How do I find the Q1, Q3, and IQR of a median that is a decimal?

1 answer:

3 0

Step 1: Put the numbers in order.
1,2,5,6,7,9,12,15,18,19,27Step 2: Find the median (How to find a median).
1,2,5,6,7,9,12,15,18,19,27Step 3: Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median.
Not necessary statistically–but it makes Q1 and Q3 easier to spot.
(1,2,5,6,7),9,(12,15,18,19,27)Step 4: Find Q1 and Q3
Q1 can be thought of as a median in the lower half of the data. Q3 can be thought of as a median for the upper half of data.
(1,2,5,6,7), 9, ( 12,15,18,19,27). Q1=5 and Q3=18.Step 5: Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range.
18-5=13.
Hope this helped:)

Just copy the triangle but on the opposite side I think. Take the coordinates and flip it onto the other side until its a perfect match

One of two supplementary angles is five times the other. Find the measure of each angle

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

supplementary angles add up to 180

so let one angle be x.....and the other angle is 5 times bigger....so let the second angle be 5x

x + 5x = 180

6x = 180

x = 180/6

x = 30

5x = 5(30) = 150

so one angle is 30 and the other angle is 150

Show that p(x)=2x3−5x2−10x+5 has a real root.

FromTheMoon [43]

Let's pick an arbitrary value of 5.

$P(5) = 2(5)^{3} - 5(5)^{2} - 10(5) + 5$
$= 2(125) - 125 - 50 + 5$
$= 250 - 125 - 50 + 5$
$= 80 > 0$

Let's pick another arbitrary value: 1

$P(1) = 2 - 5 - 10 + 5$
$= -8 < 0$

Between these two values, the polynomial is continuous. This means for the two polynomial points to be satisfied, there must be at least one root between these two points.

We can either use the Intermediate Value Theorem or Newton's method to make a better approximation from there.
