Explain when the median of a data set is a better
measure of center than the mean.

explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

2^y = ln 5, or   y(ln 2) = ln 5.   solving for y,   y = (ln 5) / (ln 2).   y=5

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
