<span>Because a mean is an average, the means of each of the samples of 40 college presidents' incomes will have less of a skew than the actual income distribution in dollars of all of them. That is because outliers, like a president who is paid $2 million a year, will be averaged in with many others who are paid less. The shape of the curve of the means will depend upon how many different samples of 40 presidents are included, with the shape becoming more bell-like (normal distribution) the more random samples are included. Another consideration is how often the outliers are included and how big the income skew is that you start with. For example, if 2 college presidents are earning $2 million a year and the other 4,198 are earning $200,000 or less then the shape of your curve will depend greatly upon the number of times those two high earners are randomly selected and factored into the mean.</span>
Answer:
-14 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-8+-6= -14
-8+6 = -2
5:8 and 20:32 would be a proportion.
Easy way to find this:
Set up the proportion as a fraction.
Use the cross product property. Multiply the diagonals and if the products of the diagonals are the same, then they are proportional.
