Answer 9

Answer 10

mode is the number that comes up most often

Answer 11

mode is the most repeated number within the set they gave you

19,1,17,19,3,20,5,2

hahahaa.true

Answer 19

how do i find the median?

Answer 20

12,8,5,6,1,10,13,11

Answer 21

also, there can be more than one mode for instance if there was 17,17,19,21,21 it would be 17 and 21.

Answer 22

oh good to know

Answer 23

the median is solved by putting the numbers in order from least to greatest and then finding the middle number

Answer 24

if theres an even amount of numbers, then find the mean of the two middle numbers.

Answer 25

so 1, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 so 9?

Answer 26

yes 9 is right :)

Answer 38

yeah haha i was just writing them down haha anyways yeah it does get easier but i just started a darn algebra class and i really have NO math experience

Answer 39

how do i find out which of the following relations is a function

Answer 40

um.. i think you have to look at if its a parabola like this kind of.. but not all crooked like mine :D

Answer 41

idk thats what i remember but also it has to start with f(x) and the x can be any variable

Answer 42

{(1,2), (1,3), (2,8), (3, 9)}
{(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}
{(3,-1), (2,3), (3,4), (1,7)}
{(3,0), (4, -3), (6,7), (4,4)}

Answer 43

let me look at that one second. lol this discussion is really long

Answer 44

is is one of those as an answer so im confused

Answer 45

its asking which of the following relations is a function out of the ones i put up

Answer 46

yeah i know that and i looked up what a function is and its a rule that takes x and turns it into y like f(x) = y+2

Answer 47

wait i just remembered how to do it

Answer 48

oh ok weird

Answer 49

looks like its the 2nd one

Answer 50

{(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}

Answer 51

how can you tell?

Answer 52

just cause its in order is that why?

Answer 53

because the formula would be y = x + 1 and each pair follows the formula.. not because its in order though. (BTW, can you fan me?)

Answer 54

yes

Answer 55

k my 2nd fan.. and do you understand what i said about the pairs?

Answer 56

not really because im looking at another problem and it wouldnt be x + 1 the sets skips numbers too much ya know or is it different for each one

Answer 57

A. { (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 2), (3, 6) }
B. { (2, 8), (3, 6), (2, 4), (0, 2)
}C. { (3, -2), (4, 7), (-2, 5), (-4, 5) }
D. { (4, 7), (-2, 5), (1, 3), (-2, 1) }

Answer 58

its different for each one you have to look at the pattern

Answer 59

i would assume C at first glance but not sure yet ahah

Answer 60

for that one it isnt A thats for sure

Answer 61

yeah i see thats way off
