Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest Interquartile range represents the greatest spread for the middle 50% of its data.

Find the IQR of each data set.

Option A,

18, 13, 22, 17, 21, 24

Arrange the data in ascending order.

13, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24

Divide the data in 4 equal parts.

(13), 17, (18), (21), 22, (24)

Q_1=17, Median=\frac{18+21}{2}=19.5, Q_3=22

Formula for IQR :

IQR=Q_3-Q_1

The IQR of first data set is

IQR=22-17=5

The IQR of the first data set is 5.

Similarly,

Option B,

17, 19, 22, 26, 17, 14

Arrange and divide the data in 4 equal parts.

(14), 17, (17), (19), 22, (26)

IQR=22-17=5

The IQR of the second data set is 5.

Option C,

13, 17, 12, 21, 18, 20

Arrange and divide the data in 4 equal parts.

(12), 13, (17), (18), 20, (21)

IQR=20-13=7

The IQR of the third data set is 7.

Option D,

18, 21, 16, 22, 24, 15

Arrange and divide the data in 4 equal parts.

(15), 16, (18), (21), 22, (24)

IQR=22-16=6

The IQR of the third data set is 6.

The IQR of third data set is highest, therefore third data set has the greatest spread for the middle 50% of its data.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Answer:

C) {13, 17, 12, 21, 18, 20}

Step-by-step explanation:

A data with the highest IQR ( interquartile range ) has the greatest spread for the middle 50% of its data,

In option A,

The data set is,

{18, 13, 22, 17, 21, 24}

After arranging in ascending order, the data is,

{13, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24}

Find the median of both lower and upper half,

{13, 17, 18 | 21, 22, 24}

Thus, IQR = Upper median - Lower median = 22 - 17 = 5,

Similarly, We can find the IQR for the other set,

In option B,

The data is,

{17, 19, 22, 26, 17, 14}

So, the IQR = 22 - 17 = 5,

In option C,

The data set is,

{13, 17, 12, 21, 18, 20}

So, the IQR = 20 - 13 = 7,

In option D,

The data set is,

{18, 21, 16, 22, 24, 15}

So, the IQR = 22 - 16 = 6

Hence, by the above explanation it is clear that,

The set {13, 17, 12, 21, 18, 20} has the greatest IQR value,

⇒ The set {13, 17, 12, 21, 18, 20} has the greatest spread for the middle 50% of its data

Option C is correct.

Answer:

<u>~Senpi boi here~</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply all terms by x and cancel:

x+2x+1=1x

3x+1=x(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x+1−x=x−x(Subtract x from both sides)

2x+1=0

2x+1−1=0−1(Subtract 1 from both sides)

2x=−1

2x

=

−1

(Divide both sides by 2)

x=

−1

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

x=

(Works in original equation)

<u>Answer:</u>

5/9(F-32)= -62.1 what is F?​
nlexa [21]

Answer:

F = -79.78

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to set F by itself

5/9(F-32) = -62.1

multiply the reciprocal of 5/9 on both sides to eliminate 5/9. The reciprocal is 9/5

-62.1 times 9/5

= -111.78

F-32 = -111.78

add 32 on both sides to get F by itself.

-111.78 + 32 = -79.78

A circle in the XY-plane has center (5, 7) and radius 2. Which of the following is an equation of the circle?
MAXImum [283]

Answer: A, because the equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2. So, if the point of the center is (5,7) and the radius 2 , then on the equation should be changed as negative and the radius should be multiplied as 4, which is (x-5)^2+(y-7)^2=4
