For the histogram on the right determine whether the mean is greater​ than, less​ than, or approximately equal to the median. Ju

stify your answer. 0 5 10 15 20 A histogram has a vertical axis labeled from 0 to 20 in increments of 5. Six adjacent vertical bars with equal width extend from the horizontal axis have heights, from left to right, as follows: 3, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 10. Which of the following is​ correct? A. x overbar equals Upper M because the histogram is symmetric. B. x overbar less than Upper M because the histogram is symmetric. C. x overbar greater than Upper M because the histogram is skewed left. D. x overbar less than Upper M because the histogram is skewed left. E. x overbar greater than Upper M because the histogram is skewed right. F. x overbar equals Upper M because the histogram is skewed right.

Answer:

Option D is correct.

x overbar less than Upper M because the histogram is skewed left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that x overbar represents the mean and upper M represents the median.

The median is the variable at the middle of the distribution of distribution when all the variables are arranged in ascending or descending order.

The total frequency for this distribution is 3+4+7+10+13+10 = 47

the median will be at the middle of this distribution; that is, at the 24th position.

The 24th position is on the 4th bar (the very end of the 4the bar).

The mean is the average of a distribution. It is the sum of variables in the distribution divided by the number of variables in the distribution.

For an histogram, the number in the middle of each bar is used to calculate the mean.

Let us assume that the width of each bar is 5 and the midpoint of the first bar is x, then the midpoint of the next bar will be x+5, the next bar will be x+10, etc.

Sum of the variables = (x)(3) + (x+5)(4) + (x+10)(7) + (x+15)(10) + (x+20)(13) + (x+25)(10) = 47x + 750

mean = (47x+750)/47

Mean = (x + 15.95)

This value indicates that the mean is on the 4th bar. But like we obtained, the median was at the end of the 4th bar, the mean is closer to the midpoint of the bar. (Recall that the midpoint of the bar is x+15).

This indicates that the mean is less than the median.

When the mean is less than the median, it means that less variables fall below the mean, more variables are found above the mean and it is a skewed left distribution.

Hope this Helps!!!

Miguel babysits for 3 hours and earns $15. Which represents the unit rate?
gogolik [260]

The unit rate is $/Hr.  Since the hours are the unit being considered.


To find the unit rate, divide both sides by three

(Let x = hourly rate)

3x = 15

x = 5

The number. Find the nume.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 8x+3x=12x+9

The number is -9.

Step-by-step explanation: Combine like terms.

11x=12x+9

Subtract 12x from the other side. 11x-12x= -1x

-1x+9

Divide by -1 to isolate x.

-1/-1 cancels out.

9/-1= -9

x=-9

Plug in -9 to check your answer if you want to double check.

Every year after a new car is
slavikrds [6]

Answer: The value of the car after 3 years is $5,333.333

And no, the relationship is not linear, is an exponential decay.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that every year, the car loses 1/3 of its value.

So if the initial value of the car is V.

After one year, the new value of the car will be:

Value (1 year) = V - (1/3)*V = (2/3)*V

After another year, the value will be:

Value (2 years) = (2/3)*V - (1/3)*(2/3)*V = V*(2/3)^2

Ok, we already can see that this is an exponential decay.

(So no, this is not a linear relationship).

The value equation as a function of the number of years will be:

Value(N) = V*(2/3)^N

Then if the initial cost of a car is $18,000, and we want to know its value after 3 years, we need to replace V by $18,000 and N by 3 in the above equation:

Value(3) = $18,000*(2/3)^3 = $5,333.333
