8. You have seen the mean used as an average or balancing point of data, and the median a differ- used as the center of a list of data. The physical balancing point of a geometric shape is actually located at the intersections of its medians, although the word has ent meaning in this context than the way we used it in this section. The median of a triangle is a line segment that connects a vertex (the intersectio point of two sides) with the midpoint of the side opposite it. a. For each of the following objects, find the balancing point. The balancing point is the point under which you could place a pencil tip and the shape would be perfectly horizontal and balanced Once you find the balancing point of the object, give a general description of its location so that someone else could locate the balancing point on a similar shape.

The statistics prompt states "The average amount of sleep people get throughout the week in hours. You’ve collected data from 6 people." I need to know how I would input this data into SPSS, or at least what kind of graph it would be so I can try to break it down. Thank you.
The boxplot shown below results from the heights (cm) of males listed in a data set. What do the numbers in that boxplot tell us? 151 172.5 192 168.5 182.6 A boxplot consists of a box that extends from 168.5 to 182.6, a vertical line segment drawn through the box at 172.5, and a horizontal line segment extending from a vertical line segment at 151 to a vertical line segment at 192 that bisects the box. Question content area bottom Part 1 The minimum height is enter your response here cm, the first quartile Q1 is enter your response here cm, the second quartile Q2 (or the median) is enter your response here cm, the third quartile Q3 is enter your response here cm, and the maximum height is enter your response here cm.

The table pertains to scheduled commercial carriers. Fatalities data include those on the ground except for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Use this information given in the table. For fatalities the mean an = 66.7 the median = 14.5 and the mode = 2 2. The year 2001 was clearly an anomaly. If the data for that year is reduced by 239 fatalities, which of the three measures change and what are their new values for each of the following? please help:(
