Sometimes the outlier, if it's too large, can throw off the mean, making it larger and smaller, so it isn't as accurate

sorry if this doesnt make sense if you need me to explain it more I will

When you include the outlier, the men will be far away from the data set.

When you don't include the outlier, the mean will be within the data set.

Hope this helps :)

You order two tacos and a salad. the salad costs 2.50.you pay 8% sales tax and leave a $3 tip. you pay a total of 13.80 how much

Given:Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes
2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Solutions: 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality)
The cost of a single taco is $3.75
