The box plots show the weights, in pounds, of the dogs in two different animal shelters. Weights of Dogs in Shelter A 2 box plot

s. The number line goes from 6 to 30. For the weights of dogs in shelter A, the whiskers range from 8 to 30, and the box ranges from 17 to 28. A line divides the box at 21. For shelter B, the whiskers range from 10 to 28, and the box ranges from 16 to 20. A line divides the box at 18. Weights of Dogs in Shelter B Which is true of the data in the box plots? Select three choices. The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B. The median weight for shelter B is greater than that for shelter A. The data for shelter A are a symmetric data set. The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set. The interquartile range of shelter A is greater than the interquartile range of shelter B.

Answer:

1) The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B.

True, the median weight for shelter A is 21 pounds as compared to the 18 pounds median weight for shelter B.

4) The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set.

True, the median is exactly 2 pounds away from each quartile which means it is symmetric.

5) The interquartile range of shelter A is greater than the interquartile range of shelter B.

True, the interquartile range of shelter A is 11 pounds as compared to the 4 pounds interquartile range of shelter B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two box-plots, a box plot basically shows 5 statistical characteristics of a data set and they are  

1. minimum value  

2. Lower quartile  

3. Median value  

4. Upper quartile  

5. Maximum value  

Box-plot of dogs in shelter A:

The whiskers range from 8 to 30

Which means that the range is = 30 - 8 = 22

The box ranges from 17 to 28

Which means that the interquartile range is = 28 - 17 = 11

21 - 17 = 4

28 - 21 = 9

The median is not equal distance away from each quartile which means that the box-plot is not symmetric.

A line divides the box at 21

Which means that the median is = 21

Box-plot of dogs in shelter B:

The whiskers range from 10 to 28

Which means that the range is = 28 - 10 = 20

The box ranges from 16 to 20

Which means that the interquartile range is = 20 - 16 = 4

18 - 16 = 2

20 - 18 = 2

The median is exactly 2 pounds away from each quartile which means it is symmetric.

A line divides the box at 18

Which means that the median is = 18

Which is true of the data in the box plots?

1) The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B.

True, the median weight for shelter A is 21 pounds as compared to the 18 pounds median weight for shelter B.

2) The median weight for shelter B is greater than that for shelter A.

False

3) The data for shelter A are a symmetric data set.

False

4) The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set.

True

5) The interquartile range of shelter A is greater than the interquartile range of shelter B.

True, the interquartile range of shelter A is 11 pounds as compared to the 4 pounds interquartile range of shelter B.

Mya and ERIC WORK IN A BAKERY . MYA HAS 3 TIMEA AS MUCH FLOUR AS ERIC .MYA HAS 15.81LB OF FLOUR .USE THE EQUATION 3F = 15.81 TO
Pavel [41]

Answer:

5.27 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mya has 3 times as much floor as Eric. Mya has 15.81 lb of floor. The relation is given by :

Let Eric has F floor.

3F = 15.81 ...(1)

We need to find how much flour Eric has.

Dividing both sides by 15.81.

F = 15.81/3

F = 5.27 lb

Hence, Eric has 5.27 lb of flour.

Bad gums may mean a bad heart. Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal diseas
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Periodontal disease

Event B: Heart attack

Researchers discovered that 82% of people who have suffered a heart attack had periodontal disease, an inflammation of the gums.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.82

Only 33% of healthy people have this disease.

This means that P(A) = 0.33

Suppose that in a certain community heart attacks are quite rare, occurring with only 15% probability.

This means that P(B) = 0.15

If someone has periodontal disease, what is the probability that he or she will have a heart attack

P(B|A) = \frac{0.15*0.82}{0.33} = 0.3727

37.27% probability that he or she will have a heart attack.
