Answer:

Sample Response: When there is an outlier in the data set, the dot plot or histogram will be skewed. In a skewed representation, the mean is pulled up or down toward the tail of the data. Therefore, skewed data affects the mean more than the median.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

The dot plot or histogram will be skewed.

The mean is pulled up or down toward the tail.

The mean is affected more than the median.

Lin counts 5 bacteria under a microscope. She counts them again each day for four days, and finds
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Yes, but it is not linear. It is exponential :  f(x) = 5\cdot 2^{x-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

On the first day we have 5 bacteria.

On the second day we will have 5*2 = 10 bacteria.

On the third day we will have 10*2 = 5*2*2 = 5*2^2 = 20 bacteria.

On the fourth day we will have 20*2 = 5*2*2*2 = 5*2^3 = 40 bacteria.

We can see that

                                                f(x) = 5\cdot 2^{x-1},

where x is a number of days and f(x) gives us the number of bacteria.
