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.

URGENT!! 25 points. help on C please. this assignment is already late
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

7+(11-4\times 2)=10

Step-by-step explanation:

So, this question involves you to play around with the numbers and the operations a bit. I've come up with a solution, but perhaps there are others as well.

So, we have:

7\text{ } 11\text{ } 4\text{ } 2\text{ } =\text{ } 10

So, what we can do is, for instance, multiply 4 and 2. Subtract that into 11. And then add the difference to 7. Thus:

7+(11-4\times 2)=10

This is a true number sentence. Let's do it to make sure.

First, do the operations inside the parentheses.

Multiplication comes first, so multiply:

7+(11-8)=10

Again, do the parentheses first. Subtract:

7+(3)=10

Now add:

10=10

So our answer is correct :)

Solve the following equation for x: 6(4x+5)= 3(x+8)+3. Round to the nearest hundredth.
gavmur [86]
6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 27
24x - 3x = 27 - 30
21x = - 3
x = -3/21
x = - 0.143 <==
