Answer:

(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is:

98, 19, 14, 15, 18, 16, 20, 22, 12, 17, 13, 21, 18, 15

Arranging the given data set in ascending order, we get

12, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 98

Since, outlier is an observation point which is quite different from the rest of the given data set values, thus from the given data set, 98 is an outlier as it is quite different from rest of the given data values.

Now, let us consider the data set values without 98,

12, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

The mean is:

M=\frac{12+13+14+15+15+16+17+18+18+19+20+21+22}{13}=16.92

Also,  let us consider the data set values with 98,

12, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22,98

The mean is:

M=\frac{12+13+14+15+15+16+17+18+18+19+20+21+22+98}{14}=22.71

Now, in case of mean 16.92, the data values are almost symmetric in left and right side of the mean 16.92 but in case of mean 22.71, the data values are not symmetric in left and right side of the mean 16.92.

Thus, 98 is an outlier.

Therefore, There is one outlier, indicating an abnormally large number of books were rented out on that day.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Hector has 3/4 hour to spend his homework. He wants to spend 1/3 of this time on math homework, 10 minutes of his time on readin
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1\ h=60\ mi

we know that

Hector has 3/4 hour to spend his homework

Convert to minutes

\frac{3}{4}(60)=45\ min

so

1) He wants to spend 1/3 of this time on math homework

To find out the time on math homework, multiply 45 minutes by 1/3

45(\frac{1}{3})=15\ min

2) He wants to spend 10 minutes of his time on reading homework

3) He wants to spend the remaining time on science homework

The time spend on math homework plus the time spend reading homework, plus the time spend on his science homework must be equal to 45 minutes

Let

x ----> the time spend on his science homework

15+10+x=45

Solve for x

25+x=45\\x=45-25\\x=20\ min
