=======================================

Explanations:

  1. A bell shaped curve is symmetric, meaning one half is a mirror copy of the other half. The mean, median and mode are both at the same value: at the center (which is where the peak is located).
  2. A bimodal curve is one where it has two peaks. This is because it has 2 modes. Both peaks are the same height. If one height was taller, then you'd only have 1 mode. The mean wouldn't be as useful because we'd lose information about the two different modes. The mean would be somewhere in between the two peaks, where not much data points reside.
  3. A skewed distribution is one where the tail is pulled from the main group/cluster. This pulls on the mean to be distorted from the center. If the tail is pulled to the right (right-skewed or positively skewed) then the mean is larger than it should be. If the tail is pulled to the left (left-skewed or negatively skewed) then the mean is smaller than it should be. It's better to use the median in this case. Example: home prices where large mansions are large outliers to make the mean larger than it should be, so the median home price is used instead.
  4. As discussed in part 1 above, the mean is useful here. A bell shaped curve is one type of symmetric curve, but there are infinitely many other kinds of symmetric curves possible. All that matters is that one side is reflected over the vertical center line to get the other half.
  5. A uniform distribution is symmetric. If the left and right endpoints are p and q, then the mean (p+q)/2 is the center and it is useful.

If i walk 4 miles per hour how long will it take to walk a mile
fiasKO [112]
Hi there! The answer is 15 minutes.

Walking 4 miles per hour means that it takes you 60 minutes to walk 4 miles. To find the time it takes you to walk 1 mile, we must divide both sides by 4.

4 miles equals 60 minutes.
1 mile equals 60 / 4 = 15 minutes.

The answer is 15 minutes.

The low temperature last week in Iceland was-2.25. The low temperature this week was 1.25. What was the change in temperature fr
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The change in temperature from last week to this week=3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the change in temperature from last week to this week, we need to take last week's temperature and subtract it from this week's temperature.

For example;

Change in temperature=This week's temperature-last week's temperature

where;

This week's temperature=-2.25

last week's temperature=1.25

replacing;

Change in temperature=(1.25)-(-2.25)=1.25+2.25=3.5

The change in temperature from last week to this week=3.5

ivanzaharov [21]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A farmer sells 9.9 kg of pears and apples at the farmers market. 3/4 of this weight is pears,and the rest is apples.how many kilograms of apples did she sell at the farmers market.

Answer: The farmer sells 2.475 kg of apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total weight of pears and apples = 9.9 Kg

\frac{3}{4} of the total weight is pears

Hence, weight of pears = \frac{3}{4}\times 9.9=7.425 Kg

Therefore weight of apples = Total weight - weight of pears = (9.9 -7.425) = 2.475 Kg
