The median...(hope it helps)

You would need to give us the data set to answer this question. I'm assuming this is a stats question which means I'd need to see what set of data you are working with to determine if the mean or median is best to describe the center. The meadian is resistant to outlying values while the mean is not. Therefore the meadian is a better describer for skewed distributions. Whenever you have outliers the dataset is skewed. Take a look at the shape of the data. Does it look skewed? You can make a simple graph with the data points to determine if there are outliars if you aren't able to tell just from looking at the data. (Again I don't know what data you are working with, but I hope this helped)

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (5, -3) and a directrix of y=1. Write the equation of the parabola in any form.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between any point on a parabola from both its focus and directrix are the same.

Let's say we have a point (x,y) on the parabola. We can then say that using the distance formula,

\sqrt{(x-5)^2+(y-(-3))^2}is the distance between (x,y) and the focus. Similarly, the distance between (x,y) and the directrix is |y-1| (I use absolute value here because distance is always positive). We can find this equation by taking the shortest distance from the point to the line. Because the closest point to the line will be the same x value as the point itself, the distance is simply the distance between the y value of the point and the y value of the directrix.

Equating the two equations given, we have

\sqrt{(x-5)^2+(y-(-3))^2} = |y-1|

square both sides to get

(x-5)²+(y+3)²=(y-1)²

expand the y components

(x-5)² + y²+6y+9 = y²-2y+1

subtract y²+6y+9 from both sides

(x-5)² = -8y - 8

expand the x components

x²-10x+25 = -8y - 8

add 8 to both sides to isolate the -8y

x²-10x+33 = -8y

divide both sides by -8 to isolate y

(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y

Simplify the expression below. 2^3 x 2^2
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

32 or~2^5

Step-by-step explanation:

→ (2^3)(2^2)

=2^3*2^2

=(2*2*2)*(2*2)

=2*2*2*2*2

=32

<u><em>You can also put this in another way:</em></u>

<em />2^5=2^3*2^2=2^3^+^2=2^5<em />

Pls help asap!!!!!!!!
wel

Answer:

It is possible, because the two shortest sides have to add up to be more than the longest side, and 8 + 12 = 20, which is more than the longest side of 17.

So yes, I agree with Bear.

If anyone can please help me
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

5 orange + 5 mango = 10

P( mango ) = mango /total = 5/10 = 1/2

Replace

5 orange + 5 mango = 10

P(orange ) = orange /total = 5/10 = 1/2

P(mange, replace, orange) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
