  • 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.

A flower bed contains 52 roses and 48 tulips. Two flowers have wilted, what is the probability that the flower is a tulip.
Sergio [31]
First, I add 52 to 48 to get the total amount of flowers.  52 + 48 = 100.  Out of those 100, there are 48 tulips.  If one flower wilted, the probability of it being a tulip would be 48/100, or 0.48.  If a second flower wilted (with only 99 flowers left, and only 47 tulips left), the probability of it being a tulip is 47/99 or 0.474747...  To get the probability of both of those being tulips, multiply the two together.  48/100 * 47/99 = 2256/9900 (then, simplify to 376/1650)

I hope this helps! Can I have Brainliest? :)

Tuition for one year at the community college Sean would like to attend is about $8,880. Sean plans to save money each month for
REY [17]

First make an equation then solve for the variable.

8,800 is the end goal so that is what it is going to equal

Since his parents are contribuating 6,000 we can add that as a constant

Now it says in 2 years but it askes us in months so we times 2 by 12 to get 24 months he will be saving.

Now it is asking us how much he should save per month be we don't know that so that is our variable.

8,800 = 24x + 6,000

Solve

8,800 - 6,000 = 24x

2800/24 = x

116.67 = x (rounded for currency)

Sean would have to save $116.67 a month in order to pay for the community college
