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. '

What is the sum of the geometric series 2^0 + 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^4 + … + 2^9?
mars1129 [50]
The nth term is
an=a1(r)^(n-1)
an=1(2)^(n-1)
a1=1
r=2

the sum of a geometric seequence is
S_{n}=\frac{a_{1}(1-r^{n})}{1-r}
a1=1
r=2
we want to find S_{10} (since we minus 1, the highest exponet is 9 so add 1 to make it correct)

S_{10}=\frac{1(1-2^{10})}{1-2}
S_{10}=\frac{(1-1024}{-1}
S_{10}=\frac{(-1023}{-1}
S_{10}=1023

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

<u>$33.25</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking Eric's hours as a ratio to the total hours :

  • 3.5 : 3.5 + 2
  • 3.5 : 5.5
  • 3.5 x 2 = : 5.5 x 2
  • 7 : 11

Multiply the ratio into the amount paid :

  • 52.25 x 7/11
  • 4.75 x 7
  • <u>$33.25</u>

<u></u>

Eric's share of the money is <u>$33.25</u>
