Determine which measure of center best represents the best data. Explain.

Monica [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I always like to use the mean if I can. In this data set, it's probably not a very good idea. Too much weight is given to that 7.2 and the two 3.2s.

I would choose the median, because the mode is the same answer and that's a good enough reason for choosing anything. 2 out 3 isn't bad as they say in Baseball.

2x = 4y + 8, x - 2y = 4

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: x = 8, y = 2, coordinates (8,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = 4y + 8 (divide by 2 to get value of x)

x = 2y + 4

(now substitute x into the second equation to find value of y)

2y + 4 - 2y = 4

2y - 2y = 4 - 4 (divide by 2 to get value of y)

y - y = 2 - 2
