Answer: B. Outlier

Step-by-step explanation:

An outlier is an extremely large or extremely small data value in a data set such that it appears far from the other data points when we plot data points on scatter plot or box plot.

Thus, the data point that is the farthest from other data points when the box plot is NOT symmetrical is Outlier.

Its presence affects the value of mean directly. So when a data set have outliers , we prefer Median(Mid value of a data set) as the best measure of central tendency because existence of outliers does not effect Median .

Hence, the correct option is B. Outlier.

Agata [3.3K]

Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, A container has 12 and $\frac{3}{4}$ cups of lemonade

Asher gives each of his classmates $\frac{7}{8}$ of a cup of lemonade

To find: Number of classmates received the lemonade

From given question,

Total cups of lemonade = $12\frac{3}{4}$

$\rightarrow 12\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 \times 12 + 3}{4} = \frac{51}{4}$

cups of lemonade received by each classmate = $\frac{7}{8}$

Thus, number of classmates received the lemonade can be found by dividing total cups of lemonade by cups of lemonade received by each classmate

$\rightarrow \frac{\frac{51}{4}}{\frac{7}{8}}=\frac{51}{4} \times \frac{8}{7}$

$\rightarrow 14.57$

Thus Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

When Julio cracked open his piggy bank, he

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

52 quarters, 42 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of quarters q, and the number of dimes d.

q+d=94

0.25q+0.1d=17.20

Subtract q from both sides of the first equation to isolate d:

d=94-q

0.25q+0.1(94-q)=17.20

0.25q+9.4-0.1q=17.20

0.15q=7.8

q=52

d=94-q=42

Hope this helps!
