The average number of emails received each day by two groups of people is shown below: Group A: 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4 Group B: 4, 2, 200, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 3 Which statement best describes the mean and median of the data shown above? The median number of emails received by people of group A is higher because of the absence of an outlier. The median number of emails received by people of group B is higher because of the presence of an outlier. The mean number of emails received by people of group B is higher because of the presence of an outlier.<<<<I chose this The mean number of emails received by people of group A is higher because of the absence of an outlier.

Am I correct?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

One moment...

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I am pretty sure you're correct :)

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

The outlier is 200 for Group B so it would increase the average, compared to the average of the data sets from Group A.

Alright, thanks. Check one more question for a fan?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Once again, will try...

Alright, thanks. A film set designer is using white and colored tiles in a pattern to create paths of different lengths. If x is the length of the path in feet, the number of colored tiles needed to make it is calculated using the rule (4x2y3)(3x2y2) where y represents the number of white tiles. Which simplified expression represents the number of colored tiles used for a path of length x feet? 7x4y5 7x4y6 12x4y5 <<My answer 12x4y6

This is a bit of a hard question for me, but I will try. Okay some people might choose D, why did you choose C instead? (I am not sure which one is right or wrong, but I am weighing my options after you tell me your method.)

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

I think I understand now. I feel like your answer is correct :)

Alright, thank you so much for your help!
