What does this mean? A) That the median number of points off was 10. B) That half the students scored 20 points higher. C) That the highest grade was 20 points above the median. D) That the middle 50% of the scores were 20 points apart.

Hi there!

The interquartile is the upper quartile and lower quartile subtracted.
As the pictures show below.
The interquartile range (IQR) limits the range to the 50% of the values.
So I think the answer is D. That the middle 50% of the scores were 20 points apart.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

D) That the middle 50% of the scores were 20 points apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interquartile range measures the skewness using 50% of the data. It is the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile.

A) this option is incorrect as it does not define the Interquartile range.

B) No, it is the definition of median.

C) No, it does not define the interquartile range.

D) Yes, it is correct answer.

What is the value of the function when x = 1?
sattari [20]
Just look at the x axis (horizontal) and see where x=1 or go 1 unit from the origin (0,0), then go up untill you hit a point that coresponds witha y value which looks to be 2 so coresponding y for x=1 is y=2

if we are given point (1,2) then
(x,y)
x=1
y=2
that is the solution already

A farmer from Whidbey Island: A man claims his whalebone can detect water. You design an experiment using a set of 4 cans, 3 emp
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The value is E(x) =  1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of cans is n = 4

The number of can that are empty is N = 3

The number of can filled with water is k = 1

The number number of sets of cans is w = 5

Generally probability of detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

p  =  \frac{k}{n}

=> p  =  \frac{1}{4}

=> p  = 0.25

Generally probability of not detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

q =  1- p

q =  1- 0.25

q = 0.75

Generally the number of cans expected of the farmer to correctly identify by chance is mathematically represented as

E(x) =  w  *  p

=> E(x) =  5  * 0.75

=> E(x) =  1.25
