Answer: The median value of data set B is -5.5, which is less than the median value of 3.1 in dataset A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Order the dataset from least to greatest:
-38 → -13 → -9 → -2 → 14 → 28
Then find the values that lies in the middle:
-38 → -13 → <u>-9 → -2</u> → 14 → 28
Since there are 2 values, find the average of those 2 values:
The median value = -5.5.
The median value of data set B is -5.5, which is less than the median value of 3.1 in dataset A.
Answer: The distance is sqrt(40).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
(Look at the image I attached)
Let's set a = 2 and b = 6. The mystery side is c, which is opposite to the right angle that is formed when you draw perpendicular lines from each of the points.
(2)^2 + (6)^2 = c^2 <--- First, we need to simplify
4 + 36 = c^2
40 = c^2 <--- Now, we need to take the square root of both sides.
c = sqrt(40)
So, the distance between (5, -4) and (-1, -2) is sqrt(40). I recommend looking at some videos on Khan Academy if you need more help! Let me know if you want me to attach a link that you can visit.
