True - since the outlier is way off it will cause your average to mess up which is why we test multiple times to make sure we are more accurate with our numbers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, the definition of an outlier is a number farther away from the general populous of digits. For example, a number line can have a lot of numbers clustered at 2, 3, and 4 but might have one way over on 10. This would mean 10 is an outlier.
Secondly, a skew is when a dot plot or a box and whisker plot is shaped a certain way. A negative skew would be a graph sloping to the right, and a positive skew is a graph sloping to the left. It looks a bit like a hill.
Knowing that the shape is made up of the different numbers and their amount, we can conclude that an outlier, or a number that is stretched far from the others, would affect the data set.
This means that the skew might change if there is a variable that is out of place.

If I am incorrect in my reasoning, please let me know so that I can plan better for my future answers. Have an amazing day.

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

∠A = 90

∠B = 30

∠C = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ∠B = x

∠A = 3x

∠C = x + 30

Angle sum property of triangle: Sum of three angles of triangle is 180

x + 3x + x + 30 = 180 {Combine like terms}

5x + 30 = 180

5x = 180 - 30

5x = 150

x = 130/5

x = 30

∠A = 3*30 = 90

∠C = 30 + 30 = 60

One pound of swordfish costs as much as 1.5 pounds of salmon. Mrs. O pays $39 for 2 pounds of salmon and 3 pounds of swordfish.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon is 6:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The price for 1 pound of swordfish = The price of 1.5 pound of salmon

So, On this relation

The price for ( 1 × 2 ) pound of swordfish = The price of ( 1.5× 2 ) pound of salmon

i.e The price for 2 pound of swordfish = The price of 3 pound of salmon

Now According to question

Mrs. O pay the total money for 2 pounds of swordfish and 3 pound of salmon = $ 39

Let the money she pay for swordfish = 2 sw

And The money she pay for salmon = 3 sa

∵, The total money she pay for both = $ 39

I.e 2 sw + 3 sa = 39

As 2 sw = 3 sa

So, 3 sa + 3 sa = 39

Or, 6 sa = 39

or, sa = $\frac{39}{6}$ = $\frac{13}{2}$

∴ sw = $\frac{13}{2}$ × $\frac{3}{2}$

or, sw = $\frac{39}{4}$

Now, the ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon = $\frac{\frac{39}{4}}{\frac{13}{2}}$

I.e The ratio = $\frac{6}{4}$

Hence The ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon is 6:4
