Why are quartiles generally more reliable for judging outliers than mean and standard deviation?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Quartiles are generally more reliable for judging outliers than mean and standard deviations for 2 reasons. The mean is simply the average of all of the numbers, meaning that an outlier can easily be obscured by the masses. Standard deviation is a better method, however only going over by one standard deviation in either direction would also mask an outlier. A strong outlier however will pull a quartile farther in that direction than would normally be expected.</span>

A vertical pole 5 feet long casts a shadow of 2 feet.if at the same time a nearby tree casts a shadow of 10 feet, how tall is th

ohaa [14]

We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as

h1/s1 = h2/s2

where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree

Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.
