Answer:

The number is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Given the statement: Five times a number plus four times the same number is equal to 360.

"Five times a number" means 5x

"Four times the same number" means 4x

Then, as per the given information we have;

$5x + 4x = 360$

Combine like terms;

9x = 360

Divide both sides by 9 we get;

x = 40

Therefore, the number is, 40.

Here are the heights in inches of 10 professional basketball players: 66, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 80, 82, 84. The mean of these

Answer:

Question 4: The set has 66 as an outlier and removing it increases the mean by about 1.3 inches.

Question 5: The set has 50 as an outlier and removing it increases the mean by about 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 4:

Given heights are:

66, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 80, 82, 84

The mean is: 77.6 inches

Removing 66 will make the mean increase to 78.9

So,

The set has 66 as an outlier and removing it increases the mean by about 1.3 inches.

Question 5:

50, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 80, 82, 84

The mean is 76.

We can clearly see that 50 is an outlier as it is quite less than the given data.

Calculating mean after removing 50 will give us mean equal to 78.9

So the correct answer is:

The set has 50 as an outlier and removing it increases the mean by about 3.

Businesses in a country are listed by size: small, medium, and large. Explain why business size is an example of an ordinal-scal

dem82 [27]

Answer: C. The size of a business is ordinal-scaled because it has values that can be used as an order or rank of a categorical variable.

Step-by-step explanation: Ordinal variables are simply categorical in nature just like nominal variables, however, the difference exists in the fact that ordinal labels posses an ordered rank or level unlike nominal variables. Though the extent or width of the difference between these labels cannot be ascertained. In the scenario above, size of businesses are labeled qualitatively with labels such as : small, medium and large. This labels depicts and follow a certain order with small being the least, then medium, then large. Telling us large businesses are superior in size to small and medium and medium is superior to large. Though the extent of the difference cannot be accurately ascertained.
