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.

Solve the equation 5x + (−2) = 6x + 4 using the algebra tiles. What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the smaller x

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) Adding -5x on both sides of the equation to remove the smaller x-coefficient

b) Adding -4 on both sides will remove the constant from the right side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

5x + (−2) = 6x + 4

a) What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the smaller x-coefficient?

Smaller x-coefficient is 5x to remove the smaller x-coefficient

So, Adding -5x on both sides of the equation to remove the smaller x-coefficient

b) What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the constant from the right side of the equation?

the constant on right side is 4

Adding -4 on both sides will remove the constant from the right side of the equation

Kruka [31]

Answer:

t(d) = 0.01cos(5π(d-0.3)/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the location of a maximum, it is convenient to use a cosine function to model the torque. The horizontal offset of the function will be 0.3 m, and the horizontal scaling will be such that one period is 1.2 m. The amplitude is given as 0.01 Nm.

The general form is ...

torque = amplitude × cos(2π(d -horizontal offset)/(horizontal scale factor))

We note that 2π/1.2 = 5π/3. Filling in the given values, we have ...

t(d) = 0.01·cos(5(d -0.3)/3)
