Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center?

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

Prove that the figure is a parallelogram. If so, classify the parallelogram. Be specific and justify your answer.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.

Using the diagram  we see from the coordinates of A and B:

Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)

= 6/4

= 3/2.

In the same way

slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)

= 3/2.

So AB and  CD can be shown to be parallel.

Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.

So the figure is a parallelogram

Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):

Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC

By Pythagoras:

AB =   sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52

BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13

So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13

= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13

= 6sqrt13

or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.

Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.

What equation represents a line that when if graphed, passes through the points (0, -1) and
Keith_Richards [23]
Y= 2x-1
Explanation: First, you find slope. If the first point it x-axis point is 0 and the second x-axis point is 1 then you already know the answer is over 1, so you have to figure out how many up you are going on the y-axis from -1 to 1. Which is 2, so your slope is 2/1 or just 2. Next, you find your y-intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis, and the easy way to find this is finding what y is equal to when x is equal to 0, in the problem you are told (0, -1) as a point, so they gave you your y-intercept right there, which is -1. Finally you right the equation in slip intercept form (y= mx+b) which is y= 2x-1
