The answer to this question would be the last choice (this data has no outliers)
Explanation: The reason for this is that an outlier is basically any number or value that kind of stands off or is very separated from a set of data.
For example, if I had the numbers 1,2,3,2,9,5,7,5,8,4 and 47, 47 would definitely be an outlier as it's significantly greater than the rest of the data.
The data shown in your question doesn't vary a lot though, (it's contained within a range of 65 and 80- no number seems to be radically different).
Answer:
a) 16.25 centimeters
b) 6.8 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion for both of these problems.
a) Look at the longest side of each triangle. We can set up a fraction: 7.2/18. We can also set up a fraction for XZ and PR:
6.5/x
x represents the length you're trying to find.
Since the triangles are similar, we have an equation:
7.2/18=6.5/x
Cross multiply
16.25
XZ is 16.25 centimeters long.
b)
We can do same thing:
7.2/18=x/17
Cross multiply
6.8
QR is 6.8 centimeters long.
Hope this helps!
