Answer: b. Median

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common measures of central tendency are :

a. Mode - It is used in nominal data.

b. Median - It is used as central tendency when data is skewed or having outliers in the data.

c. Mean - It is the best measure of central tendency when data does not have outliers because it affect mean badly.

Given, Prices of item have a skewed distribution with outliers in the left tail.

That means , the  best measure of central tendency to summarize this data set is median.

So, the correct option is b.

Sam and Liam raced each other up and then down the hill. Sam's average speed up the hill was 1 mph, and his average speed down t
Radda [10]

So, we know that it takes Sam 1 mph up and 9 mph down and it takes Liam both 2 mph down and up the hill. So if we divide the 2 mph for Liam by 2 miles (the whole length of the hill)  we will get 1 or 1 hour. Then we do 1/1 (i don't know how to explain this part of why we do that, sorry) and than we do 1 / 9 and we get 1/9 so we add them and get 1 1/9 so that's Sam's time.

      So, Liam took one hour and Sam took 1 and 1/9 hours, in conclusion liam was faster

Triangle FGH is translated using the rule (x,y) &gt; (x+3,y-1). What are the coordinates of H ?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: H'(4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you must remember that the original figure (before a transformation) is called "Pre-Image" and the one obtained after the transformation is called "Image".

 A Translation is defined as a transformation in which the figure is moved a  fixed distance in a fixed direction. In this kind of transformatiosn the size and shape do not change and the figure is not flipped.

In this case you know that the Pre-Image is the Triangle FGH.

You can identify in the picture that its vertex H has these coordinates:

H(1,-2)

Where:

x=1\\y=-2

Since the rule is:

(x,y) → (x+3,y-1)

You can substitute the coordinates of H into the given rule in order to find the coordinates of H'. This is:

H'=(1+3,-2-1)=(4,-3)
