If we plot the data on the graph, we can see that the data is skewed to the right (positive skew) and there is an outlier. In skewed data and presence of outlier, the median is most commonly used measure of central tendency. This is because a positive skew would result in a positive bias to the mean. Meaning that it would be a lot larger than the median and not really representing the actual central tendency. The median however is less affected by the skew and outliers.

Answer: Median, because the data are skewed and there is an outlier

How many 5-member chess teams can be chosen from 15 interested players? Consider only the members selected, not their board posi

ryzh [129]

Answer:

3003 number of 5-member chess teams can be chosen from 15 interested players.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of the interested players = 15

To Find:

Number of 5-member chess teams that can be chosen = ?

Solution:

Combinations are a way to calculate the total outcomes of an event where order of the outcomes does not matter. To calculate combinations, we will use the formula $nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n - r)!}$

where

n represents the total number of items,

r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

Now we have n = 15 and r = 5

Substituting the values,

$15C_5 = \frac{15!}{5!(15- 5)!}$

$15C_5 = \frac{15!}{5!(10)!}$

$15C_5 = \frac{15\times \times 14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 }{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1(10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)}$

$15C_5 = \frac{15\times \times 14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11}{(5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)}$

$15C_5 = \frac{360360}{120}$

$15C_5 = 3003$

In the data set below, what is the interquartile range? 7 1 5 5 9 Submit

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range is the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile.

First find the median.

The median is the middle value of the data set arranged in ascending order

1 5 5 7 9 ← data in ascending order

↑ median

The lower quartile is the middle value of the data to the left of the median. If there is not an exact middle then it the average of the values on either side of the middle.

1 5

↑ lower quartile = $\frac{1+5}{2}$ = 3

The upper quartile is the middle value of the data to the right of the median.

7 9

↑ upper quartile = $\frac{7+9}{2}$ = 8

Thus

interquartile range = 8 - 3 = 5

taurus [48]

Answer:

$ 0.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if to assume, 'c' - price of the coffee and 'd' - price of the doughnuts, then

2) it is possible to write the equation 1 (when five MinB enter): 3d+5c=3.3;

3) it is possible to write the equation 2 (when three aliens entered): 4d+3c=2.75;

$4) \ \left \{ {{3d+5c=3.3} \atop {4d+3c=2.75}} \right. \ = > \ \left \{ {{c=0.45} \atop {d=0.35}} \right.$

5) if c=0.45 and d=0.35, then Ag.Z. paid 0.35+0.45=$ 0.8.
