Outliers are data that are in a very far distance from other values in a set of data

Once an outlier is detected in a set of data, we can do the following to them:

  • Discard the outlier
  • Change the value of the outlier with another value within close range
  • Consider the distribution given

We may have a set of data where some of the <em>values are far in distance from the majority of the data</em>. The set of such data are known as an outlier.

For example, give the set of data;

  • 2, 4, 7, 45, 8

45 can be considered as an outlier since the <em>distance of data</em><em> to all other data is</em><em> large</em><em>.</em>

Once an outlier is detected in a set of data, we can do the following to them:

  • Discard the outlier
  • Change the value of the outlier with another value within close range
  • Consider the distribution given

A university conducted a study and determined that a college student walks an average of 2.4 miles a day and a college graduate
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Using a bar graph where one bar has a length of 2.4 and one bar has a length of 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

You use a bar graph to compare things between different groups, so it is the most appropriate one to use.

You use a pie chart to compare parts of a whole, so it would not be appropriate.

The graph should represent the relative sizes of the two values (24:18 or 1.33:1). Using a square or a cube would distort the relationship. The relative area of the squares would be 1.77:1 and that of the cubes would be 2.37:1.

The fairy tale spectacular is coming to town. Admission to the fair costs $32.50 and each ride costs $.80. You have $50 to spend
mixas84 [53]

Solution:

we are given that

The fairy tale spectacular is coming to town. Admission to the fair costs $32.50 and each ride costs $.80.

You have $50 to spend at the fairy tale spectacular including admission.

Suppose you took x ride, then we can write.

So the inequality can be written as below:

32.50+0.80x\leq 50

PartB:

Now lets solve the inequality

32.50+0.80x\leq 50\\\\ 0.80x\leq 50-32.50\\\\0.80x\leq 17.50\\\\x\leq 21.875

Hence you can take a maximum of 21 rides.

Consider the initial value problem 25y′′+40y′+16y=0, y(0)=a, y′(0)=−1. Find the critical value of a that separates solutions tha
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the differential equation

25y′′+40y′+16y=0

Using D operator to find the complementary solution

Since the Differential equation is equal to 0, then it doesn't have a partial solution.

25y′′+40y′+16y=0

25D² + 40D +16 = 0

25D² + 20D + 20D +16 = 0

5D(5D+4)+4(5D+4)= 0

(5D+4)=0 twice

D = -4/5 twice,

So the solution is a real and equal roots

y(t) = (A+B•t) exp(—0.8t)

Where A and B are constant

The initial value are.

y(0)=a, y′(0)=−1

y(0) = a = (A+B(0)) exp(—0.8(0))

a = A

Then, the constant A = a.

Now, y'(t)

y'(t)=B•exp(-0.8t)-0.8(A+B•t)exp(-0.8t

-1 = B - 0.8A

Since A =a

Then, B = 0.8a —1

The solution becomes

y(t) = (a+(0.8a-1)•t) exp(—0.8t)

For t>0

For positive,

a + (0.8a -1)> 0

1.8a > 1

a > 1/1.8

a > 10/18 > 5/9

a > 5/9.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

13 15 14 16 12

The point estimate of the population mean will be :

ΣX/ n

X = Given data points

N = sample size

ΣX = (13 + 15 + 14 + 16 + 12) = 70

N = 5

Hence,

ΣX/ N = 70 / 5

Point estimate of population mean = 14
