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.

Step-by-step explanation:

as x is direct to y hence

x∝y

also given x∝z combine these two equation we get

x∝y*z

x=b*y*z

as given x=20, y=3 , z=4 putt in above equation we get

A bank loaned out $33,500, part of it at the rate of 12% annual interest, and the rest at 14% annual interest. The total interes
algol13

Answer:

  • $17,500 at 14%
  • $16,000 at 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount loaned at 14%. Then the total interest earned is ...

  0.14x +0.12(33,500 -x) = 4,370

  0.02x = 350 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4020 and simplify

  x = 17500 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.02

The amount loaned at 12% is $33,500 -17,500 = $16,000.

  $17,500 was loaned at 14%

  $16,000 was loaned at 12%
