Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
To find out the mistake of the student, let's find the min, max, median, Q1 and Q3, which make up the 5 important values that are represented in a box plot.
Given, {2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 14, 15},
Minimum value = 2
Median = middle data point = 6
Q1 = 3 (the middle value of the lower part of the data set before the median)
Q3 = 14 (middle value of the upper part of the data set after the median)
Maximum value = 15
If we examine the diagram the student created, you will observe that he plotted the median wrongly. The median, which is represented by the vertical line that divides the box, ought to be at 6 NOT 10.
See the attachment below for the correct box plot.
Answer:
- The coordinates of the point p are:
Explanation:
1. Name the angle of inclination of the line joining p to the origin α.
2. Find the relation between the coordinates of the point (x,y)
When you draw a line from the origin to the parabola, the intersection point, p(x,y) will have coordinates (x,y).
As per the definition of the tangent trigonometric ratio you have:
From which you can clear y:
Which is the expression of the coordinates of p as a function of the angle of inclination of the line joining p to the origin.
