Answer:

In this data set, the number 8 is an outlier.

An outlier is a value that is far away from the rest of the numbers (either a lot smaller or a lot greater).

Because there is an outlier, the measure of center that best represents the data would be the median (the middle value).

The mean will not be accurate because the outlier will make it smaller than what is actually being represented in all of the numbers but one.

Hope this helps!!!!

A farmer has 220 bushels of wheat to sell it has roadside stand he sells an average of 14 and three-quarter bushels each day rep

REY [17]

Answer:

Total change in Sales of Bushels =116 $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Bushels of Wheat= 220

Average Sale= $14*\frac{3}{4}$ per day

Average Sale per week = $7*14.75 =103.25$

Total change in Sales of Bushels = Total Bushels of Wheat - Average Sales per week

Total change in Sales of Bushels= $220- 103.25 = 116*\frac{3}{4}$

Find the characteristic polynomial of A. Use x for the variable in your polynomial.You do not need to factor your polynomial. A

Vesna [10]

Answer: The required characteristic polynomial of the given matrix A is $x^3+6x+11x+6=0.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the characteristic polynomial of the following 3 × 3 matrix A with unknown variable x :

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&1\\4&-3&4\\-2&0&-3\end{array}\right].$

We know that

for any square matrix M, the characteristic polynomial is given by

$|M-xI|=0,$ where I is an identity matrix of same order as M.

Therefore, the characteristic polynomial of matrix A is

$|A-xI|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left|\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&1\\4&-3&4\\-2&0&-3\end{array}\right]-x\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]\right|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left|\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-x&0&1\\4&-3-x&4\\-2&0&-3-x\end{array}\right] \right|=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow -x(3+x)^2+1(0-6-2x)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x+3)(-3x-x^2-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x+3)(x^2+3x+2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^3+6x+11x+6=0.$

Thus, the required characteristic polynomial of the given matrix A is $x^3+6x+11x+6=0.$
