If the outlier is removed, which measure will not change

Some measures I believe you are talking about are mean, median, mode, and range.

Mean is the average of all values. This is found by adding up all numbers and dividing by the amount of numbers. Outliers greatly affect and "throw off" the mean, making it inaccurate at calculating the average without an outlier.
Example:
1, 2, 4, 6, 10
(1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 10)/5 = mean = 4.6
1, 2, 4, 6
(1 + 2 + 4 + 6)/4 = mean = 3.25
Because of this, mean does change when adding and removing outliers, and is therefor not the answer.

Median is the middle of the data. This is found by ordering the values in the data set from least to greatest (or greatest to least, either one works) and finding the number in the center of all the values. If there were an outlier, the median wouldn't be skewed as the mean is by outliers, but it would change.
Example:
1, 2, 4, 6, 10     Median = 4
1, 2, 4, 6           Median = 3
So median is not the answer, because it is affected by adding and removing outliers.

Mode is the value in a data set that appears the most. Outliers are numbers that are significantly lower or higher than most or all of the other numbers in a data set. Because of this, there can't be more outliers than other numbers, so it is impossible for the mode to be an outlier.
Example:
1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 86     Mode = 1
1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4           Mode = 1
This means the mode is not affected by adding and removing outliers.

Mode is a possible answer, but let's take a look at range before coming to a conclusion.

Range is the spread of values in a data set. In other words, the difference between the highest and lowest value. A high range can signal a possible outlier is present.
Example:
1, 2, 4, 6, 10
10 - 1 = highest value - lowest value = range = 9
1, 2, 4, 6
6 - 1 = highest value - lowest value = range = 5
The range is certainly affected by outliers, so it is not the answer.

Out of mean, median, mode, and range, the answer to this question is mode.
If an outlier is removed, mode will not change.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

21mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for solving the area of a rhombus is : \frac{1}{2}xy, where x and y are two intersecting diagonals.

In this case, we are given both values, thankfully. 6 and 7 are to be replaced with x & y. Now, the rest you have to do is simple math.

(6 * 7) / 2 = 21

The area of the rhombus is 21mm.

Please help me with math, it’s easy!! explanation needed!

Answer:

  0

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in "vertex form," meaning that you can identify the vertex and other features of the graph from the equation.

  y = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . the vertex is (h, k); the vertical scale factor is "a"

Comparing to your equation, you see ...

  a = -1/2, h = 3, k = -1

The vertex is (h, k) = (3, -1). The vertical scale factor is negative.

__

This tells you the graph opens downward (the scale factor is negative), and the vertex (maximum point) is below the x-axis. (It has a negative y-coordinate.)

Because it start below the x-axis and goes down from there, the graph does not intersect the x-axis. There are zero (0) x-intercepts.
