Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. the temperature of the gaseous planet varies linearly with the height of the atmosphere as measured from the top of a visible boundary layer. the instruments on board can withstand a temperature of 601 k. at what altitude will the probe's instruments fail?

7. see worksheet 1 for values of variables x1, x2 and x3 and answer the following questions: a. for each variable find the mean, median, coefficient of skewness, range and population standard deviation. b. compared to variable x1, how are the mean and median affected by extreme values (outliers) seen in x2 and x3. c. is the median or mean the better measure of location for x2 and x3? explain. d. explain the differences in the magnitudes of the skewness coefficients for the three variables. e. what is the relationship between the range and standard deviation looking across the three variables?
