A city police officer using radar checked the speed of 26 cars as they were travelling down a city street and the data is given

pychu [463]

Answer: The distribution of the data set is positively skewed.

<u>Explanation: </u>

In order to see whether the given data set is symmetric, positively skewed or negatively skewed, we will find the mean, median and mode of the given data set.

For symmetric distribution, $Mean = Median=Mode$

For positively skewed distribution, $Mean > Median>Mode$

For negatively skewed distribution, $Mean < Median$

The mean of the given data set is given below:

$Mean = \frac{27+23+22+38+43+24+25+23+22+54+31+30+29+48+27+25+29+28+26+33+25+21+23+34+20+23}{26}$

$=\frac{753}{26}$

$=28.96$

Now, the Median is:

To find the median we need to sort the data in ascending order as:

$20,21,22,22,23,23,23,23,24,25,25,25,26,27,27,28,29,29,30,31,33,34,38,43,48,54$

$Median=\left(\frac{N+1}{2} \right)^{th} item$

$=\left(\frac{26+1}{2}\right)^{th} item$

$=13.5^{th} item$

$=26+0.5 \times (27-26)$

$=26.5$

$\therefore Median = 26.5$

The mode is the most frequently occurring observation. Therefore the mode is:

$Mode=23$

Since the $Mean >Median>Mode$ , therefore the distribution of the given data set is positively skewed.

What is<br> |-3+45-(-14)|+(-|-87+12/46|<br> simplified

USPshnik [31]

|x|=absoulte value of x which means whatever x is, make it positive
so first solve any division/multiplication

the only one is 12/46=6/23
so we do the absoulte value signs
-3+45-(-14)
-(-14)=+14
-3+45+14=56
absoulute value of 56=56

56+(-|-87+6/23|)
-87+6/23=-86 and 17/23
absoulte value of -86 and 17/23=86 and 17/23
there is a negative sign in front of the absoulte vaulue so make it negative
56-86 and 17/23=-30 and 17/23 or about -30.73913
