Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The median (m) is a measure of central tendency. To obtain the median, we assemble the data in arising order. If the data is odd, the median is the mid-value. If the data is even, the median is the arithmetic-mean of the two mid-values.

The mean of a data set is:

\bar X=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits^{n}_{x=0}{X}

For the three kittens it is provided that the weights are in the range 147 g to 159 g.

So, the mean and median weight for the 3 kittens lies in the middle of this range.

Now a fourth kitten is born, with weight 57 g.

Now the range of the weight of 4 kittens is, 57 g to 159 g.

The mean is going to decrease as one more value is added to the data and the value is the least.

The median will also decrease because now the median will be mean of the 2nd and 3rd values.

But the mean would decrease more than the median because a smaller value is added to the data.

Thus, the correct option is (B).

X - y= -4 -2x +3y =6
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em><u>x=-6, y=-2</u></em>, (As a point) (-6, -2).....The point form is not necessary unless you want to solve the system (of equations) by graphing.

Step-by-step explanation:

By substitution:

x-y=-4    By adding y on both sides,

x=y-4

Now you can substitute x for the expression (y-4)

Plug the (y-4) as x in the other equation.

So -2x+3y=6 becomes

-2(y-4)+3y=6

Now solve:

-2(y-4)+3y=6 distributes out to be

-2y+8+3y=6     Now combining like terms

y+8=6              Subtract 8 on both sides to isolate the variable

<u><em>y=-2</em></u>

Now plug the value -2 in where the y is in any equation (preferably the easier/less complicated one) and solve for x.

So x-y=-4 becomes

x-(-2)=-4

=x+2=-4

=<u><em>x=-6</em></u>

The relationship between a distance in yards (y) and the same distance in miles (m) is described by the equation y=1760m. Is the
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

y ∝ m and 1760 is a constant of proportionality.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between a distance in the yards (y) and the same distance in miles (m) is described by the equation y = 1760m.

So, the graph of the above equation passes through the origin(0,0) and it will be a straight line with a constant slope of 1760.

Therefore, a measurement in yards and a measurement in miles are in the relation of proportionality for the same distance.

Hence, y ∝ m and 1760 is a constant of proportionality. (Answer)

Twelve different video games showing drugs were observed. The duration times of drugs were​ recorded, with the times​ (seconds)
Studentka2010 [4]

The answers to the questions are:

1. The confidence level is 99 percent.

2. We have to conclude that there is no sufficient evidence available to support this claim because the Confidence interval contains 75 sec.

<h3>How to solve for the confidence level</h3>

1. The confidence level here should be

1- 0.01 = 0.99

= 99 percent

Given that, 99% confidence interval for population mean (μ) is (-34.1 sec u< u < 264.1 ) seconds.

We are to test  the claim that the population mean is greater than 75 sec.

2.

The given confidence interval contains the value of 75 sec, so there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean is greater than 75 sec.
