Which data set has an outlier? 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39 63, 65, 66,

It's hard to tell where one set ends and the next starts. I think it's
A. 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77
B. 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14
C. 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39
D. 63, 65, 66, 69, 71, 78, 80, 81, 82, 82
Let's go through them.
A. 25, 36, 44, 51, 62, 77
That looks OK, standard deviation around 20, mean around 50, points with 2 standard deviations of the mean.
B. 3, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 10, 14
Average around 7, sigma around 4, within 2 sigma, seems ok.
C. 8, 17, 18, 20, 20, 21, 23, 26, 31, 39
Average around 20, sigma around 8, that 39 is hanging out there past two sigma. Let's reserve judgement and compare to the next one.
D. 63, 65, 66, 69, 71, 78, 80, 81, 82, 82
Average around 74, sigma 8, seems very tight.
I guess we conclude C has the outlier 39. That one doesn't seem like much of an outlier to me; I was looking for a lone point hanging out at five or six sigma.
Answer: A. The number is a sample statistic because it is a numerical description of all of the passengers that survived.
Step-by-step explanation:
A population is simply similar items or events that a researcher or an experimenter is interested and wants to carry out an experiment on.
A statistic is simply referred to as the piece of information gotten from the population while a sample statistic is the piece of statistical information which a researcher will be able to get from the statistic.
In this scenario, the number is a sample statistic because it is a numerical description of all of the passengers that survived.
Two lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is - 1.
So, you just need to find the slope of each line and find out the product of their slopes.
I will do one example for you.
L1: y = 3x + 5
L2: y = - 3x + 14
L3: y = -x/3 + 14
The slope of a line is the coefficient of the x.
So the slopes are:
L1: slope 3
L2: slope -3
L3: slope -1/3
So now multiply the slopes of each pair of lines:
L1 and L2: 3 * (-3) = - 9 => No, they are not perpendicular
L2 and L3: (-3) * (-1/3) = 1 => No, they are not perpendicular
L1 and L3: (3) * (-1/3) = -1 => Yes, they are penpendicular.
