With data, you can have outliers. Outliers are values that do not follow what the range or majority of the data you collected so a value of 45, 42, 45, 48, 42, 44, 88, the mean will obviously be different because the 88 is going to change the whole data. But, if you put it from least to greatest, you can see what the majority of data is, (what the middle value is) to see what is in the middle range of what you have collect- the outliers don't affect what you have. Hence, 42, 42, 44, 45, 45, 88 (it's not much data) but it can show what the majority of data is. Hope this helps :> :)

Answer:

When there is an outlier in the data set, the dot plot or histogram will be skewed. In a skewed representation, the mean is pulled up or down toward the tail of the data. Therefore, skewed data affects the mean more than the median.

In 4 hours if you count the miles by the road linking the 2 buses. This is because 55 for one bus and 45 for the other bus added together equals 100 miles/hour. Therefore, 4 hours will be the time the 2 buses are 400 miles apart.

Let f(x) = 3x +5 and g(x) = -4x +7. Find (fog)(-4)
sesenic [268]
(fog)(x)=f(g(x))

f(g(x))=3(-4x+7)+5
f(g(-4))=3(-4(4)+7)+5=3(-16+7)+5=3(-9)+5=-27+5=-22


(fog)(-4)=-22

A community sports league is raising money by making custom shirts to sell at league games. They plan to sell the shirts for $13
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

B. (13-6) n - 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of shirts to be sold is n

The cost to purchase one shirt is $13

The cost of making each shirt is $6

Let's assume the shirt is one

Profit for a Shirt = (13-6)

But then there are no number of shirts

Profit= (13-6)n

But then also, an advert was run for the total shirts combined

Profit= (13-6)n -55
