MATH 120 AMU Quiz 2 question 2
question In this problem, we explore the effect on the mean, median, and mode of adding the same number to each data value. Consider the data set 2, 2, 3, 6, 10.
(a) Compute the mode, median, and mean. (For each answer, enter a number.)
mode
median
mean
(b) Add 3 to each of the data values. Compute the mode, median, and mean. (For each answer, enter a number.)
mode
median
mean
(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b). In general, how do you think the mode, median, and mean are affected when the same constant is added to each data value in a set?
Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the mode, median, and mean increasing by c units.
Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the mode, median, and mean decreasing by c units.
Adding the same constant c to each data value results in the mode, median, and mean remaining the same.
There is no distinct pattern when the same constant is added to each data value in a set.

low
Q1
median
Q3

(b) Find the interquartile range. (Enter a number.)
(c) Make a box-and-whisker plot. (Select the correct graph.)
MATH 120 AMU Quiz 2 question 8
How much should a healthy Shetland pony weigh? Let x be the age of the pony (in months), and let y be the average weight of the pony (in kilograms).
x 3 6 12 20 24
y 60 95 140 170 189
(a) Make a scatter diagram of the data and visualize the line you think best fits the data. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.)
(b) Would you say the correlation is low, moderate, or strong?
low
moderate
strong
Would you say the correlation is positive or negative?
positive
negative
(c) Use a calculator to verify that Σ(x) = 65, Σ(x2) = 1165, Σ(y) = 654, Σ(y2) = 96,846, and Σ(x y) = 10,366.
Compute r. (Enter a number. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
As x increases from 3 to 24 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? Explain your answer.
Given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases.
Given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases.
Given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
Given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases.
