How does a large outlier affect the data set?

Mathematics
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
5 0
A large outlier could affect the data set because it could make the mean larger, which just means that the average number of the set would be a lot bigger than it already is.

An example would be: 1, 3, 5, 19

19 is obviously the large outlier, so to find the mean, we would add everything together then divide by 4.

The mean would be 28/4=7 So 7 is our mean, but if the large outlier were, let's say 50, then the mean would be way larger than it already is.

~Hope this helped!~

If x > 0 then |x|/x = 1 !!!

If x<0 then |x|/x = -1

*below is an explanation! :)

_______________________________________

- I found the answer to this by choosing a any number that satisfies the requirement of x > 0 and plugging it into |x|/x  

-----

Watch this!

Let's take 10 for example. 10 is greater than 0 like x>0 requires!

Let's plug it into |x|/x

|10| ÷ 10 = 1

*Remember that | | this means "absolute value" or whatever is in between the two bars will always be positive (+)

-------

Now let's take a random number that satisfies 0> x and do the same as we did above!

Let's take -3 and plut it into |x|/x

|-3| ÷ -3 = -1

What is the equation of the quadratic function that has a minimum at (7.-3) and goes through (9.9)?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

X² - 14x + 48= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quadratic equation well have to look for the root of the equation.

So the roots are at x= 6 and x= 8

The quadratic curve didn't pass the origin .

It intercepted the x axis at 6 and 8 and that's the roots.

So our equation is

(X-6)(x-8)= x²-8x -6x +48

X² - 14x + 48= 0

I am Lyosha [343]
To find the probability that the mom is at the front of the line:

\frac{number \: of \: favorable \: outcomes}{total \: outcomes} \\ = \frac{number \: of \: ways \: where \: mum \: is \: at \: the \: front \: of \: the \: line}{total \: number \: of \: ways} \\ = \frac{1c1 ×4! }{5!} \\ = \frac{24}{120} \\ = \frac{1}{5}
Therefore the answer is 1/5.

Hope it helps!
