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.

2. Find the<br> slope of the<br> line between<br> (8, 6) and<br> (20, -14)
Natalka [10]

Answer:

slopee = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The  slope of a line is defined by the rise (the change in y-value) divided by the run (the change in x-value).  Here, the change in y-value is 6 - (-14) = 6 + 14 = 20.  The change in x-value is 20 - 8 = 12.  Therefore, the slope is 20/12 or (simplified) 5/3.

What times 6 equals 64
Tems11 [23]
Nothing times 6 equals 64 because 6 times 10 is 60 and 6 times 11 is 66 so nothing times 6 equals 64

PRE CALCULUS
Mumz [18]
Start with the parent function f(x) = x³

Notice the function f(x) = (x - 4)³ that a value '4' is subtracted from 'x' ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated four units to the right.

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³, the function (x - 4)³ is halved vertically ⇒ Half the y-coordinate

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ + 5 that a value '5' is added to ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ ⇒ This means the function f(x)  is translated five units up

So the order of transformation that is happening to f(x) = x³ is translation four units to the right, half the y-coordinate, then translate 5 units up.
