Which measure of variation should you use to describe
two data sets that are both not symmetric?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mean absolute deviation (MAD).

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable often used in statistics and probability, is a variable that has its possible values as numerical outcomes of a random experiment or phenomenon. It is usually denoted by a capital letter, such as X.

In statistics and probability, random variables are either continuous or discrete.

1. A continuous random variable is a variable that has its possible values as an infinite value, meaning it cannot be counted.

Example are the height of a randomly selected person, time it take to move from Texas to New York city, etc.

2. A discrete random variable is a variable that has its possible values as a finite value, meaning it can be counted.

Examples are the number of light bulbs that burn out in the next year in a room with 19 bulbs, the number of chicken in a district etc.

In Statistics, sampling can be defined as a process used to collect or select data (objects, observations, or individuals) from a larger statistical population using specific procedures.

The mean absolute deviation also referred to as mean deviation can be defined as the average of the distance or absolute deviations between the central point of a data set. Thus, it used by statisticians to illustrate the variability or statistical dispersion in a data set.

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a measure of variation that should be use to describe two data sets that are both not symmetric i.e they are skewed and as such not having a mirroring image.

2.2 laps is a 1 1/2 mile race.

What is a lap?

When a driver or a runner makes one trip around the track i.e. one full circle it is called lap.

Given a lap around a track is 2/5 of a mile.

1 lap =2/5 mile

x lap = 11/2 mile

x lap =(11/2) ÷(2/5)

x lap = 11/5 or 2.2

Thus 2.2 laps is a 1 1/2 mile race.

x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 2y + 13 = 0

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-8x+16+y²+2y+1=16+1-13
(x-4)²+(y+1)²=2²


general form of a circle's equation is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
Where (h,k) is the center and r= radius
By comparing with A,
(4,-1) is center and radius= 2.

The center of the circle is (-4,2) and the radius is 2

How to determine the center and the radius?

The equation is given as:

x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 2y + 13 = 0

Rewrite as:

x^2 - 8x + y^2  + 2y + 13 = 0

Subtract 12 from both sides

x^2 - 8x + y^2  + 2y = -13

Group each variable

[x^2 - 8x] + [y^2  + 2y] = -13

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Take the coefficient of x and y

-8 and 2

Divide by 2

-4 and 1

Square both numbers

16 and 1

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, we add 16 and 1 to both sides of the equation

[x^2 - 8x + 16] + [y^2  + 2y + 1] = -13 + 16 + 1

Express as perfect squares and evaluate the sum

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 4

Express 4 as 2^2

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 2^2

A circle is represented as:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2

Where:

Center = (a,b)

Radius = r

This means that the center of the circle is (-4,2) and the radius is 2

Let ​x^2+10x=6.
What values make an equivalent number sentence after completing the square?
Enter your answers in the boxes.
x^2+10x+___=___

Answers

Answer:

x² + 10x + 25 = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square use half the x coefficent (10/2 = 5)

and square it (5² = 25)

Then add it to both sides

x² + 10x + 25 = 6 + 25

x² + 10x + 25 = 31

Answer:

x^2 + 10x + 25 = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 10x + (10/2)^2 = 6 + 25

x^2 + 10x + 25 = 6 + 25

x^2 + 10x + 25 = 31

The first step requires a bit of explanation. The way to complete the square is to take 1/2 the linear term (10x) and square it

1/2 10 = 5

5 squared = 25

That number must be added to the right side to maintain equality.

Devika is making porridge by following this recipe.
She has 4 pints of milk and plenty of other ingredients.
What is the maximum number of whole servings she can make?
Note: 1 pint = 568 mL
Recipe: Serves 1
40 g oats
300 mL milk

Answers

4 pints x 568ml = 2272ml (this is how much milk she has)

2272ml divided by 300ml (the amount the recipe asks for) = 7.573...

round it down to get the nearest whole number, you end up with 7. (you can’t round it up to 8, because she has less than the amount needed for 8 servings)

so, the maximum number of whole servings she can make is 7.
