Determine which measure of center best represents the best data. Explain.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I always like to use the mean if I can. In this data set, it's probably not a very good idea. Too much weight is given to that 7.2 and the two 3.2s.

I would choose the median, because the mode is the same answer and that's a good enough reason for choosing anything. 2 out 3 isn't bad as they say in Baseball.

The perimeter of a triangle is 7 m. The longest side is twice the length of the shortest side. The sum of the
34kurt

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shortest side be x, then the longest side = 2x.

Also  x + y = 2x  + 1   where y = length of the middle side,

Simplifying:

2x - x - y = -1

x - y = -1        (A)

Also as the perimeter = 7:

x + 2x + y = 7

3x + y = 7       (B)

Adding (A) and (B):

4x + 0 = 6

x = 6/4 = 1.5

Plug x = 1.5 into equation B:

3(1.5) + y = 7

y = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5.

Answer:

So the shortest side = 1.5, middle = 2.5 and longest = 2*1.5 = 3.

Give an example of a point that is the same distance from (3, 0) as it is from (7, 0). Find lots of examples. Describe the confi
Artist 52 [7]

Supposse that the distance from the point (x,y) to the point (3,0) is equal to the distance from  (x,y) to the point (7,0). Then, by the formula of the distnace we must have

\sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (y-0)^2}=\sqrt{(x-7)^2 + (y-0)^2}

cancel the square root and the (y-0)^2's, and then expand the parenthesis to obtain

x^2 - 6x + 9 = x^2 - 14x + 49

then, simplifying we obtain

8x = 40

therfore we must have

x=5

this means that the points satisfying the propertie must have first component equal to 5. So we can give a lot of examples of such points: (5,0), (5,7),(5,1/2), (5,-10),.... The set of this points give us a straight line and the points (3,0) and (7,0) are symmetric with respect to this line.

What is the slope of a line that runs parallel to y= x + 14
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

m=1

Step-by-step explanation:

y= x + 14

This equation is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope for the line is 1

Parallel lines have the same slope

m=1

What is the measure of an angle if it is 70 less than three times its own complement?
anzhelika [568]
Let the angle be x.

Hence, its complement is 90 - x.

x = 3* (90 - x) - 70 = 270 - 3x - 70 = 200 - 3x

4x = 200

x = 50

Thus, the angle is 50°.
