1.The measure of center that is most appropriate for this situation is the MEDIAN. This is because, one of the number given is an outlier, that is, it is much greater than the rest of the given numbers. If the mean of the number given is calculated, it will be discovered that the mean value obtained is higher than most of the scores in the data set, thus,the mean is not a suitable measure of central tendency in this case.
2. To find the median of the given numbers, arrange them in a descending order and add the two numbers in the middle then divide the value by 2.
That is, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 14.
The two numbers in the middle is 1 and 2.
Median = [1 + 2] / 2 = 3/2 = 1.5
Therefore, the median is 1.5

The line passes through (9,8) and is perpendicular to x-2y=-16

pickupchik [31]

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x-2y=-16\\Adding\ 2y\ on\ both\ sides\\x=2y-16\\Adding\ 16\ on\ both\ sides\\x+16=2y-16+16\\x+16=2y\\2y=x+16\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x+16}{2}\\y=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{16}{2}\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+8\\$

The equation is in slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x will be the slope of given line. The slope is: 1/2

As the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

$\frac{1}{2}*m=-1\\m=-1*\frac{2}{1}\\m=-2$

Slope intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Putting the value of slope

y=-2x+b

To find the value of b, putting (9,8) in the equation

$8=-2(9)+b\\8=-18+b\\b=8+18\\b=26$

Putting the values of b and m

$y=-2x+26$

Hence,

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

In a group of eighteen people, each person shakes hands once with each other person in the group. How many handshakes will occur

miv72 [106K]

The number of handshakes that will occur in a group of eighteen people if each person shakes hands once with each other person in the group is 153 handshakes

In order to determine the number of handshakes that will occur among 18 people, that is, the number of ways we can choose 2 persons from 18 people.

∴ The number of handshakes = $^{18}C_{2}$
