The ______ is the best measure of central tendency when there are extreme values in the distribution.

4 0

I think Theodosius the best measure. The outliers will not effect the measure. If you use mean, you add all the data points and divide by the number of data points. The extremes will skew the data. If you use mode, that may work also. You find the data that occurs most often.

Which is the best estimate for the average rate of change for the quadratic function graph on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 4?

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The best estimate for the average rate of change is $-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the average rate of change using the graph is equal to

$\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

In this problem we have

$f(a)=f(0)=0$

$f(b)=f(4)=-8$

$a=0$

$b=4$

Substitute

$\frac{-8-0}{4-0}=-2$

In a random sample of 200 cars of a particular model,

Aleks04 [339]

By using proportions, We expect 150 defects out of the 10,000 cars if the 3 defects out of the 200 cars sampled is representative of all 10,000 cars.

Option A is correct.

First, let's set up the proportions.

A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

We have 3/200 cars with defects and we want to know X for X/10000.

So 3/200 = X/10000

Now solve for X.

3/200 = X/10000

X = $\frac{3}{200} \times 10000$
