What is the interquartile range of the data set

Verizon [17]

There are many methods of doing this. This one finds the median; however, instead of halving, you can use quarters instead.

First order the data, ascendingly:

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

Find the median:

For an even number of values: The number of values / 2

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 2

11 is odd.

11 + 1 / 2

12 / 2 = 6

The median is at the 6th position.

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

The median is 20.

Other method:

You don't need this step.

Using the values lower than the median, exclusive, find the median of the lower values;

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 2

10, 17, 18, 18, 18

5 + 1 / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

The median of the lower values is at position 3.

This is the lower quartile.

10, 17, 18, 18, 18

Other method:

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 4

11 + 1 / 4 = 12 / 4 = 3

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

Using the values greater than the median, exclusive, find the median:

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 2

20, 25, 25, 30, 30

5 + 1 / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

The median of the upper values is at position 3.

20, 25, 25, 30, 30

This is 25.

This is the upper quartile.

Other method:

For an odd number of values: (The number of values + 1 / 4) * 3

(11 + 1 / 4) * 3 = (12 / 4) * 3 = 3 * 3 = 9

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

Your interquartile range is 3 - 25

25 - 3 = 21

F(x) = x ^ 2 - 8x + 7

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:
They have the same x-value
f(x) has the greater minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the vertex of a second degree equation, in this case the minimum value, we can use the following equation:
x = -b / 2a
Remember that a second degree equation has the following form:
ax^2 + bx + c
so a = 1, b = -8 and c = 7. Now you have to substitute in the previous equation
x = - (-8) / 2(1)
x = 8 / 2
x = 4
This means that the two functions have the same x-value.
The y value of f(x) would be
f(4) = (4)^2 - 8(4) + 7
f(4) = 16 - 32 + 7
f(4) = -9
So the vertex, or minimun value of f(x) would be at the point (4, -9).
The vertex, or minimun value of g(x) is at the point (4, -4).
So f(x) has a minimum value of -9 and g(x) a minimum value of -4.

If the sum of the first 12 terms of a geometric series is 8190 and the common ratio is 2. Find the first term and the 20th term.

Reil [10]

The first term is 2 and the 20th term is 1048576 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , If the sum of the first 12 terms of a geometric series is 8190 and the common ratio is 2. We need to Find the first term and the 20th term. Let's find out:

We know that Sum of a GP is :

⇒ $S_n = \frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}$
