1 answer:
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 =
So answer is 22.8
----------------------
75th percentile
Percentile posiiton = 19(75)/100 = 14.25
75th percentile=

Answer:
232°
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to find the desired direction. Perhaps the most straightforward is to add up the coordinates of the travel vectors.
30∠270° +50∠210° = 30(cos(270°), sin(270°)) +50(cos(210°), sin(210°))
= (0, -30) +(-43.301, -25) = (-43.301, -55)
Then the angle from port is ...
arctan(-55/-43.301) ≈ 231.79° . . . . . . . 3rd quadrant angle
The bearing of the ship from port is about 232°.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
The term "knot" is conventionally used to indicate a measure of speed (nautical mile per hour), not distance. It is derived from the use of a knotted rope to estimate speed. Knots on the rope were typically 47 ft 3 inches apart. As a measure of distance 30 knots is about 1417.5 feet.
