The domain is negative infinity to positive infinity and the range is 8.
Answer: y = 0.5cos(x), choice A
The parent function y = cos(x) follows this same basic pattern of the curve shown, but it starts off at (0,1) as its highest point. This graph has its highest point to be half as high, so we multiply by 1/2 or 0.5
The measures of spread include the range, quartiles and the interquartile range, variance and standard deviation. Let's consider each one by one.
<u>Interquartile Range: </u>
Given the Data -> First Quartile = 2, Third Quartile = 5
Interquartile Range = 5 - 2 = 3
<u>Range:</u> 8 - 1 = 7
<u>Variance: </u>
We start by determining the mean,

n = number of numbers in the set
Solving for the sum of squares is a long process, so I will skip over that portion and go right into solving for the variance.

5.3
<u>Standard Deviation</u>
We take the square root of the variance,

2.3
If you are not familiar with variance and standard deviation, just leave it.
