Answer: Choice A) mean, there are no outliers
Have a look at the image attached below. I made two dotplots for the data points. The blue points represent bakery A. The red points represent bakery B. For any bakery, the points are fairly close together. There is no point that is off on its own. So there are no outliers, making the mean a good choice for the center. If there were outliers, then the median is a better choice. The mean is greatly affected by outliers, while the median is not.
Answer: Vertex = (2, -15) 2nd point = (0, -3)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
g(x) = 3x² - 12x - 3
= 3(x² - 4x - 1)
a=1 b=-4 c=-1
Find the x-value of the vertex by using the formula for the axis of symmetry:
= 2
Find the y-value of the vertex by plugging the x-value (above) into the given equation: g(x) = 3x² - 12x - 3
g(2) = 3(2)² - 12(2) - 3
= 12 - 24 - 3
= -15
So, the vertex is (2, -15) ← PLOT THIS COORDINATE
Now, choose a different x-value. Plug it into the equation and solve for y. <em>I chose x = 0</em>
g(0) = 3(0)² - 12(0) - 3
= 0 - 0 - 3
= -3
So, an additional point is (0, -3) ← PLOT THIS COORDINATE

To graph the equation y=4x+1, we just find two points that exist, plot them, and draw a straight line that goes through them.
Let's try x=0:
One point on the line is (0,1)
Let's try x=1:
Another point is (1,5).
Now, plot these two points and draw a line through them.
