ws the number of texts sent by each person during one day. Comparing the data sets, which inference can be made?
A) The number of texts sent by boys varies greatly.

B) The median is the best measure to use to compare the sets.

C) The outlier of 168 does not affect either the mean or median.

D) The median for the number of texts sent by boys is less than the median for the girls.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The inference that can be made by the given data sets is: Option: B

       B) The median is the best measure to use to compare the sets.  

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a data set for Boys and Girls as:

Boys: 19, 23, 26, 27, 30

Girls: 14, 17, 21, 25, 168

  • clearly we could see that there is a outlier in the data of girls i.e. 168 as it is a too high value as compared to other data values in the set.

This means that there is a greater spread in the number of texts sent by girls as compared to boys.

and data for girls have a greater variance as compared to boys.

          Hence, option: A is discarded.

  • Also,

          Median of Boys= 26

          and Median for Girls = 21

This means that Median for the number of texts sent by boys is more than those by girls.

Hence, option: D is discarded.

  • Also we know that an outlier affect the mean and median of the data.

Hence, option: C is discarded.

  • We know that median of the data is the central tendency of the data and best compare the set of data.

          Hence, Option: B) is the correct answer.

What is the solution to the inequality below?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

B. x < -8 or x > 8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use process of elimination to solve this problem by going through every solution and testing them out, but let's jump right to B.

Process:

You know that since the inequality states that x^2 has to be greater than 64, x  has to be more than 8, or less than -8.

This is because 8^2 = 64, and -8^2 = 64, and the inequality requires the answer to be more than 64.

Looking at B., you can see that if x is < -8, the square of, for example, -9, would be 81. This is greater than 64, so this works!

Now, B. also has an alternative. The 'or' is a major clue to which is the correct answer, since the square root of any number can be positive or negative. (-8^2 = 8^2)

The 'or' states that x must be greater than 8. So, for example, if we take the square of 10, we get 100, and that is also greater than 64.

We've proven that this solution is accurate for both parts, so it is definitely the one we want!

Hope this helps!

X+y=7;x+2y=11<br>Solve by substitution <br>steps must.​
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 7    ------------(I)

     y = 7 - x  ------------(II)

x + 2y = 11 --------------(III)

Substitute y = 7 - x in equation (III)

x + 2 * (7 -x) = 11

x + 2*7 - 2*x = 11

x + 14 - 2x = 11

x - 2x + 14 = 11

- x + 14 = 11

Subtract 14 from both side

-x = 11 - 14

-x = -3

Multiply both sides by (-1)

x = 3

Substitute x=3 in equation (II)

y = 7 - 3

y = 4
