What is an Outlier? ( In math ) The best answer Is the Brainliest!

It's the number that doesn't' "fit in". For example, if there is a classroom full of 12-13 year olds and there is one 37 year old (teacher) the 37 would be the outlier because it is the one that is different out of all of them. Another example would be if you had a set of numbers, 4,5,4,3,5,2,4,6,4,5,3,20,3,5, number 20 would be outlier because it "lies outside" that the values given. Does that help?

Ginny is studying a population of frogs. She determines that the population is decreasing at an average rate of 3% per year. Whe
svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is exponential, of the form

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial amount and b is the growth/decay rate. If Ginny begins the study with 1200 frogs in the population, our a value is 1200.

If the population is decreasing 3% per year, it is decreasing 100% - 3% = 97% which, as a decimal, is .97. Our exponential function, then, is

y=1200(.97)^x

Suppose you are driving 60 miles per hour. what is your rate of speed in miles per minute?
Verdich [7]

So if it is 60 miles per hour it is basically 60 miles per 60 minutes. \frac{60}{60} when you simplify it, it is going to be 1/1=1 The answer is 1 mile per minute

Sally is having a problem with her puppy leaving the yard so she decides to build a new fence. The length of the yard is 10 feet
Cerrena [4.2K]

The length of the yard is 25ft.

In order to find this we first need to set up variables for the length and the width. Since we don't know anything about the width, we'll set it as x. Then, we know the length is equal to ten more than three times the width. Since the width is x, we can write the length as 3x + 10. Now we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to solve for x.

2l + 2w = P

2(3x + 10) + 2(x) = 60

6x + 20 + 2x = 60

8x + 20 = 60

8x = 40

x = 5

Now that we have a value for x, we can plug into the length equation and find the length.

3x + 10

3(5) + 10

15 + 10

How can knowing how to represent proportional relationships in different ways be useful to solving problems
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

  appropriately writing the proportion can reduce or eliminate steps required to solve it

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion ...

  \dfrac{A}{B}=\dfrac{C}{D}

is equivalent to the equation obtained by "cross-multiplying:"

  AD = BC

This equation can be written as proportions in 3 other ways:

  \dfrac{B}{A}=\dfrac{D}{C}\qquad\dfrac{A}{C}=\dfrac{B}{D}\qquad\dfrac{C}{A}=\dfrac{D}{B}

  Effectively, the proportion can be written upside-down and sideways, as long as the corresponding parts are kept in the same order.

I find this most useful to ...

  a) put the unknown quantity in the numerator

  b) give that unknown quantity a denominator of 1, if possible.

__

The usual method recommended for solving proportions is to form the cross-product, as above, then divide by the coefficient of the variable. If the variable is already in the numerator, you can simply multiply the proportion by its denominator.

<u>Example</u>:

  x/4 = 3/2

Usual method:

  2x = 4·3

  x = 12/2 = 6

Multiplying by the denominator:

  x = 4(3/2) = 12/2 = 6 . . . . . . saves the "cross product" step

__

<u>Example 2</u>:

  x/4 = 1/2 . . . . we note that "1" is "sideways" from x, so we can rewrite the proportion as ...

  x/1 = 4/2 . . . . . . written with 1 in the denominator

  x = 2 . . . . simplify

Of course, this is the same answer you would get by multiplying by the denominator, 4.

The point here is that if you have a choice when you write the initial proportion, you can make the choice to write it with x in the numerator and 1 in the denominator.
