<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • Range = 12.5
  • Interquartile Range (IQR) = 7
  • Interpretation: Both determine how spread out the data set is. The larger the value, the more spread out. The range handles the entire set, while the IQR only focuses on the middle 50% of the data.
  • There are <u>no</u> outliers.

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

Further explanation:

When going from smallest to largest, the data set sorts to

{23.5, 24, 25, 27, 29.25, 30.75, 31.25, 32, 33.5, 36}

The range is the difference of the smallest and largest items.

range = max - min

range = 36 - 23.5

range = 12.5

This is the gap between the smallest and largest values. It helps tell us how spread out the data set is. The larger the range, the more spread out the data set will be.

----------------

There are n = 10 items in the data set.

The median is between slot 5 and 6 because n/2 = 10/2 = 5

The values in slots 5 and 6 are 29.25 and 30.75 in that order.

The midpoint of them is (29.25+30.75)/2 = 30 which is the median

Next, we'll form two smaller subsets L and U

L = lower subset of items below the median

L = {23.5, 24, 25, 27, 29.25}

U = upper subset of items above the median

U = {30.75, 31.25, 32, 33.5, 36}

The medians of sets L and U are 25 and 32 respectively. These are the Q1 and Q3 values

Q1 = first quartile = 25

Q3 = third quartile = 32

IQR = interquartile range

IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 32 - 25

IQR = 7

The interquartile range is 7. It also tells us how spread out the data set is, but it only focuses on the middle 50% of the data.

----------------

Now let's compute the lower fence (LF) and upper fence (UF). This will be helpful to see if we have any outliers.

We'll start with LF

LF = Q1 - 1.5*IQR

LF = 25 - 1.5*7

LF = 14.5

Is any value smaller than LF? The answer is no because the 23.5 is the min. We don't have any small outliers.

We'll need the upper fence UF as well

UF = Q3 + 1.5*IQR

UF = 32 + 1.5*7

UF = 42.5

Is any value above this upper fence? The answer is no because 36 is the max. We don't have any large outliers.

Every value in the data set is between LF = 14.5 and UF = 42.5; therefore, there are <u>no</u> outliers.

88 feet/second = 60 miles/hour. How many feet per second is 1 mile? (Hint: divide both side of the equation by the same amount.)
zalisa [80]

Answer:

1 mile/hour is equivalent to 1.47 feet/seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

88 ft/s= 60 miles/hr

Required

Determine the equivalent of 1 mile/hour

88\ ft/s= 60\ miles/hr

Express 60 as 60 * 1

88\ ft/s= 60 * 1\ mile/hr

Divide both sides by 60

\frac{88\ ft/s}{60}= \frac{60 * 1\ mile/hr}{60}

\frac{88\ ft/s}{60}= 1\ mile/hr

Reorder

1\ mile/hr = \frac{88\ ft/s}{60}

Divide 88 by 60

1\ mile/hr = 1.46666666667\ ft/s

Approximate to 3 significant figures

1\ mile/hr = 1.47\ ft/s

Hence;

1 mile/hour is equivalent to 1.47 feet/seconds

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary
jeka94

Danielle earned $979.75 last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Base salary = $625 per week

Commission = 8.25%

Cost of items sold = $4300

Amount of commission = 8.25\% \of \cost\ of\ sold\ items

Amount\ of\ commission=\frac{8.25}{100}*4300\\Amount\ of\ commission=\frac{35475}{100}\\Amount\ of\ commission=\$354.75

Total earning last week = Base salary per week + amount of commission

Total\ earning = 625+354.75\\Total\ earning=\$979.75

Danielle earned $979.75 last week.

Find the equation of a line that goes through the points (8, -9) and (-4, 15).
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 15)

m = \frac{15+9}{-4-8} = \frac{24}{-12} = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (8, - 9), then

- 9 = - 16 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 16 = 7

y = - 2x + 7 ← equation of line
