Answer:

a. The IQR = 75th percentile – 25th percentile or Q3 – Q1

b. Median for data set 1 – median for data set 2

c. Data is either positively skewed, negatively skewed or normally/ equally distributed. Median is usually better since its accuracy is not affected by outliers like the mean.

d. Unusual/ inconsistent sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no data set (s) given, there cannot be actual calculations done to answer the questions. Only the explanations and formulas can be given.

a. The interquartile range (IQR) is given as the difference between the 75th percentile (Q3) and the 25th percentile (Q1). For example, Q3 is 50 and Q1 is 20, the IQR is 50 – 20 = 30.

b. Since there is no data set given, one cannot determine the median of each data set. The median is the middlemost value. The difference would be given by subtracting the median of one data set from the median of the other. For example, if the median for data set 1 is 15 and the median for data set is 13, the difference would be 15 – 13 and the answer is 2.

c. The median is best if the data has a positive (tail is on the right) or negative skew (tail is on the left). The mean is a better measure when the data is normally distributed or symmetrical (bell shaped) and there are no outliers. Outliers can overstate the or understate the mean.

d. There can be many reasons why there are outliers in a data set. Some of these are recording errors when the data was taken, unusual/ inconsistent sampling when the sample was taken, measurement errors and experimental errors in the data set.

ms Callahan is building a new dog pen for her dog. she has 24feet of fencing. the pen needs to be a rectangle. what is the lengt

NeX [460]

If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet. The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure. The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w. In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.

So, the formula is P=2l+2w. P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w. Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w. If the length is 1, l=1. 24=(2*1)+2w. 24=2+2w. 22=2w. w=11. So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.

What if l=2? 24=(2*2)+2w. 24=4+2w. 2w=20. w=10. If l=2, w=10. And l=3? 24=(2*3)+2w. 24=6+2w. 18=2w. w=9. If l=3, w=9. Do you see a pattern? Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w. So if l=4, w=8. If l=5, w=7. If l=6, w=6. Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5. If l=8, w=4. Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width. So, our answers are below.

Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.

The circle below is center Ed at O. Decide which length,if any, is definitely the same as the length. a) AD. b) BC. Justify your

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Point O is the center of the circle.

Part (a)

$\overline{A\:\!F}$ is a chord.

$\overline{OD}$ is a segment of the radius and is perpendicular to $\overline{A\:\!F}$

If a radius is perpendicular to a chord, it bisects the chord (divides the chord into two equal parts).

Therefore, $\overline{AD}=\overline{DF}$

Part (b)

If $\overline{BE}$ was extended past point E to touch the circumference it would be a chord.

As $\overline{OC}$ is perpendicular to $\overline{BE}$ , it would bisect the chord, but as $\overline{BE}$ is only a portion of a chord, $\overline{OC}$ does not bisect $\overline{BE}$ .

Therefore, there is no length equal to $\overline{BC}$ .
