Here are 10 test scores: 30, 74, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 80, 82, 84. The mean of these scores is 74. Does this set have an outlier and, if so, how does removing it affect the mean? A. This data set has no outliers. B. The set has 30 as an outlier and removing it decreases the mean by about 5. C. The set has 30 as an outlier and removing it decreases the mean by about 10. D. The set has 30 as an outlier and removing it increases the mean by about 5.

oh lol

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

haha so what we need to do to determine if there is an outlier, you need to find the average of the 10 scores.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

74?

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

There is no outlier lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

no because it is only too much by .4 and they probably rounded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the answer is d because without thirty the average would be 78.8

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

I'm confused.....I added them all together to get 744 and then when I divided by 10 I got 74.4 so that doesn't work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and without it it increases the mean by 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was right lol

If x can be any number, how many solutions are there for the equation? y = 3x – 1 A. There is only one solution because all equations have one solution. B. There is no solution because there are no values for the variables that make the equation true. C. There are many solutions because there are many values for the variables that make the equation true. D. There are two solutions because there are two variables in the equation.

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

I am not able to process math right now lol sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation is y=3x-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx anyways lol

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

:) sorry!
