Answer:
The steps to finding the upper and lower quartiles are given in the first choice.
1. Order the data from least to greatest. If you don't do this, the data is random.
2. Find the median - you will do this so that you can find the midpoint of the data set (half of of the data is smaller and half of the data is larger).
3. Find the lower quartile - this is the half of the lower half of numbers; think of it as breaking the lower half of the data into 2 sections.
4. Find the upper quartile - this is the half of the greater half of numbers; this will break the upper half of the data into 2 sections.
Answer:
=6r−18
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
=2r+−6+(4)(r)+(4)(−3)
=2r+−6+4r+−12
Combine Like Terms:
=2r+−6+4r+−12
=(2r+4r)+(−6+−12)
=6r+−18
10 3/5 is the correct answer
Looks like you just evaluated the summand for the given value of

, whereas the question is asking you to find the value of the sum for the first

terms.
Let

. Then

is the

th partial sum.

happens to be the first term in the series, which is why that box is marked correct:

But the next partial sum is not correct:

and this is not the same notion as the second term (which indeed is 0.75) in the series.
