When would you want to use the median over the mean for describing the measure of center for a data set?

1 answer:

8 0

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!

2(x -9) = 9 divided ( - 1/3) what value of x makes the equation true <br> plsss help :)))

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x = -9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide 9 by -1/3:

$\frac{9}{1}$ ÷ $-\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{9}{1}$ · $-\frac{3}{1}$

= -27

2. Divide both sides by 2:

2(x - 9) = -27

$\frac{2(x-9)}{2} = \frac{-27}{2}$

(x - 9) = $-\frac{27}{2}$

3. Add 9 to both sides:

x = $-\frac{9}{2}$

(or 4.5 if you need it in decimal form)

hope this helps!
