Outliers can cause the _________ to be misleading when summarizing a data set.

1 answer:

gladu [14]3 years ago

Hello!

An outlier can cause the mean to be misleading. If you have an outlier when finding the median or IQR, it will not throw off the data by much. But adding a very large or small number to the mean, and dividing it by an extra number, it will throw the number off by a large amount.

I hope this helps!

How many pages should the manufacturer advertise for each cartridge if it wants to be correct 99% of the time

PolarNik [594]

The manufacturer should advertise 13811 pages for each cartridge if it wants to be correct 99% of the time

z-score is the number of standard deviations from the mean value of the reference population

99%=0.99

The z-value associate with 0.99 is 2.33:

2.33 = (X - 12425) / 595:

X - 12425 = 2.33 * 595

X = (2.33 * 595) + 12425

X = 138111

Therefore, The manufacturer should advertise 13811 pages for each cartridge if it wants to be correct 99% of the time

The time to fly between New York City and Chicago is uniformly distributed with a minimum of 120 minutes and a maximum of 150 mi

rewona [7]

Answer:

a. 8.66 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the flight times are uniformly distributed, the standard deviation can be calculated as follows:

$\sigma = \frac{b-a}{\sqrt{12}}$

Where '<em>b' </em>is the maximum flight time (150 minutes) and '<em>a' </em>is the minimum flight time (120 minutes):

$\sigma = \frac{150-120}{\sqrt{12}}\\\sigma = 8.66\ minutes$

The distribution's standard deviation is 8.66 minutes.

Cylinder A has a radius of 10 inches and a height of 5 inches. Cylinder B has a volume of 750π. What is the percentage change in

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

50% change in volume

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes.</h2>

In this problem we are to find the volume of the first cylinder and compare with the second cylinder.

Given data

Volume v = ?

Diameter d= ?

Radius r = $10 in$

Height h= $5 in$

we know that the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

$volume = \pi r^{2}h$

Substituting our given data we have

$volume = \pi*10^{2}*5\\ volume= \pi *100*5\\volume= 500\pi in^{3} \\$

The first cylinder as a volume of $500\pi$

The change in volume is $750\pi - 500\pi = 250\pi$

percentage = $\frac{250\pi }{500\pi } *100$

$percentage=$ $0.5*100= 50$ %
