Good luck :)
To represent a gain of 3 yards, we can use the integer +3.
To represent a gain of 3 yards, we can use the integer +3. In mathematics, when we refer to a gain or increase, we use a positive sign (+) in front of the number. So, in this case, the integer +3 represents a gain of 3 yards.

Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
factors of 20 = 1 2 4 5 10 20
factors of 40 = 1 2 4 5 8 20 10
therefore 20 is the greatest common
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that is true for the nth case and prove it for the n+1 case
and show that it is true for the case when n=1
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's say that our fraction is x.
x=0.5555555...
Let's get rid of the repeating stuff. If you multiplied x by 10, the fraction would be equal to 5.5555555.....
x=0.55555555....
10x=5.5555555.....
What if we subtracted the first equation from the second? Then all of the repeating stuff would be gone!
9x=5
We divide both sides by 9.
x=5/9.
Have a wonderful day! :D
into smaller rocks for $10 a day. There are 999 other
employees on the island, 998 of whom get paid the same
way you do. The last employee is your overseer, who is
paid $10 million per year.
What is the mean and median income for
workers on Super Happy Fun Island?
Which method of describing central tendency
better represents this data? Why?
Answers:
mean annual income = $13,646.35
median annual income = $3,650
The median is a better measure of center
=======================================================
Explanation:
If you earn $10 a day, and do so for 365 days, then you earn 365*10 = 3650 dollars per year.
If there are 999 employees earning this amount, then the amount earned is 999*3650 = 3,646,350
Add on the 10,000,000 to get
10,000,000+3,646,350 = 13,646,350
The total amount earned is $13,646,350
Divide this over the 1000 people (999 workers + 1 boss)
We get: (13,646,350)/(1,000) = 13,646.35
The mean is annual income is $13,646.35
--------------------------------
The median is the middle most value. If you list out the pay amounts of just the workers, you'll get the list:
{3650, 3650, 3650, ..., 3650}
We will have 999 copies of 3650 listed out. You don't have to list all 999 of them. Just a few is a good start. The three dots indicate the pattern goes on until we reach the 999th item.
If we then tack on the overseer's pay, then we have the list
{3650, 3650, 3650, ..., 3650, 10 million}
I'm using "million" instead of the digits to avoid using commas here.
The middle won't change due to one item being tacked onto the end. The middle is going to be 3650 either due to it being part of the set, or we find the midpoint between 3650 and 3650, which averages out to 3650.
The median income is $3,650
-----------------------------------
The median income is the better measure of center because it represents where the workers are instead of some distant "midpoint" between the workers and the boss. No person is making $13,646.35 a year. They are either making $3,650 or they are making $10,000,000. There's nothing in between. So it's better go lean toward the larger group when deciding where the center should go. Think of it like a balance beam or a see-saw.
As you can see the median is not affected by outliers. We can change the "ten million" to something like "a hundred million" and the median would still be the same. I recommend you compute the mean if the overseer earns 100 million dollars, and you'll find the mean will increase dramatically. However, the median will stay where it's at. The only time the median will change is if we introduce elements that are somewhere around (either higher or lower) than 3650, and these values are close to 3650. But this won't change the center very much compared to the drastic changes the mean undergoes due to such a large outlier.
The general rule of thumb is: a large outlier to the right pulls the mean to the right. An outlier to the left pulls the mean to the left. In this case, the mean is pulled to the right. The data is skewed to the right (or positively skewed).
So again, the conclusion is that the median is the better measure of center.
