Answer:

The mean remains the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

15 and 35 are our outliers, so if you add everything you get 150, and divide it by 6 to get the mean, you get 25. now remove the outliers. you add 23, 24, 26, 27 to get 100. divide that and you get 25. thus the mean remains the same.

<span>In statistics, an outlier is an observation point that is distant from other observations.

Given the points
15, 23, 24, 26, 27 and 35

Notice, that the points 15 and 35 are distance from the other points and hence are outliers.

The mean of the observations including the outliers is given by
$\frac{15+23+24+26+27+35}{6} = \frac{150}{6} =25$

The mean of the observations without the outliers is given by
$\frac{23+24+26+27}{4} = \frac{100}{4} =25$

Therefore, </span>when <span>the outliers are removed, the mean remains the same.</span>

Explain the difference between qualitative and quantitative data. Choose the correct answer below. A. Quantitative data are coll

Leona [35]

The correct answer is F. Quantitative data are numerical in nature, while qualitative data are categorical in nature.

Explanation:

In research and all the different fields that apply to it, the word "data" refers to information, values or knowledge that can be used to understand a specific situation or phenomenon. Additionally, data can be of two different types quantitative and qualitative, these differ in their nature, the phenomenons they described and the way they should be analyzed. Indeed quantitative data refers mainly to numerical data or information about quantities such as statistics that are especially useful in mathematics, science and similar that focus on numbers. On the other hand, qualitative data refers to data based on categories or qualities and because of this qualitative data is used in humanistic research, although both types of data can be combined to study a phenomenon. Considering this, the key difference between both types of data is "Quantitative data are numerical in nature, while qualitative data are categorical in nature".

In the limit

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} f(x)$

we're interested in the value that $f(x)$ converges to as $x$ gets closer to $c$ . So in fact $x\neq c$ .

In the given example, $f(x)$ is factorized to reveal a common factor of $x-1$ in the numerator and denominator. We have $x\neq1$ if $x\to1$ , so $x-1\neq0$ so we can simplify
