Both mean and median are measures of the center of a set of data.
Mean is normally preffered to the median except if there is an outlier that has a tendency to affect the mean.
An outlier is a data point that significantly differs from the other data points in a sample.
In the data set above, there is no outlier that will affect the mean.
Therefore, he should use the mean because there are no outliers that affect the mean.
Answer:
2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
1) find the mean of the data set. = 15
2) find the abs value of the diff between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.
|10-15|=5, |20-15|=5, |15-15|=0, |17-15|=2, |13-15|=2
3) find the sum of the abs values of the diff = 14
4) divide the sum of the abs value by the number of data values = 14/5 = 2.8
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Because <span>STVU is an isosceles trapezoid
so SV = TU
</span><span>6x - 5 = 2x + 7
6x - 2x = 7 + 5
4x = 12
x = 3
answer
x = 3</span>
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is:
6 is what percent of 24?
Set up the problem:
6 x
---- = -----
24 100
600 / 24 = 25%
Check your answer:
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24
