To find which of the following roots is between "8" and "7" we can calculate the root of which numbers result in 8 and 7. To do this we will power them by 2, this is done because power is the oposite operation to the root. Doing this gives us:
So the root of 64 is 8 and the root of 49 is 7. We need to find the number that is between 49 and 64.
From the options the only one that qualifies is 52. The correct option is b.
The measures of spread include the range, quartiles and the interquartile range, variance and standard deviation. Let's consider each one by one.
<u>Interquartile Range: </u>
Given the Data -> First Quartile = 2, Third Quartile = 5
Interquartile Range = 5 - 2 = 3
<u>Range:</u> 8 - 1 = 7
<u>Variance: </u>
We start by determining the mean,
n = number of numbers in the set
Solving for the sum of squares is a long process, so I will skip over that portion and go right into solving for the variance.
5.3
<u>Standard Deviation</u>
We take the square root of the variance,
2.3
If you are not familiar with variance and standard deviation, just leave it.
