outliers
A value that "lies outside" (is much smaller or larger than) most of the other values in a set of data.
range
The difference between the lowest and highest values.
In {4, 6, 9, 3, 7} the lowest value is 3, and the highest is 9, so the range is 9-3 = 6.
In {4, 6, 9, 3, 7} the lowest value is 3, and the highest is 9, so the range is 9-3 = 6.
mode
The mode is the number that is repeated more often than any other
median
- The median is the middle value, so I'll have to rewrite the list in order:
- 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 16, 18, 21
- 13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 16, 18, 21
mean
- The mean is the usual average, so: (13 + 18 + 13 + 14 + 13 + 16 + 14 + 21 + 13) ÷ 9 = 15

numerical coefficient
numerical coefficient-a number that multiply the variable
e.g. 2t
2 = numerical coefficient
t= variable
constant
constant- a number that does not change and it increases or decreases the value of an expression
value
value -a known or calculated amount
variables
variable- a letter that represent an unknown number
e.g.
5,n,8t,x + 1, 2y - 7
how to add mixed fractions with unlike denominator
1 4/5 + 1 2/3
1 find the lowest common multiple 5,10,15 3,6,9,12,15
2 multiply 4x3=12 2x5=10
3 add the whole numbers 1+1=2
4 combine 12/15+ 10/15= 22/15=1 7/15
1+1+1=3
3 7/15

common factors of 12 and 16
factors of 12
1x12 the common factors of 12 and 16 is 1,2,4
2x6
3x4 16 is 8 and 16
both IS 1,2 and 4
factors of 16 12 is 6,3 and 12
factors of 16 12 is 6,3 and 12
1x16
2x8
4x4
divisibility rule for 2
divisibility rule for 2
all even numbers are divisible by 2
even numbers end in 0,2,4,6,8
adding and subtracting like denominators
add the numerator then keep the same number of the numerator
for example
6/12+2/12=8/12
math
