Approach Analysis
Reframing the question helps set up the comparison: we’re asking which statistic an outlier will sway the most in a data set.
Option content available: 'Mean'. Although no other options are presented here, we can still compare the typical statistics commonly used to summarize data.
First, consider the mean: it is the arithmetic average of all values, so each data point contributes equally to the final......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers

A histogram for a sample of 200 home prices in a rural community shows that the distribution is nearly symmetric and has a single peak, except for 4 extremely large values that are at least $80,000 greater than the next lowest price. If it is decided to drop those 4 values from the data, which of the following would be impacted the most?
Question text The students below each construct a sinusoidal function based on a shared scenario involving water level fluctuations.Match each student’s reasoning to the explanation that best fits their thinking. Scenario:The depth of water , in metres, at a canal dock fluctuates due to the system of canal locks lowering and raising the water for container ships. The water varies sinusoidally from a minimum of 1.5 m to a maximum of 4.5 m. The depth reaches its minimum at 5:00 AM, and one full cycle of the water level is completed every 4 hours. The horizontal axis represents time , in hours, where corresponds to midnight. Student 1:I was asked to find the water depth at 3 AM.The equation I created was Since the minimum occurs at 5:00 AM, I shifted the function by 5.Using this function, I found the depth at 3 AM was 1.5 m.Answer 1 Question 22[select: , All parameters are correct. Therefore, the initial evaluation is correct, and the correct depth at 3 AM is 1.5 m. , All parameters are correct except the phase shift: there should be a phase shift of -5. Therefore, the initial evaluation is incorrect; using the new equation, the correct depth at 3 AM is 4.5 m. , All parameters are correct except the k-value: the k-value should be pi/4. The initial evaluation is still correct; the depth at 3 AM is 1.5 m.] Student 2:I was asked to find the water depth at 6 AM.The equation I created was I chose sine because the water starts rising after its lowest point.Using my equation, I found the depth at 6 AM was 3 m.Answer 2 Question 22[select: , All parameters are correct except for the amplitude, which should be negative. The initial evaluation is still correct; the depth at 6 AM is 3 m., All parameters are except the phase shift: there should be a phase shift of -5. Therefore, the initial evaluation is incorrect; using the new equation, the correct depth at 6 AM is 4.1 m., All parameters are correct except the k-value; the k-value should be pi/2. The initial evaluation is still correct; the depth at 6 AM is 3 m. ] Student 3:I was asked to find the water depth at 1 PM.The equation I created was Since the minimum occurs at 5:00 AM, I used a cosine function with a shift to match the point.I found the depth at 1 PM to be 4.5 m.Answer 3 Question 22[select: , All parameters are correct except the k-value; the correct k-value is pi/4. The initial evaluation is still correct; the depth at 1 PM is 4.5 m., All parameters are correct except for the phase shift; there should be a phase shift of -3. Therefore, the initial evaluation is incorrect; using the new equation, the correct depth at 1 PM is 1.5 m.. , All parameters are correct and the student’s evaluation of the depth was correct; the depth at 1 PM is 4.5 m.]
