Answer:
The mean.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is not robust.
The presence of an outlier greatly affects the value of a mean.
An example will illustrate this.
Find the mean of the numbers 2 3 5 6 34.
34 is an outlier. The mean = (2+3+5+6+34) / 5 = 10.
Now if we replace the outlier with a number closer to the others:
Say we have 2 3 5 6 8 :
The mean = (2+3+5+6+8) / 5 = 4.8 which is a much truer measure of centrality than 10.
Answer:
x=27
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x-18)+(4x)=180 bc its a straight line
simplify
6x-18=180
-18 -18
6x=162
divide
x=27
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
10 / 2 = 5
5 times smaller also means 1/5 as big.
4 1/3
Okay, I know fractions are scary, but we can do this alright?
First, you see the whole number on the side? Get that first.
10- 5 = 5
now we have 5 left and a scary fraction. Don't panic, let's do this. We know 1 is 3/3. 1 can be anything as long as the number on top and the number at the bottom are the same then it would be one.
So 3/3 is one then we can subtract:
3/3 -2/3 .
We subtract the top number and leave the one at the bottom the same.
3-2 = 1
Then we have 1/3.
As you took one away from the 5, it becomes a 4 and you put back the left over, 1/3.
Then you answer will be :
4 1/3
A and d seem correct to me.
b and c are definitely wrong.
