When we say a statistic is resistant, we mean the extreme values do not affect the statistic to a large extent or to an extent which makes a major difference. Mean and median are example of such statistics. By changing the extreme values we do not see a substantial difference in the value of mean and median for the data set.

Consider a sample: 1,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8
The median for this data set is 4.
If we change the extreme values to get this sample: -5,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,100
The median will still be the same i.e. 4. This is what is meant by a resistant statistic.

So option a is the correct ans.

Draw a line having a slope of 1/3 and y-intercept of -1

Lilit [14]

Equation for slope=1/3 and y-intercept=-1 is:
y = mx + b
where m is slope and b is y-intercept.
So, equation becomes
y = -1x + 1/3
Now put different values of x in the equation to get corresponding value of y.
x     y
0    1/3
1 -2/3
2 -5/3
3 -8/3
-1    4/3
-2    7/3
-3    10/3

Why do some quadratic graphs move left or right and others do not? Is there a correlation between this and them moving up and do

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(x + 3)^2 is left 3 because it becames 0 at -3

(x - 3)^2 is right 3 because it becames 0 at 3

x^2 +3 is up 3 because your just adding 3 units up

x^2 - 3 is down 3 because your just subtracting 3 units down
