<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.

An article reports that blue eyed people earn less than brown eyed people, with these numbers: average blue-eyed salary $35,000,
stepladder [879]

Answer:

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that blue eyed people earn less than brown eyed people.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we need to test whether the blue eyed people earn less than brown eyed people.

Let sample 1 denote the salary of blue eyed people and sample 2 denote the salary of brown eyed people.

The hypothesis to test the claim can be defined as follows:

<em>H₀</em>: The average salary of blue eyed people is not less than that for brown eyed people, i.e. <em>μ</em>₁ - <em>μ</em>₂ ≥ 0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The average salary of blue eyed people is less than that for brown eyed people, i.e. <em>μ</em>₁ - <em>μ</em>₂ < 0.

It is provided that the <em>p</em>-value of the test is, <em>p</em>-value = 0.45.

The decision rule is:

If the <em>p</em>-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.

The <em>p</em>-value of the test is 0.45.

The <em>p</em>-value of the test is very large for all the commonly used significance level. The null hypothesis will not be rejected.

Thus, it can be concluded that there is not enough evidence to support the claim that blue eyed people earn less than brown eyed people.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

57\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of students who were given Cardinal Credits last week for good behavior = 14

Number of students who were given Cardinal Credits this week for good behavior = 22

To find: percent increase in number of students who were given Cardinal Credits

Solution:

Increase in number of students = 22 - 14 = 8

Percent increase in number of students who were given Cardinal Credits = Increase in number of students / Number of students who were given Cardinal Credits last week for good behavior  × 100 =\frac{8}{14}\times 100=57.14\approx 57\%

Bobby describes two lines to Frank, telling him that beginning at point A, line #1 goes up 3 units and to the right 8 units, whi
rodikova [14]

When a line changes position from one point to another, the movement is referred to as transition.

<em>Bobby does not have enough information to make a valid conclusion.</em>

The movements of the lines are given as:

<em>Line 1: 3 units up and 8 units right</em>

<em>Line 2: 8 units down and 3 units right</em>

The given information only describes the movement of both lines, but does not give details about the initial relationship between the lines.

<em>Hence, no valid conclusion can be made with the given information.</em>
