HELP A.S.A.P!!!! The data to represent average test scores for a class of 16 students includes an outlier value of 78. If the ou

tlier is included, then the mean is 84. Which statement is always true about the new data when the outlier is removed?
The mean would decrease.
The mean would increase.
The median would decrease.
The median would increase.

When the outlier is removed The mean would increase.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Outliers are the value that lies outside the set of data. i.e. the data doesn't fit in the group.

Removing outliers can affect mean more than median. Because outlier removal sometimes affect the median but in a small percentage or sometimes it will remain the same.

Let us prove, consider 16 values one with 78 and other 15 with values nearly 85, 84 that will give the mean value as 84.

78, 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85.

Mean =\frac{Sum of the values}{Number of values}.

Mean =\frac{78+84+82+86+84+85+83+86+82+85+84+83+86+85+86+85}{16}.

Mean =\frac{1344}{16}.

Mean = 84.

Remove 78 from the data set then the data set is 84, 82, 86, 84, 85, 83, 86, 82, 85, 84, 83, 86, 85, 86, 85 and number of data is reduced to 15.

Mean =\frac{84+82+86+84+85+83+86+82+85+84+83+86+85+86+85}{15}.

Mean =\frac{1266}{15}.

Mean = 84.4.

The mean is increased.

Parabola passes through the points (0,5), (1,4), and (2,5). What function does the graph represent?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

x^2 - 2x + 5 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (0, 5) is the point where the parabola passes through the y axis (where x = 0), so we can write the equation as

y = ax^2 + bx + 5   where a and b are constants to be found.

Also, since (1, 4) and (2, 5) are points on the curve, substituting, we have the system:

a(1)^2 + 1b + 5 = 4

a(2)^2 + 2b + 5 = 5

Simplify these 2 equations:

a  + b  =  -1  .................(1)

4a + 2b = 0..................(2)

Multiply the first equation by -2:

-2a - 2b = 2 .................(3)

Add (2) + (3):

2a = 2

a = 1.

Substitute a = 1 into (2):-

4*1 + 2b = 0

2b = -4

b = -2.

how many 1/3 inch cubes does it take to fill a box with width 2 2/3 inches length 3 1/3 inches and height 2 1/3 inches
Alona [7]

Answer:

560/9 or around 63 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/3 -> 8/3

3 1/3 -> 10/3

2 1/3-> 7/3

7/3 x 8/3= 56/9

56/9 x 10/3 = 560/27

560/27 divided by 1/3

= 560/9

The transformation of 'f' is represented by 'g'. Write a rule for g. f(x)=\root(3)(x). Then show your check steps.
podryga [215]

Answer:

g(x)=-2\sqrt[3]x

or

g(x) = -2f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = \sqrt[3]x

Required

Write a rule for g(x)

See attachment for grid

From the attachment, we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,2)

(x_2,y_2) = (1,-2)

We can represent g(x) as:

g(x) = n * f(x)

So, we have:

g(x) = n * \sqrt[3]x

For:

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,2)

2 = n * \sqrt[3]{-1}

This gives:

2 = n * -1

Solve for n

n = \frac{2}{-1}

n = -2

To confirm this value of n, we make use of:

(x_2,y_2) = (1,-2)

So, we have:

-2 = n * \sqrt[3]1

This gives:

-2 = n * 1

Solve for n

n = \frac{-2}{1}

n = -2

Hence:

g(x) = n * \sqrt[3]x

g(x)=-2\sqrt[3]x

or:

g(x) = -2f(x)
