Answer:
a) $13588.08
b) $688.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Melissa had to purchase $12,900 worth of machinery for her business.
She made a down payment of $2100 and after that made monthly payments of $478.67 for the business loan for the rest.
Given that after years of paying monthly payments of $478.67, she finally paid off the loan.
Assume that she took 2 years to repay the loan.
a) Therefore, the total amount Melissa ended up paying for the machinery was $[2100 + (478.67 × 24)] = $13588.08 (Answer)
b) Therefore, the amount of interest that Melissa pay on the loan is $(13588.08 - 12900) =$688.08. (Answer)
 
        
             
        
        
        
Median: 29
Range: 25
IQR: 14.5
Explanations:
**Median:**
(To find the median, we need to first order all the elements)
Ordered —> 15, 18, 18, 20, 23, 28, 30, 33, 33, 34, 38, 40
(Since there are an even number of elements, we need to add the two elements in the middle and divide by 2)
Median = (28 + 30)/2 = 58/2 = 29
**Range:**
(To find the range, you just have the subtract the smallest one from the largest)
Range = 40 - 15 = 25
**IQR:**
First half of elements —> 15, 18, 18, 20, 23, 28
Second half of elements —> 30, 33, 33, 34, 38, 40
Q1 (Quartile 1) = Median of first half = (18 + 20)/2 = 38/2 = 19
Q3 (Quartile 3) = Median of second half = (33 + 34)/2 = 67/2 = 33.5
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 33.5 - 19 = 14.5
