When a data set has an outlier which measure of center best describes the distribution?

1 answer:

7 0

A measure of central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position within that set of data. As such, measures of central tendency are sometimes called measures of central location. They are also classed as summary statistics. The mean (often called the average) is most likely the measure of central tendency that you are most familiar with, but there are others, such as the median and the mode.

V=1/3Πr^2(2r+h)

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

h= $\frac{−2.094395r3+v}{1.047198r2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

v=( $\frac{1}{3}$ (3.141593))(r2)(2r+h)

Step 1: Flip the equation.

1.047198hr2+2.094395r3=v

Step 2: Add -2.094395r^3 to both sides.

1.047198hr2=−2.094395r3+v

Step 3: Divide both sides by 1.047198r^2.

h= $\frac{−2.094395r3+v}{1.047198r2}$

Which functions have an axis of symmetry of x = –2? Check all that apply.

ELEN [110]

Answer : $Answer :f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 3 \ and \ f(x) = -2x^2 - 8x + 1$

Given: axis of symmetry of x = –2

To find axis of symmetry we use formula $x =\frac{-b}{2a}$

We check which equation has axis of symmetry x= -2

(1) $f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 3$

a=1 , b=4 so axis of symmetry $x =\frac{-4}{2*1} = -2$

(2) $f(x) = x^2 - 4x - 5$

a=1 , b=-4 so axis of symmetry $x =\frac{-(-4)}{2*1} = 2$

(3) $f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 2$

a=1 , b=6 so axis of symmetry $x =\frac{-6}{2*1} = -3$

(4) $f(x) = -2x^2 - 8x + 1$

a=-2 , b=-8 so axis of symmetry $x =\frac{-(-8)}{2*(-2)} = -2$

(5) $f(x) = -2x^2 + 8x - 2$

a=-2 , b=8 so axis of symmetry $x =\frac{-(8)}{2*(-2)} = 2$

So $f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 3$ and $f(x) = -2x^2 - 8x + 1$ has axis of symmetry x=-2

$\bf 9^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{4}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{8}{3}}\implies (3^2)^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{4}{3}+\frac{8}{3}}\implies 3^{\frac{2}{3}}\cdot 3^{\frac{1}{3}}\cdot x^{\frac{12}{3}} \\\\\\ 3^{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}}x^4\implies 3^{\frac{3}{3}}x^4\implies 3x^4$
