<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.

Prove or disprove that the circle with equation x^2-4x+y^2=-3 intersects the y axis
wel
The general equation given is x^2 - 4x + y^2 = -3. Transform this to an equation of a circle of the form x^2 + y^2 = r^2.

Use completing the square method:

x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = -3 + 4
(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 1

the center of the circle is (2,0) and r = 1

To check if it intersects the y axis, find the value of the x-intercept.

Chantel counted 48 books on 6 shelves in the library. How many books would she expect to count on 12 shelves?
sleet_krkn [62]
Start by finding out how many books per shelf. So divide 48 by 6, which would mean 8 books per shelf.
Multiply this by 12 shelves, which gives you 96 books.
Hope this helps!!

F(x) = x^2. What is g(x)?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

D. g(x)=(3x)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For function g(x), it displays the point (1,9) as part of the function. If (x,y), then we can plug those into the available answers. Plug 1 in for each x value in the function and whichever one equals 9 will be your answer. This is only true for g(x)=(3x)^2.
