What does measuring the spread of a data set tell us, and why is that significant?

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of spread is used in describing the variability in a sample.

Examples of measure of spread are: Mean, Median and Mode.

A measure of spread helps in giving an idea of how well the mean, or mode, or median, whichever of the three measure of spreads we use, represents the data under consideration. If the spread of values in the data set is large, that means there a lot of variation between the values of the data set. It is always better to have a small spread.

Answer:

Measuring the spread of a data set tells us how far are the values of data set to respect the mean. For example, large mean absolute deviation (MAD) value indicates that the values of data set are very different from the mean, i. e., they are very spread. Therefore, the mean is not representative of the data. On the other hand, in a small spread case, the mean is representative.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-8) and has a slope of 1/3​
Arturiano [62]

y + 8 = 1/3 (x+6)

With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, , to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the  , , and  in the formula to do so.

The  represents the slope, so substitute  in its place. The  and  represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for  and -8 for . This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:

1. There is no "h" in f(x) = log(x). The question is nonsense.

2. The log function is defined for arguments greater than zero. You're probably expected to select D, though A and B could also be correct.

3. Same deal. The log function is defined for x > -2, but the domain could be restricted to x > 2. You're expected to select FALSE.

4. Same deal. Choose B, though D is also correct.

5. C is the proper choice. (See discussion of the log function, above.)

Initially 100 milligrams of a radioactive substance was present. After 6 hours the mass had decreased by 2%. If the rate of deca
LenaWriter [7]

The amount of radioactive material remaining after 24 hours is 92.15 kg.

<h3>Exponential function</h3>

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the amount of the substance after t hours.

From the equation, a = 100 mg

Also, after 6 hours:

100-100*2\%=100b^6\\\\98=100b^6\\\\b=0.9966

After 24 hours:

y = 100(0.9966)²⁴ = 92.15 kg

The amount of radioactive material remaining after 24 hours is 92.15 kg.
