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.

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at
sergij07 [2.7K]
Number of stocks held = 30
Price at which each shares of Lofty Cheese Company bought = 20 1/4
                                                                                                 = (81/4) dollars
Price at which each shares of Lofty Cheese Company sold = 25 1/4
                                                                                             = (101/4) dollars
Amount of profit made per share of Lofty Cheese Company = [(101/4 - (81/4)] dollars
                                                                                                 = (20/4) dollars
                                                                                                 = 5 dollars
Amount of profit made for 30 shares of Lofty Cheese Company = (30 * 5) dollars
                                                                                                       = 150 dollars.
So you will make a profit of $150.The correct option in regards to the question given is option "C".

The finances of a group of pet owners were analyzed to determine how much they were spending on their pet(s) each year. A graph
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given graph x-axis represents the number of owners and y-axis represents yearly cost of pets, in hundreds.

It is given that the graph passes through the points (1,15), (3,7) and (10,0).

We need to check whether (4.5, 6) is a realistic solution for the function or not. (4.5,6) point represents

Number of owners = 4.5

yearly cost of pets = 6

It is realistic that owners spend $600 a year on their pet(s).

Number of owners can not be a fraction value. So, it is not realistic to have 4.5 owners.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Explain whether 13t−3t is equivalent to 3t−13t. Support your answer by evaluating the expressions for t=2.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

  • Not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 13t - 3t = (13 - 3)t = 10t
  • 3t - 13t = (3 - 13)t = -10t
  • 10t ≠ -10t

They are not equivalent

<u>When t = 2</u>

  • 13t - 3t = 13*2 - 3*2 = 26 - 6 = 20
  • 3t - 13t = 3*2 - 13*2 = 6 - 26 = -20
