Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An anatomy model of an adult human is 7 inches tall.

Height of anatomy model = 7 inch

Most adult humans are between 5 feet and 6 feet tall.

Average height of human = 5.5 feet = 5.5 x 12 = 66 inches

\texttt{Scale factor=}\frac{\texttt{Height of anatomy model}}{\texttt{Average height of human}}=\frac{7}{66}\\\\\texttt{Scale factor}\approx \frac{7}{70}=\frac{1}{10}

Option B is the correct answer.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 inches in 1 feet, so

5 feet = 5 * 12 = 60 inch

6 feet = 6 * 12 = 72 inch

So, we can say most adult humans are between 60 to 72 inches tall

The model is 7 inches tall. So, from the answer choices, 7 * 10 = 70 [the number that is in between 60 to 72]. Thus we can take the model to be 1/10th of the original.

So the scale factor is 1/10, or option B

In your own words, describe to someone who knows only a little statistics how to recognize when an observation is an outlier. Wh
erik [133]

Answer:

B)

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, an outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations.

This can happen because of different reasons: it may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate an actual experimental error. If it is an actual experimental error then it  can create problems when doing the statistical analysis.

A) We can say that this is true, the outliers are observed values far from the other data, however we can make a much deeper analysis of this.

B) This is the right answer, since we don't know what is really causing the outlier, we need to take a closer look to see if they are just mistakes (and therefore be removed). If they are not mistakes we need to do the analysis with and without them to reach correct conclusions.

C) this is wrong because although the part of the histogram is true. It is not true that they should be ignored.

d) The outliers differ significantly from the other data but this doesn't make them the minimum and maximum values in a data set and therefore they should not be treated as such.

Therefore, the correct answer is B)
