For the first option, the range is a measure of variability which measures the spread of the data set from the least value to the greatest value, but it does not take into account the variability of the other data values of the data set. The range is easily affected by the presence of outliers (data points that are away from other data points). Thus the range is regarded as a weak measure of variability and is not used when other measures of variability are available. Thus, that the range of the two data sets are equal does not mean that the data sets have the same variability. Therefore, the first option is not the correct answer.
For the second option, the median is not a measure of variability. Thus, that a data set has a greater median than another data set does not mean that the data set would have a greater variability. Therefore, the second option is not the correct answer.
For the third option, the inter-quartile range (IQR) is a better measure of variability than the range because it takes into account more data points than the range. Now, because, the the IQR of Team 2 is less than the IQR of Team 1, this shows that Team 1 have greater variability than Team 2 and thus the conclusion of the coaches are inaccurate. Therefore, the third option is the correct answer.
For the fourth option, the mean absolute deviation, MAD, is a better measure of variability than the IQR because it takes into account all the points of the data set. While IQR measures variability with respect to the median, MAD measures variability with respect to the mean. Because we are told that the data sets are not symmetrical, the median will be a better measure of the center than the mean, thus the IQR will present a better measure of the variability of the data sets. Thus, though the MAD for Team 2 was calculated to be a larger number than the MAD for Team 1, the information can be misleading in arriving at a conclusion on which data set has more variability because the data sets are not symmetrical. Therefore, the fourth option is not the correct answer.
<span>There are 53 dimes in Jonahs piggy bank. You must use algebra to solve for a variable X as follows:
x.10+(91-X).05=7.2
Solving through will yield X =53 which means 91 - 53 = 38.
53*.10 + 38*.05 = $7.20.
Other methods will also work, but this is the most straight forward.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = 3x + 1
Required
Equation of line that passes through (12,-6) and is perpendicular to y = 3x + 1
First, the slope of the line has to be calculated;
Th slope of a line is the coefficient of x in its linear equation;
This implies that the slope of y = 3x + 1 is 3
Having calculated the slope of the first line;
The relationship between both lines are perpendicularity; this implies that
Where m_1 = 3 and m_2 is the slope of the secodnd line
becomes
Divide both sides by 3
The equation of the line can be calculated using the folloing formula
Where and
The equation becomes
