Hello!

Sometimes when there are outliers in a data set, for example 1, 20,25,26,30, one is the outlier and when you find the mean it will not represent the data in the most accurate way. This is when you use the median to represent the part of the data set that has the information that is close together.

I hope this helps!

Graph the line that passes through the two points. Then find the slope of the line. (2,9), (4, 18)
viva [34]

The slope of the line is 4.5

<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>

The points are given as:

(2,9) and (4, 18)

The slope (m) is calculated using:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

This gives

m = (18 - 9)/(4 -2)

Evaluate

m = 4.5

Hence, the slope of the line is 4.5

Aaron is designing a party game in which he needs exactly 24 possible outcomes. Which sets of actions can he use to have a stati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Counting from the top:

fist option

fourth option

fifth option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any set that has a multiplicative outcome, such that the total number of outcomes is 24.

Remember that if we have a combination of two events, one with N outcomes and the other with M outcomes, the total number of outcomes is:

M*N

This is the main thing we need to see.

Let's analyze each option:

1) flip a coin (2 outcomes)

  flip a coin again (2 outcomes)

  roll a 6 sided dice ( 6 outcomes)

total number of outcomes:

2*2*6 = 24

2) Selecting a number from 1 to 16 (16 outcomes) and rolling a dice of 8 sides (8 outcomes).

The total number of outcomes is:

8*16 = 128

We wanted only 24.

3) Selecting a number from the set {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} (5 outcomes)

   flip a coin (2 outcomes)

   flip the coin again (2 outcomes)

total number of outcomes:

2*2*5 = 20

We wanted 24, we can discard this.

4) Spin the thing (3 outcomes)

   roll an 8-sided dice (8 outcomes)

Total number of outcomes:

8*3 = 24

This is a correct option.

5) Select a card from A to D (4 outcomes)

Roll the thing (6 outcomes)

total number of outcomes:

6*4 = 24

This is a correct option.

6) Select a card from A to N {14 options}

   Roll the thing once (10 outcomes)

Total number of outcomes:

14*10 = 140

We wanted 24, so we can discard this option.

Then the correct options are:

first one, fourth one, and fifth one.
