Answer: B. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the median of the data set. This set has an even number of points, so find the average between the two middle points: 18 and 19. 18+19 = 37. 37/2 = 18.5. The median is 18.5.

Now, to find the lower quartile, find the median of the lower half of the data set {11, 12, 14, 15, 18}. The number in the middle is 14. The lower quartile is 14.

To find the upper quartile, find the median of the upper half of the data set {19, 21, 23, 25, 55}. The number in the middle is 23. The upper quartile is 23.

To find the interquartile range, subtract the lower quartile from the upper quartile. 23-14 = 9. The interquartile range is 9.

The point nearest to the origin on a line is at (4, -4). Find the standard form of the equation of the line.

Scrat [10]

Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.

The point nearest the origin is (a,b).

The line from the origin through the point is

$bx - ay = 0$

The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):

$ax + by = a^2 + b^2$
