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.

Tobias sent a chain letter to his friends, asking them to forward the letter to more friends. The number of people who receive t
malfutka [58]

Answer:

  • P(t)=37\times (4)^{(t/9.1)}

Explanation:

The number of emails is multiplied by <em>4</em> every <em>9.1 weeks.</em>

Thus, since <em>Tobias initially sent the chain letter to 37 friends</em>, the number of letters will grow as per this geometric series:

Start:        37 letters

  • In 9.1 weeks: 37 × 4

  • In 2 × 9.1 weeks: 37 × (4)²

  • In 3 × 9.1 weeks: 37 × (4)³

As you see, the exponent is the number of weeks divided by 9.1

Thus, if your variable is the number of weeks, t, then the exponent is t/9.1

And the exponential function, P(t) will be:

   P(t)=37\times (4)^{(t/9.1)}
