    The Intervals are always located on the ___ axis.

    Explanation
    The intervals are always located on the x-axis. This is because the x-axis represents the horizontal axis in a Cartesian coordinate system, where the x-coordinate determines the position of a point or interval along the horizontal axis. Therefore, when referring to intervals, it is understood that they are positioned on the x-axis.

    Jim Shorts is a star basketball player for the Arlington High School basketball team. The number of points scored by Jim in each of his last 20 games is as follows:    35, 28, 25, 34, 41, 26, 19, 23, 32, 20, 11, 8, 38, 48, 22, 25, 16, 19, 22, 40  What is the MEAN of this data?   

    Explanation
    The mean of a set of data is calculated by summing all the values and then dividing by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of all the points scored by Jim in his last 20 games is 532. Dividing this sum by 20 (the total number of games) gives us a mean of 26.6.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The Frequency is always on the ___ axis.

    Explanation
    The frequency is always on the y-axis. In a graph, the y-axis represents the dependent variable or the variable being measured or observed. Therefore, the frequency, which is a measure of how often something occurs, is plotted on the y-axis. The x-axis, on the other hand, represents the independent variable or the variable that is manipulated or controlled.

    What is an Outlier?

    • A synonym

    • A translation

    • Something like a factor

    • Something that does not belong.

    Correct Answer
    A. Something that does not belong.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Something that does not belong." An outlier refers to a data point that is significantly different from other data points in a dataset. It is an observation that falls outside the expected range and does not conform to the pattern or behavior of the rest of the data. Outliers can be caused by various factors such as measurement errors, data entry mistakes, or genuine rare events. Identifying and analyzing outliers is important in statistics and data analysis as they can greatly impact the results and conclusions drawn from the data.

    Evaluate the expression: PEMDAS! 24÷6x2

    Correct Answer
    2
    Explanation
    The given expression involves the concept of order of operations, which is represented by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right). According to this rule, we first evaluate any multiplication or division from left to right before moving on to addition or subtraction. In this case, we divide 24 by 6 to get 4, and then multiply it by 2 to get the final answer of 8. Therefore, the given answer of 2 is incorrect.
