Answer:

The third quartile is $Q_3=75$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Data 26, 34, 38, 49, 65, 75, 81

To find : What is the third quartile of the set of data?

Solution :

First arrange the data from smallest to greatest.

26, 34, 38, 49, 65, 75, 81

Then find the median of the data,

Since, the data is in odd numbers median is mid term i.e. 49.

To find the third quartile we take the upper half of data

Upper half of data set, 65, 75, 81

Third quartile is the median of the upper half of the data.

Median of upper half is

$Q_3=\frac{(n+1)^{th}}{2}$

$Q_3=\frac{(3+1)^{th}}{2}$

$Q_3=2^{th}$ term

$Q_3=75$

Therefore, The third quartile is $Q_3=75$

Which has the larger area, a square with sides that are x +1 units long or a rectangle with a length of x +2 units and a width o

swat32

Answer:

A. Square

Explanation:

The square with sides: x+1

Has an area of: (x+1)^2

The rectangle with sides: x+2 and x

Has an area of: x(x+2)

So we simplify the square: (x+1).(x+1)= x^2+2x+1

Simplifying the rectangle: x^2+2x

Therefore the square area is larger by one unit.

Hope you get it!

A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. Suppose that 25% of the incoming calls invol

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

a) 0.214 = 21.4% probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message

b) 0.118 = 11.8% probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message

c) 0.904 = 90.4% probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message

d) 0.786 = 78.6% probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it involves a fax message, or it does not. The probability of a call involving a fax message is independent of other calls. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

25% of the incoming calls involve fax messages

This means that $p = 0.25$

25 incoming calls.

This means that $n = 25$

a. What is the probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$ .

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{25} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{24} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{23} = 0.025$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{22} = 0.064$

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{21} = 0.118$

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.001 + 0.006 + 0.025 + 0.064 + 0.118 = 0.214$

0.214 = 21.4% probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message

b. What is the probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{21} = 0.118$

0.118 = 11.8% probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message.

c. What is the probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

Either less than 4 calls involve fax messages, or at least 4 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

$P(X < 4) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 4)$ . Then

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)$

In which

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{25} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{24} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{23} = 0.025$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{22} = 0.064$

$P(X$

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.096 = 0.904$

0.904 = 90.4% probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message.

d. What is the probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

Very similar to c.

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

From a), $P(X \leq 4) = 0.214)$

Then

$P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.214 = 0.786$

0.786 = 78.6% probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message
