Answer: Part A. The IQR for town A is 4.5 and the IQR for town B is 4.5

Part B. No, they are assymetric.

Explanation: To find the interquatile range (IQR) of each set of data, you can do as follows:

1) Put the number in each set of data in order:

A: 3 4 5 5 6 7 8 9 9 20

B: 3 3 5 5 6 8 8 9 9

2) Find the median of each town data:

For A, the median is the number 6. Coincidently, the same can be said for town B: its median is 6.

3) Find Q1, which is the median (or the middle term) of the left side of the median:

A: 3 4 5 5 (set of numbers to calculate)

B: 3 3 5 5

Now, as both set of number are even, to find the median, we have to calculate the mean of the two central numbers:

For A: Q1 = \frac{4+5}{2} = 4.5

For B: Q1 = \frac{3+5}{2} = 4

4) Find Q3, which is the median of the right side of the first median:

A: 7 9 9 20 (set of numbers to calculate)

B: 8 8 9 9

As before, the median will be the mean:

For A: Q3 = \frac{9+9}{2} = 9

For B: Q3 = \frac{8+9}{2} = 8.5

5) The IQR is the result of a subtraction:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

For A: IQR = 4.5

For B: IQR = 4.5

For the two sets of data the IQR is the same and equals 4.5.

Part B: Box plot is a type of graphic, similar to histogram. To plot it, you need 5 points but for this question, it will be analised just the symmetric aspect. As the graphic is a retangule, to be symmetric, the median or mean has to be in the center of the retangule. In the case of the towns, the box plots are assymetric because the median of each town is closer to the Q1 of each town. In other words, the retangule is not "divided" exactly in half.

Crossroads, a sad vaudeville by Carlos Solorzano who comes from Guatemala. The quote relates to how the woman learn about how the man is looking for a young and beautiful girl like in the picture he has. When the woman realizes the man doesn't recognize her when she lifts her veil -despite having given him hints that she was the woman in the picture- she learns she can never be the woman in the picture so she leaves.

Please help me with ap government
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Chaos would happen and one branch will always have more power over the other branch. If they are all together, what is right and what is wrong. Is too much power being used? What laws to make? What actions to make? IF for not these questions perhaps, there would have been only one branch of the government. The executive branch has immense power and can be overpowered as well, but, that does not mean it can do any foolishness it wants. That is why the judicial branch exists and it has specific power, great power, to overrule anything if it is deemed wrong or unconsitituional. The president doesn't necessarily create law either. He writes them into law and may have some power or influence to add in laws he likes or wants. The legislative branch looks over the laws and creates them. The president merely looks over it and signs it. The judical branch also has the power to overrule laws that are unjust or unconstitutional. Together, these three branches make up the government. Without each other, or to be said, as single, the nation would be no more.

Never

If safe turn the power connection off at the supply source e.g the power box where the main switches are. But do not attempt to turn the power off st the powerpoint switch (the source in which the electrical hazard is coming from).

Even after the power has been disconnected you shouldnt touch the person immediately after.
