Answer:

The y-intercept is at y = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

It will be between y = 14 and y = 7 because the corresponding x values are -2 and 1.

An increase of 3 units of x gives a decrease of 6 units of y fro the above values.

Then an increase of 1 ( 1 to 2) in x gives decrease in y of 2 (8 to 6). The other values show the same pattern.

So very unit increase in x, the y values change by -2.

So from x = -2 to 0 is +2 units for x and this will be -4 units for y so the y-intercept ( when x = 0) will be at y = 14-4 = 10

y-intercept is (0,10).

Answer: Choice A) mean, there are no outliers

Have a look at the image attached below. I made two dotplots for the data points. The blue points represent bakery A. The red points represent bakery B. For any bakery, the points are fairly close together. There is no point that is off on its own. So there are no outliers, making the mean a good choice for the center. If there were outliers, then the median is a better choice. The mean is greatly affected by outliers, while the median is not.
