Answer:

22.8 and 37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the

The weights (in pounds) of 18 preschool children are

32, 20, 25, 27, 31, 22, 30, 23, 44, 37, 33, 45, 41, 24, 34, 21, 39, 29

To find its 20th percentile and 75th percentile.

In ascending order we get like this

Position  X (Asc. Order)

1  20

2  21

3  22

4  23

5  24

6  25

7  27

8  29

9  30

10  31

11  32

12  33

13  34

14  37

15  39

16  41

17  44

18  45

Percentile position = (no of entries +1)20/100 = 19/5 = 3.8

Since posiiton is not integer we use interpolation method.

The value of 3.8 - 3 = 0.8 corresponds to the proportion of the distance between 22 and 23 where the percentile we are looking for is located at.

Hence 20th percentile = 22+0.8(23-22)=22.8

So answer is 22.8

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

75th percentile

Percentile posiiton = 19(75)/100 = 14.25

75th percentile= 37+0.25(39-37)=37.5

About 3\4 of all the orange juice in the world is produced in Brazil
Temka [501]

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by converting the fraction 3/4 into decimal.

Divide the numerator by the denominator: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

Multiply the decimal by 100 and write the result with the percentage sign: 0.75 × 100 = 75%.

Therefore, 3/4 = 75%

The accountant charged $35 for the first hour of work and $23 for each hour after that.He earned a total of$127 how many hours d
dexar [7]

Answer:

He worked a total of 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first hour the man makes $35 dollars for the first hour then for the other hours he earns $23 dollars, right? So we start off with 35.

35 = one hour.

35 + 23 = 2 hours .  =  58.

35  + 23 + 23 = 3 hours. =  81.

35 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 4 hours.  =  104.

35 + 23 + 23 + 23 + 23 = 5 hours. =  127.

We were looking for if the man earned $127 dollars how many hours would be be working.


He'd be working 5 hours.

Hope this helps (:
