Answer: In data sets with outliers, either the mean or median can be used to make the data set appear more favorable to their agenda.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the "mean" is the "average" we used where we need to add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of elements where as the "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers.

The mean and median would not affected by outlying data points within data sets. Thus, the median is often used when a data set has outlying data points that could influence the mean and thereby misrepresent the middle of the data set.

The correct reason people sometimes use mean or median to misrepresent the “average” of a set of data is " In data sets with outliers, either the mean or median can be used to make the data set appear more favorable to their agenda. '

Cherry pies cost $12 each. Apple pies cost $9 each. You sold 20 pies and brought in $198. How many apple pies did you sell? How
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

You sold 6 cherry pies and 14 apple pies.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a system of equations problem.

12C + 9A = 198

A + C = 20

A = 20 - C

12C + 9(20 - C) = 198

12C + 180 - 9C = 198

3C + 180 = 198

3C = 18

C = 6

A + 6 = 20

A = 14

K · ( 0, 0 ) = ( 0 , 0 )
k · ( 0 , 4 ) = ( 0 , 10 )
k · ( 6, 0 ) = ( 15, 0 )
k = 15/6 = 10/4 = 2.5
The answer would be: 2.5
