An insurance firm reported that "the typical water-skiing accident occurs near the dock from which they start." Which of the following statistical measurements are they most likely discussing? A. mode B. range C. mean D. median

The correct option is;

B. Range

Step-by-step explanation:

In descriptive statistics which analyses the quantitative summary of the statistical data, the range is the region or area or the statistical interval where the data is obtained from and as such the range (in descriptive statistics) gives a guide to the dispersion of the statistical information.

The range is best suited for the representation of the dispersion when the size of the data set is small.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

the answer is 128
