If I understand what you are asking, you can use the median as an average since it is not affected by the mean ( median is a measure of center).  Since a mean is affected by outliers, it might lower the score if there are very low outliers. But note that if there are outliers way <em>greater </em>it can increase the average. You can use the Inter Quartile Range if shown on a box plot ( measure of variability).

Lucas and his brother, Max, went to the arcade yesterday. Lucas played 2 games of Rodeo Racing and 8 games of Polar Pinball. Max
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Max

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucas played 2 Rodeo Racing:8 Polar pinball = 1:4 (Divide by 2)

Max played 3 Rodeo Racing:9 Polar pinball = 1:3 (Divide by 3)

1:3 is greater than 1:4 so this proves that Max has played the greater ration of Rodeo Racing to Polar Pinball.

1. which data set represents an increasing, linear function? (1 point)
GenaCL600 [577]
#1) A
#2) B
#3) C
#5) A
#7) D
#10) D
#11) D
#14) A
#15) D
#16) A
#19) D

Explanation
#1)  If the data set is linear, the slope will be constant throughout the entire data set.  For data set A, the slope between the first two points is:
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (1--2)/(3-1) = 3/2
Between the second two points,
m=(4-1)/(5-3) = 3/2
Between the third pairs of points,
m=(7-4)/(7-5) = 3/2

The slope is constant throughout the entire set.  The set is also increasing; as x increases, y increases as well.

#2)  Substituting 4 for y and 1 for x, 
y = (x+1)²
4 = (1+1)² = 2²
9 = (1+2)² = 3²
16 = (1+3)² = 4²
This works for each point, so this is the solution.

#3) Since he runs 10 laps per hour t, this is 10t.  Adding the first lap to this, we get y=10t+1.

#5) If a sequence is arithmetic, each term is found by adding a constant (called the common difference) to the previous term.  If the common difference is 2, this means that 2 was added each time.  This only works for choice A.

#7) For x to vary directly as y, this means that y/x = k; in other words, the quotient of y and x is constant for every point.

#10) The formula for slope is:
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Using the information we're given, we have
3=(d-5)/(4-2)
3=(d-5)/2

Multiply both sides by 2:
3*2 = ((d-5)/2)*2
6 = d-5

Add 5 to both sides:
6+5 = d-5+5
11 = d

#11) Using point slope form,
y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)
y-1 = 3(x--2)
y-1 = 3(x+2)

Using the distributive property,
y-1 = 3*x + 3*2
y-1 = 3x + 6

Add 1 to both sides:
y-1+1 = 3x+6+1
y=3x+7

#14) If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.  The slope of the given equation is 4; the only one with a slope of 4 is A.

#15) If two lines are perpendicular, they have slopes that are negative reciprocals (opposite signs and flipped).  The slope of the given equation is 2; this means the slope of the perpendicular line would be -1/2.  The only one with this slope is D.

#16)  The two equations are not the same, so there are not infinitely many solutions.  The variables do not both cancel, so there is at least one solution.  This only leaves one solution as the answer.

#19)  Using 1 for 7 and 4 for x, we check each equation.  The only one that comes out correct is D.
