Answer:

No, the Roger’s claim is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Roger claims that the two statistics most likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set are the mean and the median.

This statement by Roger is incorrect because the median is unaffected by the outlier value and only the mean value gets affected by the outlier value.

As the median represents the middlemost value of our dataset, so any value which is an outlier will be either at the start or at the end will not the median value. So, the median will not likely change when an outlier is added to a small data set.

Now, the mean is the average of all the data set values, that is the sum of all the observations divided by the number of observations. The mean will get affected by the outlier value because it take into account each and every value of the data set.

Hence, the mean will likely to change greatly when an outlier is added to a small data set.

There are 1500 bees in a colony. Each month, the number of bees decreases by 12%. There are 800 flowering plants in a garden. Ea
dusya [7]
 So the answer to this question is:

A= bees: f(t) = 1500 × (0.88)∧t

 plants: g(t) = 800 - 25×t

B: (Bees) 1500 × (0.88)∧6= 696.60
After 6 months (696 bees ):
800 - 25×6 = 650 (Flowering Plants)
After 6 months:

650 flowering plants

C: 1500 × (0.88)∧t=800 - 25×t
t = 6.779965672

Answer is it will take 7 months or 6 for the bees and the plants.
Hope this helps!
