<u>Answer:</u>

The scientists have used the common historical and functional basis of living organisms to create the geological time period.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the living things present on earth have gone through the evolutionary process. According to the researches, the oldest fossil found on the earth can be traced 3.5 to 3.7 billion years back, and life today on earth has been evolved from a common ancestor through natural selection or adaptions.

The geological time period shows all the changes in living organisms in different eras eons,  eras, periods, epochs.

The geological time scale is a record and division of everything that has happened on Earth. This is not an absolute scale as we have an incomplete fossil record.

The geological column was created by placing Earth's rocks in order of their relative age. The scale was obtained by dividing the geological column into different time periods through studying large scale changes in the fossil record. This was further tuned with the help of radioactive dating.

Thus the divisions of the geological time are determined by the observed major changes in the Earth's life forms. It is dependent on the history of life on Earth.

Answer:

(b) The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.

(d) The median of A is the same as the median of B.

Explanation:

Given

A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}

10th\ run = 9

So:

B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}

Required

Select all true statements

(a) & (d) Median Comparisons

A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}                         B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}

n = 9                                                         n = 10

Arrange the data:

A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2,  2,3, 4\}               B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}

                               Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}th                            Median = \frac{10 + 1}{2}th

Median = \frac{10}{2}th                              Median = \frac{11}{2}th

Median = 5th                                 Median = 5.5}th --- average of 5th and 6th

Median = 2                                    Median = \frac{2+2}{2} = 2

Option (d) is correct because both have a median of: 2

(b) & (c) Interquartile Range Comparisons

A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2,  2,3, 4\}               B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}

n = 9                                                         n = 10

First, calculate the lower quartile (Q1)

Q_1 = \frac{n + 1}{4}th[Odd n]             Q_1 = \frac{n}{4}th [Even n]

Q_1 = \frac{9 + 1}{4}th                            Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th

Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th                              Q_1 = 2.5

Q_1 = 2.5th                              

This means that:

Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)              Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)

Q_1 = 1 + 0.5(1- 1)                   Q_1 = 1+ 0.5(1 - 1)                      

Q_1 = 1                                       Q_1 = 1

Next, calculate the upper quartile (Q3)

Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n + 1)th [Odd n]             Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n)th [Even n]

Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(9 + 1)th                            Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th

Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th                                     Q_3 = 7.5th  

Q_3 = 7.5th                                    

This means that:

Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)           Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)

Q_3 = 2 + 0.5(3- 2)                       Q_3 = 2+ 0.5(4 - 2)                      

Q_3 = 2.5                                       Q_3 = 3

The interquartile range is  IQR = Q_3 - Q_1

So, we have:

IQR = 2.5 - 1                  IQR = 3 - 1

IQR = 1.5                       IQR  =2

(b) is true because B has a greater IQR than A

(e) This is false because some spread measures (which include quartiles and the interquartile range) changed when the 10th data is included.

The upper quartile and the interquartile range of A and B are not equal
