When we say a statistic is resistant, we mean the extreme values do not affect the statistic to a large extent or to an extent which makes a major difference. Mean and median are example of such statistics. By changing the extreme values we do not see a substantial difference in the value of mean and median for the data set.
Consider a sample: 1,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8
The median for this data set is 4.
If we change the extreme values to get this sample: -5,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,100
The median will still be the same i.e. 4. This is what is meant by a resistant statistic.
So option a is the correct ans.
Answer:
2) Yes it is

One is just cutting the same peices into smaller ones. This does not change the result!
Answer:
(- 1, - 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x - 3y = 5 → (1)
5x - 2y = - 1 → (2)
Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by adding 3y to both sides
x = 5 + 3y → (3)
Substitute x = 5 + 3y in (2)
5(5 + 3y) - 2y = - 1 ← distribute left side
25 + 15y - 2y = - 1
25 + 13y = - 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
13y = - 26 ( divide both sides by 13 )
y = - 2
Substitute y = - 2 in (3) for corresponding value of x
x = 5 + (3 × - 2) = 5 - 6 = - 1
Solution is (- 1, - 2 )
Answer:
2/13 or 15.38%
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of Aces in a deck = 4
Number of 7s in a deck = 4
Number of cards in a deck = 52
Probability of A or 7 = (4 Aces + 4 Sevens) / 52 cards 8 cards / 52 cards
This simplifies to 2/13 or 15.38%
