Answer:
8.5 hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
-A 75th percentile mathematically means that 75% of the time data points are below that value and 25% of the time are above that value.
-We plot the given our data {3 12 2 3 5} to determine the 75th percentile
#We can use
to plot our boxplot.
-From the plot, we find our 75th percentile to be 8.5 hrs
Hence, 75% of the time the number of hours spent to prepare was less than 8.5hrs.
17/35 is the Simplest form.
Just plug in 3 for n and then 5 for n to see if an turns out to be 10 and 26.
n=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10 OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK
n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42
So the answer is B
