A data set has 24 data points.

1 answer:

6 0

Short Answers:

Question: How many points are above the median?
Answer: 12

Question: How many points are below the 1st quartile?
Answer: 6

Question: How many points are between the first and third quartiles?
Answer: 12

=======================================

Explanations to how I got those answers:

We have 24 data points so half of them are below the median and the other half are above the median. Take half of 24 to get 24*(1/2) = 24*0.5 = 12
That's why there are 12 values above the median.

Note: This trick only works if you have an even number of values.

-----------------------

Q1 = first quartile
The first quartile is the median of set L, where L is the set of values lower than the median. We have 12 values in set L. Half of those values (6) are above Q1 and the other 6 values are below Q1.

-----------------------

Q1 = first quartile
Q3 = third quartile
The interquartile range (IQR) spans from Q1 to Q3. This is exactly 50% of the distribution, or half of the values. We'll get the same answer as we did in the first part. So this is why there are 12 values between Q1 and Q3.

Two squares are drawn. The larger Square has area of 400 in.². The area of the two squares have a ratio of 1 to 4. What is the s

Alex Ar [27]

The first thing we must do in this case is to find the area of the smallest square.
For this, we use the following relationship:
A1 / A2 = 4/1
Substituting:
400 / A2 = 4/1
From here, we clear A2:
A2 = (1/4) * (400)
A2 = 100 in ^ 2
We now look for the side of the small square, we use the following relationship:
A = S ^ 2
We cleared S:
S = root (A)
S = root (100)
S = 10 in
Answer:
the side length S of the smaller square is:
S = 10 in

A clothing store spends $10 for each shirt it produces and has fixed costs of $400. If the store makes 50 shirts, how much shoul

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

b)$18

Step-by-step explanation:

The break even point is when the revenue is equal to the cost.

Revenue:

How much the store earns for each shirt.

We want to find the price of each shirt, and 50 shirts will be made.

So the revenue function is:

$R = 50p$

In which p is the price.

Costs:

A clothing store spends $10 for each shirt it produces and has fixed costs of $400.

So for 50 shirts:

400 + 50*10 = 900

Breakeven

Revenue equals cost

50p = 900

p = 900/50

p = 18

So the correct answer is:

b)$18
