Let's say her speed was x miles/hour during the first 3 miles runThen, time = distance/speedt1 = 3/x       eq1 In the next 4 miles run, her speed = x-1 miles/hourTime taken:t2 = 4/(x-1)      eq2 Now, total time:t1 + t2 = 1 3/5 hourssubstitute t1 and t2 from eqs. 1 and 2 3/x + 4/(x-1) = 1 3/5=> 3/x + 4/(x-1) = 8/5
=> 3(x-1) + 4x = 8x(x-1)/5=> 35x - 15 = 8x2 - 8x=> 8x2 - 43x + 15 = 0=> (8x-3)*(x-5) = 0=> x = 3/8 or 5 miles/hourx can not be 3/8 miles/hour because in that case, the speed during 4 miles run would be 3/8-1 = negative numberi.e. speed during 3 miles segment = 5 miles/hourand speed during 4 miles segment = 5-1 = 4 miles/hour

Which statement is true about the box plots? Both the ranges and the interquartile ranges for the data sets are the same. Neithe
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Neither the ranges nor the interquartile ranges for the data sets are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a visual display, the boxplot presents five sample statistics: the minimum, the lower quartile, the median, the upper quartile and the maximum, and the box length gives an indication of the sample variability and the line across the box shows where the sample is centred, with an end at each quartile. The length of the box is thus the interquartile range of the sample and, whether the sample is symmetric or skewed, either to the right or left, the "shape" of the sample, and by implication, the shape of the population from which it was drawn, considering appropriate analyses of the data.
