The graph shows the number of pages in each chapter of a book that Josh is reading. A number line going from 2 to 28. 1 dot is above 2. 0 dots are above 4. 0 dots are above 6. 0 dots are above 8. 2 dots are above 10. 0 dots are above 12. 3 dots are above 14. 2 dots are above 16. 1 dot is above 18. 2 dots are above 20. 2. dots are above 22. 0 dots are above 24. 1 dot is above 16. 0 dots are above 28. Which statement is true about the effect of the 2-page introduction chapter? The outlier of 2 increases the median page count. The outlier of 2 increases the mean page count. The outlier of 2 decreases the median page count. The outlier of 2 decreases the mean page count.

The outlier of 2 decreases the mean page count.

Step-by-step explanation:

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

answer:

your answer is: c. 196 7/8 in^3.
