The mean is a better descriptor for skewed distribution. a. true b. false

Mathematics
2 answers:
Molodets [167]3 years ago

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

b. false

Explanation:

When a distribution is skewed, this means that there is at least one value that changes the shape of the distribution.  This value is much different from the rest of the data; this makes it an outlier.

An outlier has an affect on the mean; if it is higher than the rest of the data, it increases the mean.  If the outlier is lower than the rest of the data, it decreases the mean.

Most likely true. It depends. When the distribution is skewed with an extreme tilting it to one side, median would be a better measure of central tendency. If the extremities are almost balanced on both sides then mean would be a better measure of central tendency.

Richard's cumulative GPA for 3 semesters_ was 2.0 for 42 credits. His fourth semester GPA was 4.0 for 14 course units. What is R
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Richard's cumulative GPA = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Richard's cumulative GPA for 3 semesters was 2.0 for 42 credits.

Average = 2

Total credits = 42

Average = sum of terms/total no of terms

2 = sum of terms/42

sum of terms = 84 ....(1)

His fourth semester GPA was 4.0 for 14 course units

Average = 4

Total credits = 14

sum of terms = 56 .....(2)

Average for 4 semesters,

A=\dfrac{84+56}{42+14}\\\\A=2.5

Hence, Richard's cumulative GPA for all 4 semesters is 2.5.

HELP............Graph. y+1=1/3(x−3) (it has to have 2 points)
natta225 [31]
The intercept method of graphing is quick and easy.

Find the x-intercept by setting y = 0 and solving for x:

y+1=1/3(x−3)   =>   0<span>+1=1/3(x−3)
  Multiply both sides by 3:  3 = x - 3.  Then x = 6, and the x-int. is (6, 0).

Find the y-int by setting x = 0 and solving for y:

</span><span>y+1=1/3(0−3)
Mult both sides by 3:  3y+3 = -3, so that 3y = -6, and y = -2.
Then the y-intercept is (0,-2).

Plot these 2 points.  Then draw a line thru them.</span>
