-4y = 17 + 21
-4y = 38
y = -38/4
y = -19/2
When we say a statistic is resistant, we mean the extreme values do not affect the statistic to a large extent or to an extent which makes a major difference. Mean and median are example of such statistics. By changing the extreme values we do not see a substantial difference in the value of mean and median for the data set.
Consider a sample: 1,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8
The median for this data set is 4.
If we change the extreme values to get this sample: -5,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,100
The median will still be the same i.e. 4. This is what is meant by a resistant statistic.
So option a is the correct ans.
