Will medal and fan not to hard!!!! I just need someone to help me understand these instructions

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

Heres the instructions in order

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

i dont understand them

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

hey photon sorry for the reading

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

for the first question, it's pointing out that the graph is misleading

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

by starting the y-axis at something other than 0 AND making the intervals smaller, it makes small differences look bigger

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

with me so far?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

yeah i am

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, so the first question is asking how we can change the graph to correct these errors

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

@Mertsj would you mind taking care of the troll?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

y6uuy7jhuyjh really we see the trol face just leave

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

Ok so what it wants me to do sofar is with these graphs fix them?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

well, all we have to do is fix the mistakes I pointed out

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

we have to start the y-axis at 0

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

OR we can use a line break like this

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

ok well that sounds pretty easy i dont know why its so hard for me to understand directions sorry

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

|dw:1465436230634:dw|

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

im still with you btw

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

naah, it's ok

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

that's pretty much it for the first question

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

ok cool

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

if i block him do i still see his messages in this?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

also im gonna solve the first one brb

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yeah unfortunately his messages still show up

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

i'll just send a note to the mods

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

oh well there still ignore them and ok

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so, pages 1 2 and 3 of your list cover what I just said

OpenStudy (mertsj):

He's gone.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

thanks ^^

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

Ok and thanks @Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You're welcome.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so for the mean/medians question

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

sorry what? i was doing the question what do you mean??

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

like asking for answer to it?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

oh well are you still on the graph question?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

yeah sorry

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

the answer would just be something like: "redraw the y-axis so that it starts at 0, and use larger intervals"

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

oh well cool i was literately making a presentation creating the graph and all buuut thats easier lol

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yeah

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so you attached 4 images the first 3 images are done now

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

like, image 1 just asks that question we answered, and images 2 and 3 just explain what I said before

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

cool but am i supposed like answer that and just say that or is it saying i have to create a misleading graph and fix it? thats the last bit i dont understand but its ok ill figure it out tommarow with my teacher THANKS!!

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

oh your back lol you were gon for ages

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

gone*

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

it's asking about the movie ticket graph, so i don't think you have to make a new graph

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

i mean

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

ok cool wait so is it asking me to solve it a dif way than it showed?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

i guess you could

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

like, the example they showed used intervals of 1 dollar you could use like 50 cents or something

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

ok well thanks!

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

sure

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

ready to move to the next question?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

sure

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so, it's asking about mean, median, and mode

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

and which one is the most affected by outliers

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

any ideas which one?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

ok im dumb ik but what do you mean which one is the most affected by outliers

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

like

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

let's say we have a set of data

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

and we calculate the mean, median, and mode

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

then we add an outlier to the data

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

the median, mean, and mode will all change

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

but which one do you think will change the most?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

ohhh ok well im gonna try not to guess lol let me try to solve it

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

well, you can give it a try if you want

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

let's use the numbers in the problem

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

ok

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

let's say her scores are: 75, 75, and 78 what are the mean, median, and mode?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

hold on let me do it i get them mixed up let me look at definitions

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

sure

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

medain 75

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

mode 75

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

mean 76?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

great

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

now let's add the outlier

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

do the same thing, except use these numbers instead 75, 75, and 78 and 92

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

calculate mean meadian and mode but add 92 basically?

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

also if thats wright how do you find the outlier and im sorry i should probably know

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

92 is our outlier because it's a lot bigger than the others

OpenStudy (questionaskerduh1243):

oh ok
