<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.

You unfold chicken wire to make a circular pen. The area of the pen is 78.5 square meters. How many meters of chicken wire do yo
Lelu [443]
Circular pen means you are going to use Area = Pi(r^2). 

So 78.5 = pi(r^2). Divide by pi on both sides to get r^2 = 78.5/pi. Take the square root of that to get r or radius = approximately 4.99. If you need an exact answer then use \sqrt{ \frac{78.5}{ \pi } } for the next part because you are not done yet.

Plug whatever R you use into the circumference formula of Circumference = 2(pi)(r).

If you use 4.99, you do 2(pi)(4.99) which is approximately 31.35. If you use the exact answer, you do 2(pi)(\sqrt{ \frac{78.5}{ \pi} }) which gives you approximately 31.41. 

Either way you'll need about 31 meters of chicken wire but the 31.40796 or ~31.41 is closer to the exact answer.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2400 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler asks for a fish tank for his birthday. The task he wants is a rectangular prism 20 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 12 inches tall. How much water will the fish tank hold?

the capacity of the tank can be determined by calculating the volume of the tank

volume of a prism = length x width x height

20 x 10 x 12 = 2400 in^3

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs have lengths 4 and 8
Irina18 [472]
Ya gotta use the Pythagorean theorem :)

a² + b² = c²      (reminder: c is the hypotenuse)

4² + 8² = c²

16 + 64 = 80

√80 = 8.94

H = 8.94

Multiple choice question please answer it for me
timofeeve [1]
The answer is the second choice, or B; 240 ft^2.

You have to find the area of all four triangles and just add those all together. 

Two of the triangles have an area of 
5*16=80
Multiply that by two
80*2=160

The other two smaller triangles have an area of 
8*5=40
Multiply that by 2 also
40*2=80

Add 160+80 and the answer is 240.
