Answer:

The third quartile is 56.45

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The first quartile, Q₁ = 30.8

The median or second quartile, Q₂ = 48.5

The mean, \bar x = 42.0

Coefficient of skewness = -0.38

The Bowley's coefficient of skewness (SK) is given as follows;

SK = \dfrac{Q_3 + Q_1 - 2 \times Q_2}{Q_3 - Q_1}

Plugging in the values, we have;

-0.38 = \dfrac{Q_3 + 30.8 - 2 \times 48.5}{Q_3 - 30.8}

Which gives;

-0.38×(Q₃ - 30.8) = Q₃ + 30.8 - 2 × 48.5

11.704 - 0.38·Q₃ = Q₃ - 66.2

1.38·Q₃ = 11.704 + 66.2 =  77.904

Q₃ = 56.45

The third quartile = 56.45.

How do I solve this?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Answer A represents this

x <= -3  ;  x > 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x on each of the inequalities:

4 x + 4 <= - 8

subtract 4 from both sides

4 x <= - 12

divide both sides by 4 to isolate x completely (notice 4 is positive, so there is NO flipping of the inequality symbol)

x <= -3

This inequality is represented by shading the left section of the number line starting at x = -3 (make sure you draw a SOLID dot to mae clear that the point x = -3 is also included in your drawing.

The other inequality:

11 x - 11 > 88

add 11 to both sides

11 x > 99

divide both sides by 11 to isolate x (notice again that 11 is a positive number, so the inequality doesn't change with the division)

x > 9

This inequality is represented by shadowing the right hand side of the number line starting at x = 9. Make sure you draw an EMPTY dot on the number 9 to indicate that x = 9 is NOT included.

Find the roots of f(x)=x^2+10x−96
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

x = -16 or x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the roots of a polynomial function, set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x.

x² + 10x - 96 = 0

We need to factor the left side. The left side is a quadratic polynomial whose first coefficient is 1. We need two numbers whose product is -96 and whose sum is 10. The numbers are 16 and -6.

(x + 16)(x - 6) = 0

If a product of two factors equals zero, then one factor or the other or both must equal zero.

x + 16 = 0  or  x - 6 = 0

x = -16 or x = 6
