Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x, and we have equation:</u>
- 16x + 2 = -7x - 21
- 16x + 7x = - 21 - 2
- 23x = - 23
- x = -1
The number is -1
Median and IQR are the most appropriate measures of center and spread for this data set.
<h3>Why are
Median and IQR the most appropriate?</h3>
Among the 3 central tendencies that includes the mean, median and mode; the median is the better measure because of the followings:
- Mean is affected by extreme values
- Mean is not correct if more outliers are present
- Mean may not represent the nature of the data whether skewed right or left.
Also, the median as the middle entry is not affected by extreme items or outliers, so the median is better than mean,
Furthermore, for the measure of spread, the IQR is better since extreme items will show higher std deviation and also some outliers mislead.
Therefore, Option B is correct.

Using the normal distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:
a. 0.4602 = 46.02%.
b. 0.281 = 28.1%.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>
The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean
and standard deviation
is given by:

- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
- By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation
.
The parameters are given as follows:

Item a:
The probability is <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 984</u>, hence:


Z = 0.1
Z = 0.1 has a p-value of 0.5398.
1 - 0.5398 = 0.4602.
Item b:

By the Central Limit Theorem:


Z = 0.58
Z = 0.58 has a p-value of 0.7190.
1 - 0.719 = 0.281.
