Answer:

Median is used to describe the center of the data of heights of 50 basketball players.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median divides the data into two equal parts.

It can be used to describe the center of the data.

The mean gives the average where most data lies.

The advantages of median are

1)it is located even when the values are not capable of quantitative measurements.

2) It is not affected by extreme values > It can be computed even when a frequency distribution  involves open end classes like those of income and prices.

3) In a highly skewed distribution median is appropriate average to use.

The disadvantages of the mean are

1) it is greatly affected by extreme values.

2) It sometimes gives fallacious conclusions.

3) In a highly skewed distribution mean is  not an appropriate average to use.

4) It cannot be computed even when a frequency distribution  involves open end classes like those of income and prices.

Answer:

7m-7m=8n+8n

m=16n

Step-by-step explanation: U must first link the like terms so in order to do so u must bring over the 7m, now before u brought over the 7m it was a positive 7m now that your bring it over it turns negeitive and the same goes for the term 8n when u carry that term over it turns positive now dont let the subtraction sign foul u it still negative as long as its beside the term it is going to be negative guys dont  forget that, now on to the next step after u cross over and change signs u start to work out now that the like terms are equal u dont  need to worry about them because its given u the go ahead to workout so your main focus is on the subtracting the 7's which  is 0 and leaves u with m u dont  have to put them but i dont recommend it the u start on the next side u and the 8's which is 16 and u put bk the n u have to put bk the terms its important and thats  how u get m=16n.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

144.5 in ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h  where the b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases and h is the height

A = 1/2 ( 9.7+24.3) * 8.5

  = 1/2 ( 34)*8.5

   =144.5
