Which of the following can be added without altering any of the fractions?
1 answer:
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>
Why? Because the denominators are both the same at 2x+8. We can only add or subtract fractions when the denominators are the same. The general rule for adding fractions is
We have numerators A and B added together over a common denominator C. If we didn't have a common denominator, then we'd have to do a bit of algebraic manipulation to get both fractions to a common denominator. It doesn't have to be the lowest common denominator (LCD), though it's often more efficient that way.

When the outlier is removed The mean would increase.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Outliers are the value that lies outside the set of data. i.e. the data doesn't fit in the group.
Removing outliers can affect mean more than median. Because outlier removal sometimes affect the median but in a small percentage or sometimes it will remain the same.
Let us prove, consider 16 values one with 78 and other 15 with values nearly 85, 84 that will give the mean value as 84.
78, 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85.
Mean =.
Mean =.
Mean =.
Mean = 84.
Remove 78 from the data set then the data set is 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85 and number of data is reduced to 15.
Mean =.
Mean =.
Mean = 84.4.
The mean is increased.
