Answer: The median is the only appropriate measure of center.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is ''Both the median and mode are appropriate measures of center''. Actually, the three, that is, the mean, media and mode can be used to measure the central of tendency. But the MEAN has a problem, it can be Skewed by large values in the distribution/data. Assuming, the days of the week when patients visiting a dentist's office are;

Monday: 8, Tuesday: 41, Wednesday: 35, Thursday: 39, Friday: 36, and Saturday: 42.

And the mean of the distribution = 33.5. Most patients visit the dentist Tuesday to Saturday, where Saturday is the highest. The data is skewed. So, the MEDIAN will do the job perfectly.

For the mode; since we do not have; (1). two highest mode with the same value in the data provided and, (2). the highest value and the second to the highest values are not too far from each other. We can use the MODE here for measuring the central tendency.

===> CONCLUSION: (1). Assuming the data fails the two condition for mode, the most correct statement will be ''The median is the only appropriate measure of center".

===> (2). Also, for this data, the MEDIAN will be the only appropriate measure of center.

We know that
Mean and median both try to measure the central tendency in a data set.The mean is commonly used, but sometimes the median is preferred.
Mode is the element which occurs the most times in the set

therefore
the answer is the option 
Both the mean and median are appropriate measures of center.

Write the equation of the conic section with the given properties:
timurjin [86]

Answer:

\frac{x^2}{64} + \frac{y^2}{25} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse with vertices (-8, 0) and (8, 0)

Distance between two vertices = 2a

Distance between (-8,0) and (8,0) = 16

2a= 16

so a= 8

Vertex is (h+a,k)

we know a=8, so vertex is (h+8,k)

Now compare (h+8,k) with vertex (8,0) and find out h and k

h+8 =8, h=0

k =0  

a minor axis of length 10.

Length of minor axis = 2b

2b = 10

so b = 5

General formula for the equation of horizontal ellipse is

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b} =1

a= 8 , b=5 , h=0,k=0. equation becomes

\frac{(x-0)^2}{8^2} + \frac{(y-0)^2}{5} =1

\frac{x^2}{64} + \frac{y^2}{25} =1

Find the inverse of the function f(x) =x^2-5. Is the inverse a function?
Mariana [72]
Y=x^2-5, solve for x

y+5=x^2

x=√(y+5) so 

f^-1(x)=√(y+5)
