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)

What curve passes through the point (1 ,2) and has an arc length on the interval [2,6] given by Integral from 2 to 6 StartRo

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of curve

$L=\int_{2}^{6}\sqrt{1+64x^{-6}}dx$

Length of curve is given by

$L=\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+\left ( \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}\right )^2}dx$ over interval a to b

comparing two we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=8x^{-3}$

$dy=8x^{-3}dx$

integrating

$\int dy=\int 8x^{-3}dx$

$y=-4x^{-2}+C$

Curve Passes through (1,2)

$1=-4+C$

$C=5$

curve is

$y+\frac{4}{x^2}=5$

Which sequence of transformations will produce similar but not congruent figures?

RoseWind [281]

A dilation would produce a similar figure. Therefore, the sequence of transformations that will produce a similar but not congruent figures would be the first and the third option. Figure TUVWX is dilated by a scale factor of 6 and then rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin; and figure TUVWX is reflected across the x-axis and dilated by a scale factor of 7. Hope this answers your question.

What is the slope of the line represents by 5x-12y=24 -2 24/5 -12 5/12 How do you get the answer? Please epxlain

mrs_skeptik [129]

5x - 12y = 24 - it's a standard form of equation of a line

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept.

Convert the standard form to the slope-intercept form:

$5x - 12y = 24$ subtract 5x from both sides
