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.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The length of the missing side b would be 16m

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would use the formula a2+b2=c2

12^2+b2=20^2

-take 12*12 and 20*20

144+b2=400

-subtract 144 from 400 in order to get b2 alone

b2=256

-take the square root of b and 256

b=16

PLEASE HELPPPPPP. I NEED IT DONEEEEE. ​

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

1. Couples tickets: $8

   Individual tickets: $4

2. Song download cost: $2

    Movie download cost: $15

<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>

You can solve both of these questions by doing system of equations.

Let's start with question 1.

There are 2 variables in this equation:

- Couples tickets price: let's represent these with the letter C

- Individual tickets price: let's represent these with the letter K

Writing the two equations would look this these:

5c + 2k = 48

3c + 2k = 32

Next, isolate a variable. I am going to isolate K in the first equation.

2k = -5c + 48 \\k = -\frac{5}{2}c + 24

Now that we isolated a variable we can plug that back in to the second equation:

3c + 2(-\frac{5}{2}c + 24) = 32\\3c - \frac{10}{2}c + 48 = 32\\3c -5c + 48 = 32\\-2c + 48 = 32\\-2c = -16\\c = 8

We found that c is equal to 8 so we can put that back in to an equation to solve for k.

5(8) + 2k = 48

40 + 2k = 48

2k = 8

k = 4

Therefore, the price for couples tickets is $8 and the price for individual tickets is $4.

<u><em>Check #1:</em></u>

5(8) + 2(4) = 48

40 + 8 = 48

48 = 48

3(8) + 2(4) = 32

24 + 8 = 32

32 + 32

Now, let's go on to question 2.

There are 2 variables in this equation:

- Price of songs downloaded: let's represent these with S

- Price of movies downloaded: let's represent these with M

Writing the two equations would look like this:

15s + 11m = 195

15s + 8m = 150

There is a simple way to answer this system, however.

If you change the bottom equations signs to negative you can minus the second equation from the first equation like this:

15s + 11m = 195

-(15s +8m = 150)

Minus them to get this equation:

3m = 45

Solve

m = 15

We have found that each movie download costs $15, now let's plug this back into an equation:

15s + 11(15) = 195

15s + 165 = 195

15s = 30

s = 2

Each song costs $2 to download.

<em><u>Check #2:</u></em>

15(2) + 11(15) = 195

30 + 165 = 195

195 = 195

15(2) + 8(15) = 150

30 + 120 = 150

150 = 150

<em>I hope this helps!!</em>
