<h3>Answer:  D) 76; increases</h3>

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

Explanation:

The main group or cluster of values spans from 32 to 42 (inclusive).

Then off on its own is the value 76, which we consider an outlier. This value is fairly far from the group. As a rule, large outliers pull on the arithmetic mean to make it larger than it should be. Think of it like the outlier pulling on the mean as if it was done through a magnet or gravitational pull.

Similarly, small outliers pull the mean to the left to make it smaller than it should be. We don't have any small outliers in this case.

--------------

Let's consider the set

A = {32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 41, 42, 42, 46}

where I've sorted the values and I replaced 76 with 46.

Computing the mean of set A gets us

(32+34+35+36+37+38+38+41+42+42+46)/11 = 38.27 approximately

--------------

Now let's form this set

B = {32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 41, 42, 42, 76}

which is the original set your teacher gave you. It's nearly identical to set A, except that the 46 is now 76 again.

Compute the mean of set B

(32+34+35+36+37+38+38+41+42+42+76)/11 = 41

---------------

Set A has a mean of roughly 38.72 and set B has a mean of 41. We see that the mean has increased.

Is the following Inductive Generalization strong or weak? Apply and explain the three checks: 1. Is the appropriate group sample
arsen [322]

Answer:

For the reasons mentioned in the explanation section, it is indeed a weak generalization:  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • No, there is not enough data provided on certain subjects' age, socioeconomic status, etc. that may have influenced the investing decision.
  • No, the survey isn't random, the study is irregular because each has a fair probability of expressing their true beliefs, here in this query it's written they've been told individuals are given actual medication, which may have contributed to the Hawthorne studies giving incorrect outcomes.
  • No, the amount isn't sufficient mostly on the premise of 28 subject areas with be provided oxytocin, and therefore only one test being performed should we not be able to determine the results to implement for certain persons including billions of populace, it would be a hurried generalization.

Answer:

In case (a) car makes 105° turn.

In case (b) car makes 75° turn.

In case (c) car makes 105° turn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure is redrawn To explain properly (in attachment)

Given : streets are parallel means \overline{AB} ║ \overline{CD},

             AB - 4th street , CD - 3rd street and XY - King Ave.

            ∠XLA = 75°

To find : (a) ∠XLB

              (b) ∠LMD (left onto 3rd streat means left of car)

              (c) ∠YMD (right means right side of car)

∠XLB + ∠XLA = 180° (Linear Pair = 2 adjacent angles are  

                                     supplementary)

∠XLB + 75° = 180°

∠XLB  = 180 - 75

∠XLB = 105°

∴ In case (a) car makes 105° turn.

∠LMD = ∠XLA = 75° (Corresponding angles of parallel lines are equal)

∠LMD = 75°

∴ In case (b) car makes 75° turn.

∠YMD + ∠LMD = 180° (Linear Pair = 2 adjacent angles are

                                       supplementary)

∠YMD + 75° = 180°

∠YMD = 180 - 75

∠YMD = 105°

∴In case (c) car makes 105° turn.
