Answer:

Last one:

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1: 7.5

Q2: 8

Q3: 23

Q2 - Q1 = 8 - 7.5 = 0.5

Q3 - Q2 = 23 - 8 = 15

Since Q3 - Q2 > Q2 - Q1,

data is positively (right) skewed

Skeweness occurs because of outliers therefore mean is not a suitable option. Median will provide a better description of the centre

Answer:

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

If the longer part of the box is to the right (or above) the median, the data is said to be skewed right. If the longer part is to the left (or below) the median, the data is skewed left.  The data is skewed right.  The median would be a better estimate, because one or two numbers on the high end will cause the  numbers to be skewed to the right, and the mean to be high

posledela

Answer:

8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract $150 from $430 to get $280, the amount if money that Manuel has to earn to reach his goal.

If he is adding $35 to his account each month, then all you have to do is divide the amount you need by the amount you are earning each month to get the number of months until you reach your goal.

$280 divided by $35 is 8, so it would take 8 months for Manuel to reach his goal.

Solve the inequality |* +31 &lt; |2x + 1.<br> |x+3|&lt;|2x+1|
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps to follow when solving absolute value inequalities:

Isolate the absolute value expression on the left side of the inequality.

If the number on the other side of the inequality sign is negative, your equation either has no solution or all real numbers as solutions.

If your problem has a greater than sign (your problem now says that an absolute value is greater than a number), then set up an "or" compound inequality that looks like this:

(quantity inside absolute value) < -(number on other side)

OR

(quantity inside absolute value) > (number on other side)

The same setup is used for a ³ sign.

If your absolute value is less than a number, then set up a three-part compound inequality that looks like this:

-(number on other side) < (quantity inside absolute value) < (number on other side)

The same setup is used for a £ sign
