PLZ HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLYIST!!!!!!!Explain the difference between a dot plot and a histogram. When would you use each graph?

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Histograms subdivide data into intervals (bins), and use rectangles (usually columns) to show the frequency (count) of observations in each interval. ... Dot plots include ALL values from the data set, with one dot for each occurrence of an observed value from the set.

Step-by-step explanation:

histogram-Analyzing whether a process can meet the customer's requirements. Analyzing what the output from a supplier's process looks like. Seeing whether a process change has occurred from one time period to another. Determining whether the outputs of two or more processes are different.

Dot plots are used for continuous, quantitative, univariate data. Data points may be labelled if there are few of them. Dot plots are one of the simplest statistical plots, and are suitable for small to moderate sized data sets. They are useful for highlighting clusters and gaps, as well as outliers.

Solve t/he system of linear equations given by x + y = 1 and ax − by = c, where a, b, c are real numbers. Note: The solution in

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 1 → (1)

ax - by = c → (2)

In (1) subtract y from both sides

x = 1 - y → (3)

Substitute x = 1 - y into (2)

a(1 - y) - by = c ← distribute left side

a - ay - by = c ( subtract a from both sides )

- ay - by = c - a ( multiply through by - 1 )

ay + by = a - c ← factor out y from each term on the left side

y(a + b) = a - c ← divide both sides by (a + b)

y = $\frac{a-c}{a+b}$ ← substitute into (3)

x = 1 - $\frac{a-c}{a+b}$ = $\frac{a+b}{a+b}$ - $\frac{a-c}{a+b}$ = $\frac{a+b-a+c}{a+b}$ = $\frac{b+c}{a+b}$

Pedro's Diner is open six days a week. His income for the first five days this week was

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

$330

Step-by-step explanation:

What is mean/average?

It is the "sum of all the numbers" divided by the "number of numbers".

An average of 200 for 6 numbers means:

$Average=\frac{SUM}{NumberOfNumbers}\\200=\frac{SUM}{6}\\SUM=200*6\\SUM=1200$

THus, if we were to add the 6 numbers, we would get "1200". Let the 6th number be x, so we can write:

120 + 110 + 200 + 300 + 140 + x = 1200

870 + x = 1200

x = 1200 - 870

x = 330

To make the average $200, Pedro needs to make $330 on 6th day.
