The side-by-side boxplots show the ages of all Oscar winners for Best Actress (females) and Best Actor (males). It's easy to see

that both distributions contain outliers (they're stars in the plot). Given that the median age of a man who won Best Actor is 42, Q1 = 39, and Q3 = 48, what's the maximum age of a male who would not be considered an outlier? (Use the IQR rule for outliers.)
A. 61.5

B. 75

C. 50

D. 57

Answer: A. 61.5

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the IQR (Interquartile range) rule , the upper fence for the dta values is given by :_

$\text{Third Quartile}+1.5\times \text{IQR}$

Given : First Quartile : $Q_1=39$

Third Quartile : $Q_3=48$

Interquartile range (IQR)= $Q_3-Q_1=48-39=9$

Then, Upper fence: $48+1.5\times(9)$

$=48+13.5=61.5$

Hence, the maximum age of a male who would not be considered an outlier = 61.5

Please help me <br><br>If 180°<α<270°, cos⁡ α=−8/17, what is sin -α?

rewona [7]

Starting from the fundamental trigonometric equation, we have

$\cos^2(\alpha)+\sin^2(\alpha)=1 \iff \sin(\alpha)=\pm\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\alpha)}$

Since $180$ , we know that the angle lies in the third quadrant, where both sine and cosine are negative. So, in this specific case, we have

$\sin(\alpha)=-\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\alpha)}$

Plugging the numbers, we have

$\sin(\alpha)=-\sqrt{1-\dfrac{64}{289}}=-\sqrt{\dfrac{225}{289}}=-\dfrac{15}{17}$

Now, just recall that

$\sin(-\alpha)=-\sin(\alpha)$

to deduce

$\sin(-\alpha)=-\sin(\alpha)=-\left(-\dfrac{15}{17}\right)=\dfrac{15}{17}$

Hey, I need some help in math I put the pic down below

EastWind [94]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We find the slope with the given points:

$m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1} = \frac {401-450} {14-7} = \frac {-49} {7} = - 7$

Thus, the line is given by:

$y = -7x + b$

We substitute a point to find "b":

$450 = -7 (7) + b\\450 = -49 + b\\450 + 49 = b\\b = 499$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = -7x + 499$

Answer:

$y = -7x + 499$

Using addition formula solve tan 15

salantis [7]

Answer:

2 - $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the addition formula for tangent

tan(A - B) = $\frac{tanA-tanB}{1+tanAtanB}$ and the exact values

tan45° = 1 , tan60° = $\sqrt{3}$ , then

tan15° = tan(60 - 45)°

tan(60 - 45)°

= $\frac{tan60-tan45}{1+tan60tan45}$

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}-1 }{1+\sqrt{3} }$

Rationalise the denominator by multiplying numerator/ denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

The conjugate of 1 + $\sqrt{3}$ is 1 - $\sqrt{3}$

= $\frac{(\sqrt{3}-1)(1-\sqrt{3}) }{(1+\sqrt{3})(1-\sqrt{3}) }$ ← expand numerator/denominator using FOIL

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}-3-1+\sqrt{3} }{1-3}$

= $\frac{-4+2\sqrt{3} }{-2}$

= $\frac{-4}{-2}$ + $\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{-2}$

= 2 - $\sqrt{3}$
