Personally, I never bothered learning the formula. 
When I run into a problem like this, I look at it this way: 
(I learned this method from my high school math teacher,
Mr. H. Carlisle Taylor, in 1956.  It not only works, but I can
even understand it !)

The first object can be any one of the 8 .  For each of those ...
The 2nd object can be any one of the other 7.  For each of those ...
The 3rd object can be any one of the other 6 .  For each of those ...
The 4th object can be any one of the other 5 .  For each of those ...
The 5th object can be any one of the other 4 .  For each of those ...
The 6th object can be any one of the other 3 .  For each of those ...
The 7th object can be any one of the other 2 .  For each of those ...
The 8th object has to be the 1 that's left.

Total number of possible ways to line them up is

                 (8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) =  40,320 ways .

What is the relationship between 5.34×1055.34×105 and 5.34×10−25.34×10−2 ? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete
Anton [14]
The relationship between 5.34×105 and 5.34×10−2 would be that the former number is 10000000 times larger than the latter value. We can obtain this by dividing 5.34×105 and 5.34×10−2 where the quotient would be 10000000. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

What are the scale factor of ABC dilated to XYZ plz help
jekas [21]
<h3>Answer:  B) 2/3</h3>

====================================

Explanation:

The order is important for ABC and XYZ so we can see what letters pair up.

  • A pairs with X since they are the first letters
  • B pairs with Y since they are the second letters
  • C pairs with Z since they are the third letters

Based on that, we can see that AB pairs with XY as they are the first two letters of ABC and XYZ respectively.

Divide the length XY over AB and reduce

XY/AB = 10/15 = 2/3

We could also divide XZ over AC

XZ/AC = 14/21 = 2/3

and we get the same ratio

Roger claims that the two statistics most likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set are the mean and
Leni [432]

Answer:

No, the Roger’s claim is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Roger claims that the two statistics most likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set are the mean and the median.

This statement by Roger is incorrect because the median is unaffected by the outlier value and only the mean value gets affected by the outlier value.

As the median represents the middlemost value of our dataset, so any value which is an outlier will be either at the start or at the end will not the median value. So, the median will not likely change when an outlier is added to a small data set.

Now, the mean is the average of all the data set values, that is the sum of all the observations divided by the number of observations. The mean will get affected by the outlier value because it take into account each and every value of the data set.

Hence, the mean will likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set.
