If a data set contains 10,000 values arranged in increasing order, where is the median located?

1 answer:

4 0

We have been given that a data set contains 10,000 values arranged in increasing order and we are asked to find where the median of this data will occur.

We know that the median of a data set with even number of entries is found by considering the average of the middle two values.

However, the median of a data set with odd number of entries can be found by considering the middle term of the sequence.

Since the number of entries in our data are 10,000, which happens to be an even number, therefore, we can find the median by computing the average of middle two values.

The middle two values of the data set with 10,000 entries are 5000th and 5001st numbers. Thus, the median of the data set will be average of 5000th and 5001st entries. Hope this helps!

How many 1 5 s are in 9?

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how many 1/5 s are in 9, we will take the ratio of both numbers as shown;

9:1/5

= 9 ÷ 1/5

= 9 * 5/1

= 9 * 5

= 45

Hence there are 45 1/5s in 9

If g(x) is the inverse of f(x), what is the value of f(g(2))?

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So to figure this out we just need to flip the values of x and y in the table and then redefine that as the function g(x), because an inverse is essentially the reverse!

So if we flipped x and y's for f(x). We would see that our output or y of g(x) is -3 when x = 2, or in other words g(2) = -3. This means that we are now going to solve for when f(-3). So now lets look at the table and find the value at x = -3 for f(x). This value is 2, so the value of f(g(2)) = 2.

*In the future*

When you have a composite function of two inverses they essentially cancel out and would leave whatever the value of x is. So if we know f(x) and g(x) were inverses the value of f(g(2)) would just be 2.

For example:

ln(x) and e^x are inverses so if I had a composition like this:

$e^{ln(2)}$
