The term for a point that varies greatly from all other data points is known as an <u>OUTLIER</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

  • An outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations. An outlier may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate experimental error.
  • An outlier can cause serious problems in statistical analyses.
  • An outlier is an observation that lies an abnormal distance from other values in a random sample from a population. In a sense, this definition leaves it up to the analyst to decide what will be considered abnormal.
  • A point that falls outside the data set's inner fences is classified as a minor outlier, while one that falls outside the outer fences is classified as a major outlier.
  • The data here appear to come from a linear model with a given slope and variation except for the outlier which appears to have been generated from some other model.
  • Outliers can occur by chance in any distribution, but they often indicate either measurement error or that the population has a heavy-tailed distribution.

Solve the system of linear equations. separate the x- and y- values with a coma. -8x=72-16y
serious [3.7K]
Let's use the "elimination by addition/subtraction" method to solve this system for x and y.

<span> -8x=72-16y             
4x=-92+16y        <= Mult. all 3 terms by 2:          8x = - 184 + 32y

Now combine the following, column by column:

</span><span> -8x=       72-16y
</span>8x = - 184 + 32y
-----------------------
   0 = -112 + 16y.  Solving for y, 16y = 112, and y = 7.

Now subst. 7 for y in either of the original equations and calculate x:

<span>4x=-92+16(7)   =>   4x = -92 + 112  =  20.  Then x = 5.

Solution is 5, -7   (or, better written) (5, - 7).</span>

the total cost of a belt and a jacket was $82.78 if the price of the belt was $0.86 less than the jacket what was the price of t
Aloiza [94]
B=bellt price
j=jacket price

b+j=82.78

belt is 0.86 less than jacket
b=j-0.86
add 0.86 to both sides
b+0.86=j
sub
b+b+0.86=82.78
2b+0.86=82.78
minus 0.86 from both sides
2b=81.92
divid both sides by 2
b=40.96


belt=$40.96
