1. Create a data set with at least 15 values, including one value that is an outlier.

2. Give the data set.

3. Find the mean of the data.

4. If you remove the outlier, will the mean decrease, increase, or remain the same? Explain why.

5. Find the mean without the outlier to show that your response is correct.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 and 2. { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 , 100 }

3. Mean ➡ 13.67 ( About )

4. The mean will decrease. The mean is the average difference between the values in a data set, and this outlier is much greater than the rest of the values. Therefore, in the absence of the outlier the mean will decrease.

5. Mean ➡ 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I do want to point out that there is no " correct " answer in this case, but if you are referring to accuracy in terms of the calculations ( mean ) in this set, then I can understand.

1 and 2. An outlier is a value that does not belong to the set of values, considering their is pattern among the numbers. In other words it can be a number of high value, or a number of low value with respect to the data set. This throws the pattern of the set off balance, and does result in drastic changes in the mean.

Let's say that this is the following set - { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 }. A very basic set, but as you can see contains only 14 elements. This last element here will be the outlier, 100 - { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 100 }.

3 and 4 and 5. Assuming that this outlier was not present, I can tell that the set would have a mean less than when it was present. The mean is the average difference in the data set, and this outlier is greater than the other elements - greatly increasing the mean. The mean of the data set with the outlier is 13.67, and the mean of the data set without the outlier would be 7.5.

these 3 problems ty

Answers

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The 3 angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So x = 180 - (55 + 25)

= 180 - 80

= 100 degrees.

2.  The 4 angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360 degrees,, so

3x + 127 + 54 + 119 = 360

3x + 300 = 360

3x = 360 - 300

3x = 60

x = 20 degrees.

3. Exterior angle

= 94 + 42

= 136 degrees.

There were some people on a train. 19 people got off the train at the first stop. 17 people get on the train. Now there is 63 people on the train. How many people were on the train to begin with?

Answers

Answer:

65 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to work backwards.

We end with 63 people, and at the stop we lost 19 people and gained 17.

[tex]x - 19 + 17 = 63\\[/tex]; if x = # people at the beginning

[tex]x - 19 + 17 = 63\\x - 2 = 63\\x = 65[/tex]

There were 65 people on the train to begin with.

Answer:

65 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we need to work backward,

63 on the train and 17 got on so we do 63 - 17 = 46

Then 19 got off so 46 + 19 = 65

Hence, 65 people were on the train on the first stop.

If water flows 12 feet in 9 seconds through the turbine, how far will the water flow in 54 seconds? If the water continues to flow at this rate, how long will it take the water to travel 54 feet?

Answers

54/9 = 6
12 x 6 = 72
72 feet in 54 seconds
54/72 = 0.75
1 foot = 0.75 seconds
0.75 x 54 = 40.2 seconds to travel 54 feet

Answer:

40.5 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The flow rate is (12 ft) / (9 sec), or 4/3 ft/ sec.

In 54 sec, the water will have moved

(4/3 ft/sec)(54 sec) = 72 ft.

If the flow rate is 4/3 ft/sec and the distance covered is 54 ft, we divide

The formula for calculating the size of the population after t years using continuous growth is [tex]A = 100e^{2t}[/tex], making option B the right choice.

Continuous growth in the initial amount P, after time period t, and at the rate of r per time period gives the final amount as: [tex]A = Pe^{rt}[/tex]

In the question, we are asked to suppose that a population begins at a size of 100, and grows continuously at a rate of 200% per year, and are asked for the formula for calculating the size of that population after t years.

The given case can be shown as a continuous growth, with:

Initial population, P = 100,

Rate of growth, r = 200% = 2, and,

The time period, t years.

Thus, the formula for calculating the size of that population after t years can be shown using the formula: [tex]A = Pe^{rt}[/tex], as:

[tex]A = 100e^{2t}[/tex].

Hence, the formula for calculating the size of the population after t years using continuous growth is [tex]A = 100e^{2t}[/tex], making option B the right choice.

On the graph of an exponential function representing growth what happens to the slope of the graph as X increases

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the graph will increase and get steeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

As x increases in an exponential growth graph, f(x) will have a larger value because the exponent value increases.

So, the graph will become steeper due to a larger slope.

The slope of the graph will increase and get steeper.

What is Slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the

change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope

Given:

As we know that, all points on an exponential curve are always at a constant distance from one another because the slope of an exponential curve equals the constant rate of expansion.

The graph is not exponential if the slope is not constant.

So, In an exponential growth graph, f(x) will have a greater value as x grows as the exponent grows.

Consequently, a larger slope will cause the graph to grow steeper.

He was born at "Wakefield," near Popes Creek, Westmoreland County, VA, on February 22, 1732. During his lifetime, Washington became known for his love of the land and farming, and many argue that he was perhaps the one indispensable man among the founders. It is hard to imagine any of the others commanding the respect needed to lead the Continental Army to victory over Great Britain, preside over the Constitutional Convention, and serve the United States as its first president. While still in his teens, Washington became a land surveyor, which gave him a solid grounding in mathematics and the evaluation of topography. This would later serve him well as a military commander. As a lieutenant colonel of the Virginia militia, Washington led a force into the Ohio Valley to contest French domination of that region. He was in command of the British forces at the Battle of Fort Necessity in the summer of 1754, the war that ended with the removal of French power from North America and set the stage for the American Revolution. Washington gained valuable military experience in that conflict. Inheriting Mt. Vernon, a family planation on the Potomac River, in 1761, Washington spent the next 15 years as a planter, also serving in the House of Burgesses the (the colonial legislature in Virginia). He took the patriot side in the disputes with Great Britain in the 1760s and 1770s, and he was elected to the first Continental Congress in 1774. With the coming of open war with Britain in 1775, the congress decided to make Washington commander in chief of the new Continental Army. Washington had as much military experience as anyone in the colonies, and his selection helped gain the allegiance of Virginia, by far the most populous of the 13 colonies. After accepting the British surrender at Yorktown in October 1781, Washington retired to Mt. Vernon to revive his plantation and financial position. His political career continued when he was elected to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and reluctantly served as its presiding officer. Washington's support of the Constitution was critical in its acceptance by the states. He was a virtually unanimous choice for the nation's first president. Washington served two terms and could easily have gained a third had he wished to do so. Instead, he established the precedent of a two-term maximum. In the last years of his life, he was appointed as lieutenant general and commander of the United States Army again on July 3, 1798, and he served until his death on December 14, 1799. 4 Select the correct answer.
