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.

Answer:

1: C(n) = 2.50 + 16n

2: $66.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Each ticket costs $16 per person. If tickets for n persons were purchased, the total cost would be 16n.

There is also a one-time service fee of $2.50 that must be paid. Thus, for n tickets the total cost is

C(n) = 2.50 + 16n

Part 2

For n = 4, the expression evaluates to

C(4) = 2.50 + 16 (4) = $66.50

If cos x=8/17, and 270° &lt; x &lt; 360°<br> what is cos(2x)?
svp [43]

Answer:  \bold{-\dfrac{161}{289}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: cos x = \dfrac{8}{17}, x is in Quadrant 4

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find sin x:

8² + y² = 17²    

      y² = 17² - 8²

      y² = 289 - 64

      y² = 225

      y = 15

→    sin x = -\dfrac{15}{17}

Use the double angle formula to find cos (2x):

cos (2x) = cos^2 x - sin^2 x\\\\.\qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{8}{17}\bigg)^2-\bigg(-\dfrac{15}{17}\bigg)^2\\\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{64}{289}-\dfrac{225}{289}\\\\\\.\qquad=-\dfrac{161}{289}
