The following table shows the number of hours some high school students in two towns spend riding the bus each week:

Part A:

The five number summary is consisting of : Median or 2nd quartile(Q2), 1st quartile(Q1), 3rd quartile(Q3), Lowest and Highest values.

For creating the five number summary for each set, first we need to rearrange the data set in ascending order:

Town A : 3 4 5 5 6 7 9 9 20

Median is the middle value in the set. Here, the middle value is 6. So the median or second quartile(Q2) = 6. The lowest value is 3 and highest value is 20.

The median splits the remaining data into two sets. The first set is 3, 4, 5, 5. The median of this set is \frac{4+5}{2}= \frac{9}{2}  =4.5

So, first quartile (Q1) = 4.5

The other set is 7, 9, 9, 20. The median of this set is: \frac{9+9}{2}=\frac{18}{2}=9

So, third quartile (Q3) = 9

The interquartile range(IQR)= Q3 - Q1 = 9 - 4.5 = 4.5

Town B : 3 3 5 5 6 8 8 9 9

The middle value in the set is 6. So, the median or second quartile(Q2) =6. The lowest value is 3 and the highest value is 9.

The first set in the left of median is: 3 3 5 5 and median of this set= \frac{3+5}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4

So, first quartile (Q1) = 4

The second set in the right of median is : 8 8 9 9 and the median of this set = \frac{8+9}{2}=\frac{17}{2}=8.5

So, third quartile (Q3) = 8.5

The interquartile range(IQR)= Q3 - Q1 =8.5 - 4 = 4.5

Part B:

A box plot is called symmetric when the median is in the middle of the box, that means Q2 should be equally distanced from Q1 and Q3.

For town A, distance between Q1 and Q2 = 6 - 4.5 = 1.5 and distance between Q2 and Q3 = 9 - 6 = 3. As the distances are different, so the box plot is not symmetric.

For town B, distance between Q1 and Q2 = 6 - 4 = 2 and distance between Q2 and Q3 = 8.5 - 6 = 2.5. As the distances are different, so this box plot is also not symmetric.

Solve the absolute value equation |2x+11|=7
Elena L [17]

Answer: hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+11 absolute value equals 2x+11, then 2x+11=7, subtract 11 from itself, and 7 you get 2x=4 divide both sides by 2 an you get -2=x.

Find the length of the indicated side of the similar figure.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

in similar figures the side lengths must be proportional:

4/8 = x/10 cross multiply fractions

40 = 8x divide both sides by 8

5 = x

Miguel tells his teacher1/5 is the same as 20%. Which best justifies Miguel’s answer? a.5 goes into 100 twenty times, so 20% is
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

C. 5 goes into 100 twenty times, and 1 times 20 is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that when we multiply both numerator and denominator of a fraction by a same number then we obtain an equivalent fraction,

Here, the given fraction,

\frac{1}{5}

By the above statement,

\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times 20}{5\times 20}=\frac{20}{100}

Now,

a\%=\frac{a}{100}

\implies \frac{20}{100}=20\%

Hence,

\frac{1}{5}=20\%

Option C is correct.

What is the vertex of y<∣x−3∣+5​
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

(3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is is the standard y=|x| except the values tells you that x shifts 3 (within the absolute value or parentheses x does the opposite) to the right and the y value shifts 5 up (numbers outside parentheses affects y and does what it says). You can try using a table of values then graphing to check your answer.
