Robert is using the following data samples to make a claim about the house values in his neighborhood:House Value
A $250,000
B $275,000
C $300,000
D $267,000
E $250,000


Based on the data, should Robert use the mean or the median to make an inference about the house values in his neighborhood?
He should use the mean because it is in the center of the data.
He should use the median because it is in the center of the data.
He should use the median because there is an outlier that affects the mean.
He should use the mean because there are no outliers that affect the mean.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Both mean and median are measures of the center of a set of data.
Mean is normally preffered to the median except if there is an outlier that has a tendency to affect the mean.
An outlier is a data point that significantly differs from the other data points in a sample.
In the data set above, there is no outlier that will affect the mean.
Therefore, he should use the mean because there are no outliers that affect the mean.

Every equation that has an ' x² ' in it has two solutions.

If it's a perfect square, then the solutions are equal, and they look like only 1.

Both solutions to this equation are [ x = 4 ] .

There is a box. The area of its top is 240 square units, the area of the front is 300 square units and the area of the end is 180 square units.Can you calculate the dimensions of this box with the given data?

Answers

Let the three sides of the box be P, Q and R.

Now we know the area of rectangle is l* b.

P * Q = 240
P * R = 300
Q * R = 180

Let us multiply these three equations:
(P*Q) (P*R) (R*S) = 240 * 300 * 180
P^2 * Q ^2 * R^2 = 12960000
(P*Q*R)^2 = 12960000
P*Q*R = 3600

Now we know that P*Q = 240

Thus R = 3600/240 = 15.

Similarly putting and solving for other variables, we get
P = 20 units
Q = 12 units
R = 15 units
