<span>The median would be preferred over the mean in such scenarios because the median will lessen the impact of the outliers that fall within the "tail" of the skew. Therefore, if a curve is normally distributed, that is to say that data is normally distributed, there will be two tails, each with approximately equal proportions of outliers. Outliers in this case being more extreme numbers, and are based on your determination depending on how you are using the data. If data is skewed there is one tail, and therefore it may be an inaccurate measure of central tendency if you use the mean of the numbers. Thinking of this visually. In positively skewed data where there is a "tail" towards the right and a "peak" towards the left, the median will be placed more in the "peak", whereas the mean will be placed more towards the "tail", making it a poorer measure of central tendency, or the center of the data.</span>

What is the coordinate of the midpoint of (2, 1) and (18, 7)?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The midpoint is (10, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint, you add the x value from the first coordinate and the x value from the second coordinate, then divide by two to get the x coordinate of the midpoint. You do the the same exact thing with the two y values to find the y coordinate of the midpoint.

2 + 18 = 20

20 / 2 = 10

1 + 7 = 8

8 / 2 = 4

(10, 4)

Hope this helps!

A field hockey team wins 80% of its games. Based on your simulation, what is the experimental probability of the team winning it
ElenaW [278]
The probability that they will win their next three games is 51.2%.

The chance that they win is 80%. To find the probability that they win 3 games in a row, we just have to multiply 80% by itself 3 times.

0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 0.512 = 51.2%
