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:

<em>True</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Joey's eyes are 5.5 feet above the ground. He sets a mirror on the ground so he can see the top of a nearby building. The mirror
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

89 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will make a diagram to demonstrate the given scenario as shown in the attached picture.

Now we will use similar triangles to set the ratios as shown below to figure out the height of the building.

\frac{x}{130} =\frac{5.5}{8}

Now we will solve for x from this equation by cross multiplying.

8x=130\cdot5.5

8x=715

x=89.375

Therefore, height of the building is approximately 89 feet.

For the past ten years, Michelle has been tracking the average annual rainfall in Boynton Beach, Florida by recording her data i
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

<u>55.44 inches</u>

Step-By-Step Explanation

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

<u>the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in</u>
