Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

Both mean and median stay the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We are given a data set as:

4, 6, 8, 10, 12

Clearly from the data set we could see that the median of the set is:

Median=8

( Since we know that the median of the set is the central tendency of a data and always exist in the middle of the data set)

Also, we have 5 data points hence, the mean is calculated as:

Mean=\dfrac{4+6+8+10+12}{5}\\\\\\Mean=\dfrac{40}{5}\\\\Mean=8

Hence, we have:

Mean=8

and Median=8

  • Now when we add another point 8 to the set we have the set in increasing order as:

4,6,8,8,10,12

Hence, now the median lies between 8 and 8.

Hence, we get Median=8

( Since, (8+8)/2=16/2=8)

Also, Mean is calculated as:

Mean=\dfrac{4+6+8+8+10+12}{6}\\\\Mean=\dfrac{48}{6}\\\\Mean=8

Hence, we have:

Mean=8

and Median=8

So, the statement that can be inferred form the addition of a new data point is:

D.

The mean and median will both stay the same.

4, 6, 8, 10, 12

Mean without 8:

Mean is adding all the numbers and dividing by how many numbers there are.

4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 = 40

40 / 5 = 8

So the mean is 8.

Mean with 8:

4, 6, 8, 8, 10, 12

4 + 6 + 8 + 8 + 10 + 12 = 48

48 / 6 = 8

So the mean is 8.

Median without 8:

4, 6, 8, 10, 12

Median is the middle number. In this case it's 8.

Median with 8:

4, 6, 8, 8, 10, 12

Median is the middle number, there are two 8's in the middle, so the median is 8.

Therefore the mean and the median both stay the same.

Identify a transformation of the function f(x) = x by observing the equation of the function g(x) = x − 90.
ycow [4]

The transformation of a function may involve any change. The transformation of the function is Right shift by 90 units.

<h3>How does the transformation of a function happen?</h3>

The transformation of a function may involve any change.

Usually, these can be shifted horizontally (by transforming inputs) or vertically (by transforming output), stretched (multiplying outputs or inputs) etc.

If the original function is y = f(x), assuming the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, then:

Horizontal shift (also called phase shift):

Left shift by c units:

y=f(x+c) (same output, but c units earlier)

Right shift by c units:

y=f(x-c)(same output, but c units late)

Vertical shift:

Up by d units: y = f(x) + d

Down by d units: y = f(x) - d

Stretching:

Vertical stretch by a factor k: y = k \times f(x)

Horizontal stretch by a factor k: y = f\left(\dfrac{x}{k}\right)

Since the function is transformed from f(x)=x to g(x)=x-90, therefore, the transformation of the function is Right shift by 90 units.

Which of the following theorems cannot be used to prove two lines are<br> parallel?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Option H

Step-by-step explanation:

Option F

If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

True.

Option G

If two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

True

Option H

If two line are cut by a transversal so that a pair of vertical angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

Since, vertical angles don't prove the lines cut by a transversal are parallel.

So the statement is False.

Option J

If two lines are are cut by a transversal so that a pair of same side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.

True.
