What is the interquartile range of the data set? {33, 38, 45, 56, 57, 63, 72, 91}

The IQR = 26.
The interquartile range (IQR) is found by subtracting the first quartile from the third quartile (Q3 - Q1 = IQR).

First Quartile (Q1) = 41.5
To find the first quartile, you find the middle value between the minimum value of the set and the set's median. The minimum value of the set is 33, and the median is 56.5 (56 + 57 = 113, 113/2 = 56.5).

Since there are an even number of values in the set, split it in half. Find the median in the lesser half of values: {33, 38, 45, 56}. The two middle values are 38 and 45, which you add together and divide by 2 to get the first quartile. 33 + 38 = 83, 83/2 = 41.5

Third Quartile (Q3) = 67.5
The second half of the data values from when you split the set in half earlier is composed of the numbers {57, 63, 72, 91}. Add 63 and 72 together to get 135 and divide by 2 to find the 3rd Quartile value. 135/2 = 67.5

Interquartile Range: 26
The IQR is found by subtracting Q3 - Q1. You get 67.5 - 41.5 which equals 26. The IQR is 26.

The lengths of brook trout caught in a certain Colorado stream are normally distributed with a mean of 14 inches and a standard

mezya [45]

Answer:

0.6563 or 65.63% of brook trout caught will be between 12 and 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean trout length (μ) = 14 inches

Standard deviation (σ) = 3 inches

The z-score for any given trout length 'X' is defined as:

$z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ e interval

For a length of X =12 inches:

$z=\frac{12-14}{3}\\z=-0.6667$

According to a z-score table, a score of -0.6667 is equivalent to the 25.25th percentile of the distribution.

For a length of X =18 inches:

$z=\frac{18-14}{3}\\z=1.333$

According to a z-score table, a score of 1.333 is equivalent to the 90.88th percentile of the distribution.

The proportion of trout caught between 12 and 18 inches, assuming a normal distribution, is the interval between the equivalent percentile of each length:

$P(12\leq X\leq 18) = 90.88\% - 25.25\%\\P(12\leq X\leq 18) = 65.63\%$

Karolina [17]

Home is located at the point (-5, 5)

The park is located at the point (-2, 3)

Apply the distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5-(-2))^2 + (5-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5+2)^2 + (5-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{13}\\\\d \approx 3.6055513\\\\$

When rounding to the nearest whole number, we get 4. This is the approximate distance (in blocks) from home to the park. I'm not sure why "4 blocks" isn't listed as a possible distance, so there may be a typo somewhere.

You'll apply this idea to the other pairs of points to find the other distances.
