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.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

904

Step-by-step explanation:

According to PEMDAS, we must multiply 100 and 9 first, which gets us 900. Then divide 12 by 2, which gets us six. 900 - 2 + 6 = 898 + 6 = 904.

Each inhabitant of a remote village always tells the truth or always lies. A villager willgive only a ""Yes"" or ""No"" response
pshichka [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually a very old riddle, but it is two guards and two doors life death .

So let's apply the same logic to this one.

You only meet one villager and you don't know if he is one of the ones who only tells the truth or always lies, to answer this riddle, the question is actually to an hypothetical third party, another villager, not present, this is a little convoluted so bear with me:

(Pointing to one of the roads): If I asked another villager if this road would lead me to the ruins, would he be correct?

If the villager is a truth one, the true-villager, would tell you that the liar-villager would say no (thus leading you to the jungle).

  • Let's analyze this one, so the villager always tells the truth, and you happen to be pointing to the right direction (ruins), he is answering, that if you would ask another villager whether that is the correct road, that villager would say yes, since you are pointing at the right direction, a liar would tell you no, because the liar would point you to the other road as the correct (jungle), so the true-villager will say no
  • If you happen to be pointing to the wrong direction (jungle), he is answering, that if you would ask another villager whether that is the correct road, that villager would say yes, since you are pointing at the wrong direction, the truth-villager would tell you no, because the liar would point you to the wrong road as the correct (jungle), so the villager will say no

Therefore, no matter what villager you run into, the question will always lead you to the jungle, and therefore you pick the other road.
