The mean can be misleading if you don't know the spread of data items. True or false...

Mathematics

Flura [38]3 years ago

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.

A 10-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. The base of the ladder is 2 feet from the base of the building. How far up the build

We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse 

x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x 

x^2+36=100 Square each individual term 

x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides 

x^2=64 Combine like terms 

sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides 

x = 8 Simplify the square root 

So our answer is x = 8 
The ladder touches the 8 feet mark on the wall.

What is the distance between (10, 6) and (-2, -3)
Helga [31]

Answer:

15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

√(x1-y1)^2 + (y1-y2)^2))

So here it is:

√(10- -2)^2 + (6- -3)^2)

= √(144+81)

=  √225

= 15.

Hello everyone I need help with this worksheet it's ten problems answer the ones you know for me please it's homework.
Fed [463]

Answer:

1. Slope = -4/5

2. Slope = 2/3

3. Slope = 0

4. Slope = 3/-4

5. Slope = 7/-12

6. Slope = 1/2

7. Slope = -2/0 --> Undefined

8. Slope = 3/-2

9. Slope = 5/-4

10. Slope = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so I'm assuming that you want the slope for all the two points. Basically, the formula for slope is rise/run, or y2-y1/x2-x1. Solve using that. For example, for number 1, it would be:

10-2/1-11 = 8/-10 = -4/5
