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.

x = ?

160 - 29 = 131

SO x = 131

Check:-
 
160 - 131 = 29

SO,

29 = 160 - 131.

A triangle has the vertices A(-7, 8), B(1, -7), and C(7,6). After a dilation, the vertices of the image are A(-28, 32).
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: the answer is A.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation in this context is the transformation is an object into a larger one.

ABC is transformed to A'B'C'

To get the scale factor, we divide the coordinates of A'B'C' by ABC

i.e

A'/A = -28/-7, 32/8 = 4

Or

B'/B = 4/1, -28/-7 = 4

Or

C'/C = 28/7, 24/6 = 4

One of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 144. fine the number of sides of the polygon ​
lora16 [44]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

In any polygon

exterior angle + interior angle = 180° , thus

exterior angle + 144 = 180 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

exterior angle = 36°

The sum of the exterior angles = 360°

Thus number of sides n is calculated as

n = 360 ÷ 36 = 10

I NEED HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!
Luden [163]

Answer:

The volume of cylinder is calculated by:

V = base area x height = pi x radius^2 x height

=>  3617.28 = 3.14 x 12^2 x height

=> 3617.28 = 452.16 x height

=> height = 3617.28/452.16 = 8 (cm)

Hope this helps!
