In linear models there is a constant additve rate of change. For example, in the equation y = mx + b, m is the constanta additivie rate of change.
In exponential models there is a constant multiplicative rate of change.
The function of the graph seems of the exponential type, so we can expect a constant multiplicative exponential rate.
We can test that using several pair of points.
The multiplicative rate of change is calcualted in this way:
[f(a) / f(b) ] / (a - b)
Use the points given in the graph: (2, 12.5) , (1, 5) , (0, 2) , (-1, 0.8)
[12.5 / 5] / (2 - 1) = 2.5
[5 / 2] / (1 - 0) = 2.5
[2 / 0.8] / (0 - (-1) ) = 2.5
Then, do doubt, the answer is 2.5
Find the mean for both:
Sierra: 2 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 15 = 53
53/5 =10.6
Median is the middle value = 12
Alek: 9 + 11 + 11 + 12 + 13 = 56
56/5 = 11.2
Median = 11
A: The medians do not equal the mean.
B: Sierra's are more spread out, ( no identical ages and a greater range ).
C: Sierra's mean is less than Alek.
D. Sierra has an outlier (2).
The answer would be B
They show the decomposition of a multiplication expression into smaller parts
Answer:
I think it's B
