The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "<span> C. The mean is decreased by about 1.2 and the median is decreased by 2." </span>For the data shown in the stem-and-leaf plot, the effect on the mean and median of adding the value 10 to the data set is that t<span>he mean is decreased by about 1.2 and the median is decreased by 2.</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:





<h3>Hope it is helpful....</h3>
a. Factorize the denominator:

Then we're looking for
such that


If
, then
; if
, then
. So we have

as required.
b. Same setup as in (a):

We want to find
such that

Quick aside: for the second term, since the denominator has degree 2, we should be looking for another constant
such that the numerator of the second term is
. We always want the polynomial in the numerator to have degree 1 less than the degree of the denominator. But we would end up determining
anyway.

If
, then
; if
, then
. Expanding everything on the right then gives

which tells us
and
; in both cases, we get
. Then

as required.
