The first quartile of the dataset {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is 2.

Given data set: {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Median of the given data set =3.5

The data set can be split into 2 parts as, {1,2,3} and {4,5,6}. The first quartile is calculated by simply finding the median of the first part of the data set.

Thus, the first quartile is 2.

The quarter divides the distribution into four groups and calculates the range of values above and below the mean.

A quartile separates the dataset into four categories by dividing the data into three points: the lowest, median, and upper quartiles.

The interquartile range, a measurement of variation around the median, is calculated using quartiles.

Answer:

18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is the time,

and T is the half life.

A = 140 when t = 10. Solve for the half life:

140 = 700 (½)^(10 / T)

0.2 = ½^(10 / T)

log 0.2 = (10 / T) log 0.5

10 / T = 2.32

T = 4.31

When A = 40, t is:

40 = 700 (½)^(t / 4.31)

0.057 = ½^(t / 4.31)

log 0.057 = (t / 4.31) log 0.5

t / 4.31 = 4.13

t = 17.8

Rounded to the nearest whole number, it takes 18 minutes.

Lemur [1.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.

The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.

Method 1:

Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: $y=\alpha +\beta x+e$
