Answer: the first option is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Martin runs 3/4 mile three days a week. We would assume that he runs a total of 3/4 miles in three days of each week.
In four weeks the number of days that he runs would be
3 × 4 = 12 days
Since he runs 3/4 miles in 3 days, the number of miles that he would run in 12 days would be
3/4 × 12 = 9 miles
He would run 9 miles in four weeks
Answer:
A) mean = 1.2
B) median
C) The measures of center use data points to approximate a middle value or average of a given data set
Step-by-step explanation:
The “balance” process was developed to provide another way in which the mean characterizes the “center” of a distribution.
The mean is the balance point of the data set when the data are shown as dots on a dot plot (or pennies on a ruler).
A) The balance point for the points 0.4, 1.4, and 1.8. Will be
(0.4 + 1.4 + 1.8)/3 = 3.6/3 = 1.2
B) The median is the measure of center that is indicated by the center of balance
The median is the value in the center of the data. Half of the values are less than the median and half of the values are more than the median. It is probably the best measure of center to use in a skewed distribution.
C) A measure of central (measure of center tendency) is a value that describe a set of data by identifying the central position of the data set. The three measures of central tendency are the mean, median and mode.
