different from each other and may be very different
from the mean of the single set of values.

If you take 2 groups of equal cardinality, it could happen that, for example, many of the higher values go to the first group and therefore, many of the low values go to the second group, making their respective means quite different and different from the original sample mean. This could even go worse due to the possible existence of outliers, that is, values that are far different than the sample mean. An outlier tend to disrup the mean of a sample, but for smaller samples the result is much dramatic.

For example, let X be {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,100}

The elements of X sum 145, hence the mean of X is 14,5. Let divide X in two groups

Y = {1,2,3,5,9}

Z = {4,6,7,8,100}

The elements of Y sum 20, so its mean is 4

The elements of Z sum 125, so its mean is 25

Both means are quite different from each other and quite different from the mean of X. Note that if we take the mean of the means the result is 4+25/2 = 14,5 which is equal to the mean of X.

REALLY NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!
stich3 [128]

Answer: OPTION C

Step-by-step explanation:

There are some transformations for a function f(x). Some of them are shown below:

1. If f(x)+k, the function is shifted up "k" units.

2. If f(x)-k, the function is shifted down "k" units.

3. If f(x+k), the function is shifted left "k" units.

4. If f(x-k), the function is shifted right "k" units.

In this case you know that the function "g" is the transformation of the function "f".

Observe that the function "f" intersects the y-axis at:

y=2

And the function "g" intersects the y-axis at:

y=-2

Therefore, since both functions are 4 units apart, you can conclude that the function "f" was shifted down 4 units to get the function "g".

Then, the rule that shows that transformation is:

g(x)=f(x)-4
