W many solutions does this linear system have?y = 2x – 5 –8x – 4y = –20

1 answer:

5 0

Using substitution

-8x-4(2x-5)=-20
-8x-8x+20=-20
-16x+20=-20
-16x=-40
x=2.5

Plug x into one of the original equations.
y=2(2.5)-5
y=5-5
y=0

Final answer: 1 solution (2.5, 0)

Answer:

Mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Data: 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4$

Required

Best measure of center

The mean is considered the best measure of center when there are no outliers in the given data.

Outlier is when a particular data set is far away from other datasets.

For instance: 20 is an outlier in the following data sets: $4, 4, 2, 20, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4$

Also, the given data are not open-ended.

An open-ended data is as follows: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5\ or\ more$

Since we do not have any of the above conditions, then the mean is the best center to use.
