Choose the best reason for using the median as the measure of central tendency.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alchen [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The median is usually preferred in these situations because the value of the mean can be distorted by the outliers. However, it will depend on how influential the outliers are. If they do not significantly distort the mean, using the mean as the measure of central tendency will usually be preferred.

The question states that both parts of Noshi's desk were shaped like trapezoids and both had a height of 3.

We know that the formula for area of a trapezoid is (a+b)/2 * h, where a and b are bases of the trapezoid and h is the height. Note: This is like any other form of trying to find the area, because we are doing base times height, however, we need to divide the sum of the bases by 2 to find the average base length.

Let's call the first trapezoid on the left Trapezoid A and the second slanted trapezoid Trapezoid B.

Area of Trapezoid A = (a+b)/2 * h = (5+8)/2 * 3 = 13/2 * 3 = 6.5 * 3 = 19.5 feet
Area of Trapezoid B = (a+b)/2 * h = (4+9)/2 * 3 = 13/2 * 3 = 6.5 * 3 = 19.5 feet

To find the area of Noshi's total desk, we simply need to add the areas of Trapezoid A and Trapezoid B together.

19.5 feet + 19.5 feet = 39 feet

Therefore, the area of Noshi's desk is 39 feet.

Hope this helps! :)

Write the equation of a line, in Point slope form that passes through (5,6) and has a slope of -3​
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

y = -3x + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(5,6)

y = mx + b

6 = -3 × 5 + b

solving for b

b = 6 - (-3)(5)

b = 21

Therefore,

y = -3x + 21

Answer:

  5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime factorizations are ...

  10 = 2·5

  12 = 2·2·3

Then *10* = 5 and *12* = 3, so *10*/*12* = 5/3.
