Lowest value: 15

Highest value: 30

Median: 23

Lower quartile: 18

Upper quartile: 27

Range: highest value - lowest value =

Range: 30 - 15 = 15

(IQR) Interquartile range: Upper quartile - Lower quartile =

(IQR): 27 - 18 = 9

Given:

Given that the data are represented by the box plot.

We need to determine the range and interquartile range.

Range:

The range of the data is the difference between the highest and the lowest value in the given set of data.

From the box plot, the highest value is 30 and the lowest value is 15.

Thus, the range of the data is given by

Range = Highest value - Lowest value

Range = 30 - 15 = 15

Thus, the range of the data is 15.

Interquartile range:

The interquartile range is the difference between the ends of the box in the box plot.

Thus, the interquartile range is given by

Interquartile range = 27 - 18 = 9

Thus, the interquartile range is 9.

Answer:

We can call last years amount as 100 percent. that means 68-100. We want to know was 85 is so we can say 85-x. We have 68-100

85-x

Cross multiplying and solving for x we get 8500/68 =x x=125, so the answer is 125.

Katherine is working two summer jobs, making $16 per hour lifeguarding and making $6 per hour walking dogs. In a given week, she

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Katherine need to work minimum 10 hours lifeguarding to meet her requirements

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate for Lifeguarding = $$16\ per\ hour$

Rate for walking dogs = $$6 \ per\ hour$

She had worked 2 hours walking dog

Money for walking dogs = Rate for walking dogs $\times$ hours worked= $\$6\times2=\$12$

she can work a maximum of 15 total hours and must earn at least $160.

Let hours required for lifeguarding be x

Money for life guarding = Rate for walking dogs $\times$ hours worked for lifrguarding= $\$16 \timesx=16x$

Total Money she must earn = Money for lifeguarding + Money for walking dogs

$16x+12=160\\16x=160-12\\16x=148\\x=\frac{148}{16}=9.25 \ hours$

Rounding to nearest hour

Katherine need to work minimum 10 hours lifeguarding to meet her requirements

Write x2 - 2x + 5 = 0 in vertex form. (Be sure to write your response in the form a(x-h)^2+k=0 with no spaces!)

Drupady [299]

To write the given quadratic equation to its vertex form, we first form a perfect square.

x² - 2x + 5 = 0
Transpose the constant to other side of the equation,
x² - 2x = -5
Complete the square in the left side of the equation,
x² - 2x + (-2/1(2))² = -5 + (-2/1(2))²
Performed the operation,
x² - 2x + 1 = -5 + 1
Factor the left side of the equation,
(x - 1)² = -4

Thus, the vertex form of the equation is,
 (x-1)² + 4 = 0
