Answer:

Can someone explain? Interestingly, there are the same number of odd numbers as even numbers. Because they can have a one-to-one mapping with the natural numbers, they each set is countably infinite. There are countably infinitely many even integers

First things first - there are an infinite number of both even numbers and odd numbers.

It's important to realize that ∞
∞
(infinity) is not a number. Therefore it doesn't really make sense to talk about the "number" of even or odd numbers, or to write statements like even+1
E
e
v
e
n
+
1
, because that's assuming that even
E
e
v
e
n
is a number that you can sensibly add 1
1
to.

However, perhaps surprisingly it does make sense to ask if there are more even numbers than odd numbers. That is, you can compare two infinite quantities, or compare a finite quantity and an infinite quantity, even if you can't meaningfully add and subtract infinite quantities.

They way we define more, less and the same for infinite quantities is as follows. For two collections
A
and
B
(say
A
are the even numbers and
B
are the odd numbers) we say that

If you can associate every item in
A
with a unique item in
B
, and vice versa, then
A
and
B
are the same size.
If you can associate every item in
A
with a unique item in
B
, but not vice versa, then
B
is bigger than
A
.
If you can associate every item in
B
with a unique item in
A
, but not vice versa, then
A
is bigger than
B
.
In your case, you can associate every even number
n
with the odd number +1
n
+
1
, and you can associate every odd number
m
with the even number −1
m
−
1
(assuming 0 is even) so therefore there are just as many odd numbers as even numbers.

This can lead to seemingly paradoxical results, because e.g. you can associate every whole number
n
with the even number 2
2
n
, and every even number
m
with the whole number /2
m
/
2
, so there are just as many even numbers as whole numbers, even though the even numbers are a subset of the whole numbers.

In your own words, describe to someone who knows only a little statistics how to recognize when an observation is an outlier. Wh
erik [133]

Answer:

B)

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, an outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations.

This can happen because of different reasons: it may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate an actual experimental error. If it is an actual experimental error then it  can create problems when doing the statistical analysis.

A) We can say that this is true, the outliers are observed values far from the other data, however we can make a much deeper analysis of this.

B) This is the right answer, since we don't know what is really causing the outlier, we need to take a closer look to see if they are just mistakes (and therefore be removed). If they are not mistakes we need to do the analysis with and without them to reach correct conclusions.

C) this is wrong because although the part of the histogram is true. It is not true that they should be ignored.

d) The outliers differ significantly from the other data but this doesn't make them the minimum and maximum values in a data set and therefore they should not be treated as such.

Therefore, the correct answer is B)

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of the cakes is 60 divided by 4 which is 15. That goes to Helen

20 go to Sue

so far, he has given away 35 cakes out of the 60

he is left with 25 cakes

Yoo i need help !!! its math and i havent learned it yet
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

{f}^{ - 1} (x) = 9x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =  \frac{1}{9}x - 2

y = \frac{1}{9} x - 2

x =  \frac{1}{9}y - 2

x + 2 =  \frac{1}{9}y

9x + 18 = y

{f}^{ - 1} (x) = 9x + 18
