Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When data is skewed toward the high or low end, the mean can be a misleading measure of central tendency. In such a case the central tendency for the data items shifts toward either the high or low end -- away from the mean. The median then becomes the better measure.

PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!! Only need 4b and 4c

JulsSmile [24]

ANSWER:

b) No

c) Yes

EXPLANATION:

$3 (x+1)=3x+3$

3 (-8 + 1) = 3 x -8 + 3

(3 x -8) (3 x +1) = 3 x -8 + 3 (just put left and right sides into calcu separately)

-72 = -21

Both sides are not equal and therefore it isn't a solution.

3 (0.5 + 1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3

(3 x 0.5) (3 x +1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3

4.5 = 4.5

Both sides are equal and thereofre it IS a solution.

Tell whether the given value is a solution of the inequality. a/6 > -4; a = -18

balandron [24]

First we simplify the inequality

1. multiply 6 by the other side of the inequality (-4)

Now we have ...

a > -24

Anything that can be a solution to the inequality must be greater than -24

-18 is greater than -24

This means that, YES! a = -18 IS a solution to the inequality
