The balanced scale represents the equation: 3x + 1 = x + 3
1 answer:
<u>Given</u>:
The given balanced scale is represented by the equation
----- (1)
We need to determine the process that balance the scale.
<u>Process to balance the scale:</u>
Given that the if one x block is subtracted from the right side and three numbered blocks are subtracted from the left side.
Thus, the equation (1) becomes
----- (2)
Now, to balance the scale, let us subtract one block x from the left side and subtract three numbered blocks from the right side.
Thus, the equation (2) becomes,
------ (3)
Thus, the equation (3) is the same as the equation (1).
Hence, the process required to balance the scale is to subtract one x block from the left side and subtract three numbered blocks from the right side.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

Answer:
The correct option is Mean and standard deviation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data set provided, arranged in ascending order is:
S = {0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 4}
Now, it is provided that Macy was absent when the data was collected and the class guessed she had 4 siblings. When she returned, they found out she actually has 9 siblings.
So, the new data set is:
X = {0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 9}
The mean of a data set is the average value representing the entire data.
The median is the middle value of the data set.
The inter-quartile range is the difference between the first and the third quartile.
The standard deviation is the value that represents how dispersed the data values are.
From all the above statistic, the mean and standard deviation are the only ones that uses all the observations in the data set to compute their value.
So, on changing one of the 4s by a 9, the set of measures that will be affected are the mean and standard deviation.
Thus, the correct option is Mean and standard deviation.
