Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify:
45 = 5 * 3 * 3
60 = 5 * 3 * 2 * 2
GCF = 5*3 = 15
Answer: 9. x=-3/2 10. x=2
x= 5/2 x=5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
9. Factor the equation:
How: put 4x^2 in the bottom left box and -15 in the upper right box.
then multiply 4x^2 x -15 = -60x^2 and put your answer in the top center box of the diamond.
Put the -4x from the equation in the bottom box. Then list out factors that multiply to the top box (-60x^2) and add to the bottom box (-4x) The two factors are -10 and 6
-10 x 6 = -60
-10 + 6 = -4
Put -12x and -5x in the remaining white boxes and find what numbers multiply to each.
I attached a picture. The colored dots correspond with each other.
Eg: Orange dot x orange dot = number in white square
Now you get the two factors (2x+3)(2x-5)
Set both of these equal to 0 and solve
0=2x+3 0=2x-5
x= -3/2 x= 5/2
Do the same for the other problem
Answer: Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74
Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.
The least appropriate = mean
Yes there is an outlier.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.
First arrange them in increasing order,
Its sum = 35
Mean of n observations = (Sum of observations) ÷ n
Mean = (35) ÷ 10
=3.5
Here n =10 (even)
Median = average of middle most numbers =
Mode = most repeated number = 2 (thrice)
geometric mean =
10 is an outlier as it is very large as compare to other numbers.
When outlier is present in data , the median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.
Mean affected badly by the outlier so it the least appropriate.
