How do you choose between mean and median as the best measure for the center of a distribution

Mathematics

The mean is often the default measure of center because it includes every data point, ie its more representative. However, if you have outliers then the mean will be skewed toward the outlier. For example, with home prices, very expensive houses will make the mean larger than it should be if you focused on the main cluster of data. This is why the median home price is often measured and reported (rather than the mean home price).

How do you find the volume of spheres?
garik1379 [7]
So if u were to use a calculator, which you probably might need, you would take the radius, square it by 3, multiply by 4 and then divide by 3.

Please help! *Math (10 pts)*

It's linear

If you evaluate x when it's 0 you'll get the cut in y, that means the function will pass on (0,7)

The formula for linear functions is y=mx +b

In this case b is 7

M=7-5/0+1

M=2

Now you just write the function down, it would be

F(x) =2x + 7

Bryan made up a game. Each team starts with seven points. Each time a team answers a question correctly, they earn five points.
Margaret [11]
The given equation is:
t = 7 + 5q
where:
t is the total number of points
q is the questions answered correctly

We are given that the total of correct answers is 6 and we want to find the total number of points. Therefore, all we have to do is substitute with the number of answers in the given equation to get the total points as follows:
t = 7 + 5q
t = 7 + 5(6)
t = 7 + 30
t = 37 points
