Answer:

Median.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in​ 2004, the mean net worth of families in a certain region was ​$470.2 thousand and the median net worth was ​$92.3 thousand.

We know that mean and median of a symmetric data set is equal.

We also know that when mean of a data set is greater than median, then the data set has a very large valued outlier.

Since mean net wroth of families is approximately 5 times more than median net wroth of families, this means that some of the families has very high net worth as outliers.

Since the net worth of families has very large outliers, therefore, I would prefer median as the appropriate measure of center as median is not affected by outliers.

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP! I need to know the 3 equations to solve for the different types of points. ​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

f = 0

x > 2y

x ≤ 8

S ≥ 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'f' represent the number of free throws.

Let 'x' represent the number of 2 - point baskets.

Let 'y' represent the number of 3 - point baskets.

Let S represent the Season high.

1) Ryan says he did not shoot any free throws.

⇒ f = 0

2) 2 - point baskets more than twice the number of 3 - point baskets.

⇒ x > 2y

3) Number of two points is less than or equal to 8.

⇒ x ≤ 8.

4) Last Season high, he had scored 18 points. Note that the problem says, Ryan equaled or bettered than last season high. That means he should got at least 18 points this season. So, the equation would be:

S ≥ 18

Does the function f(x) = 2x^2− 6x + 9 have a minimum or a maximum? Identify its value.
exis [7]

Answer:

minimum value of function is   \frac{45}{8} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function represents a parabola.

Now, here coefficient of x^{2} is positive , so the parabola will be facing upwards and thus the function will be having a minimum.

Now, as we know that minimum value of a parabolic function occurs at

x = \frac{-b}{4a} .

Where , b represents the coefficient of x and a represents the coefficient of x^{2} .

here, a = 2 , b = -6

Thus \frac{-b}{4a} = \frac{6}{8}

                                            =  \frac{3}{4}

So, at x =  \frac{3}{4}  minimum value will occur and which equals

y = 2×\frac{9}{16} - \frac{18}{4} + 9 =  \frac{45}{8} .

Thus , minimum value of function is   \frac{45}{8} .
