Answer: 300 feet

The biggest challenge in this problem is that it includes a fraction.

So, we can make this question easier by figuring out how many feet this train travels in 1 second.

If we know how far it traveled in 1 second, then we can quickly figure out how far it goes in 4 seconds.

Since the train travels 25 feet in 1/3 of a second, then it must travel 3 times that far in 1 second:

25 feet x 3 = 75

We now know that this train must travel 75 feet in 1 second. Now we can solve for 4 seconds quite simply.

<h3>Step 2: Extrapolate</h3>

If the train travels 75 feet in 1 second, then how far will it travel in 4 seconds? We need to multiply 75 by 4 to get our answer:

75 x 4 = 300 feet

Consider a sample with data values of 27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24. Compute the 20th, 25th, 65th, and 75th percentiles. 20

Answer:

$P_{20} = 20$ --- 20th percentile

$P_{25} = 21.75$ --- 25th percentile

$P_{65} = 27.85$ --- 65th percentile

$P_{75} = 29.5$ --- 75th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24.

N = 8

First, arrange the data in ascending order:

Arranged data: 16, 21, 24, 24, 27, 28, 30, 33

Solving (a): The 20th percentile

This is calculated as:

$P_{20} = 20 * \frac{N +1}{100}$

$P_{20} = 20 * \frac{8 +1}{100}$

$P_{20} = 20 * \frac{9}{100}$

$P_{20} = \frac{20 * 9}{100}$

$P_{20} = \frac{180}{100}$

$P_{20} = 1.8th\ item$

This is then calculated as:

$P_{20} = 1st\ Item +0.8(2nd\ Item - 1st\ Item)$

$P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*(21 - 16)$

$P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*5$

$P_{20} = 16 + 4$

$P_{20} = 20$

Solving (b): The 25th percentile

This is calculated as:

$P_{25} = 25 * \frac{N +1}{100}$

$P_{25} = 25 * \frac{8 +1}{100}$

$P_{25} = 25 * \frac{9}{100}$

$P_{25} = \frac{25 * 9}{100}$

$P_{25} = \frac{225}{100}$

$P_{25} = 2.25\ th$

This is then calculated as:

$P_{25} = 2nd\ item + 0.25(3rd\ item-2nd\ item)$

$P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(24-21)$

$P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(3)$

$P_{25} = 21 + 0.75$

$P_{25} = 21.75$

Solving (c): The 65th percentile

This is calculated as:

$P_{65} = 65 * \frac{N +1}{100}$

$P_{65} = 65 * \frac{8 +1}{100}$

$P_{65} = 65 * \frac{9}{100}$

$P_{65} = \frac{65 * 9}{100}$

$P_{65} = \frac{585}{100}$

$P_{65} = 5.85\th$

This is then calculated as:

$P_{65} = 5th + 0.85(6th - 5th)$

$P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(28 - 27)$

$P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(1)$

$P_{65} = 27 + 0.85$

$P_{65} = 27.85$

Solving (d): The 75th percentile

This is calculated as:

$P_{75} = 75 * \frac{N +1}{100}$

$P_{75} = 75 * \frac{8 +1}{100}$

$P_{75} = 75 * \frac{9}{100}$

$P_{75} = \frac{75 * 9}{100}$

$P_{75} = \frac{675}{100}$

$P_{75} = 6.75th$

This is then calculated as:

$P_{75} = 6th + 0.75(7th - 6th)$

$P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(30- 28)$

$P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(2)$

$P_{75} = 28 + 1.5$

$P_{75} = 29.5$

Jeff drinks 2/3 of a glass of juice. write a fraction that is equivalent to 2/3

frutty [35]

Some fractions that are equivalent to 2/3 are 4/6 and 6/9
to find equivalent fractions, you just have to reduce the fraction or multiply both the top and bottom numbers by the same number to increase the fraction.
2/3 is as reduced as it can be, though.
