Determine whether each statement is true or false.
___________ 1. A set of data has just one mean and just one median, but it can has e more than one mode. [7.3b, c, d]

To check: Whether the statement “A set of data has just one mean and just one median, but it can have more than one mode” is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1MC
The statement “A set of data has just one mean and just one median, but it can have more than one mode” is True.
Explanation of Solution
Mode: The mode of a set of data is the number or numbers that occur most often. If each number occurs the same number of times, there is no mode.
It is known that mean is the average of all the given numbers whereas the median is the middle number of the data.
So, there will be only one mean and median for the given data.
From the definition of mode, it is noted that there can be more than one mode for a given set of data.
Therefore, the given statement is True.

- Consider a forest where the population of a particular plant species grows exponentially. In a real-world scenario, we often deal with systems where the analytical function describing the phenomenon is not available. In such cases, numerical methods come in handy. For the sake of this task, however, you are provided with an analytical function so that you can compare the results of the numerical methods to some ground truth. The population P(t) of the plants at time t (in years) is given by the equation: P(t) = 200 0.03 t You are tasked with estimating the rate of change of the plant population at t = 5 years using numerical differentiation methods. First, compute the value of P'(t) at t = 5 analytically. Then, estimate P'(t) at t = 5 years using the following numerical differentiation methods: ⚫ forward difference method (2nd-order accurate) 3 ⚫ backward difference method (2nd-order accurate) ⚫ central difference method (2nd-order accurate) Use h = 0.5 as the step size and round all…arrow_forwardQ/ By using polar Coordinates show that the system below has a limit cycle and show the stability of + his limit cycle: X² = x + x(x² + y² -1) y* = −x + y (x² + y²-1) -xarrow_forwardxy Q/Given H (X,Y) = ex-XX+1 be a first integral find the corresponding system and study the Stability of of critical point of this system.arrow_forward
