Answer:
y = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms first; 6y-8y=-2y and -8-6=-14
-2y-14=4.
Then add 14 to both sides.
-2y=18
Lastly, divide both sides by -2
y=-9
In order to draw the Box-whisker plot, we need to rewrite the data in increasing order.
42 43 47 48 51 52 56 56 58 60 62 64 65 66
Mean of the data = (42 + 43 + 47 + 48 + 51 + 52 + 56 + 56 + 58 + 60 + 62 + 64
+ 65 + 66) ÷ 14
Mean of the data = 770 ÷ 14
Mean of the data = 55
Median = (56 + 56) ÷ 2
Median = 112 ÷ 2
Median = 56
Lowest value = 42
Highest value = 66
Range = Highest value - Highest value
Range = 66 - 42
Range = 24
Lower Quartile = 25% of the data
Lower Quartile = 48
Upper Quartile = 75% of the data
Upper Quartile = 63
1) square root of 112 --> split into 2 radicals
2) square root of 16 and square root of 7
3) solve
answer: 4 square root 7
