Answer:

34 (explanation below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert percent to decimal by moving the decimal in the number 40 over 2 places to the left and drop the sign.

.40

Now multiply 85 by .40 = 34

You can ALSO do in your head by thinking 10 percent (8.50) and adding it 4 times to find 40 percent. It's a lot faster!

svlad2 [7]

The answer is 79 and 80.

x - the number of the first locker
x + 1 - the number of the consecutive locker
Their sum is 159.

x + x + 1 = 159
2x + 1 = 159
2x = 159 - 1
2x = 158
x = 158 / 2
x = 79

x - the number of the first locker: x = 79
x + 1 - the number of the consecutive locker x + 1 = 79 + 1 = 80

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Second class have higher marks and greater spread.

Step-by-step explanation:

First box plot represents class first. From the first box plot, we get

$\text{Minimum value }= 53,Q_1=62,Median=80,Q_3=86,\text{Maximum value }= 89$

$Range=Maximum-Minimum=89-53=36$

$IQR=Q_3-Q-1=86-62=24$

Second box plot represents class second. From the second box plot, we get

$\text{Minimum value }= 56,Q_1=62,Median=74,Q_3=89,\text{Maximum value }= 96$

$Range=Maximum-Minimum=96-56=40$

$IQR=Q_3-Q-1=89-62=27$

First class has greater minimum value, first quartile of both classes are same, second class has greater median, first class has greater third quartile and first class has greater maximum value. It means second class have higher marks but class first have less variation.

Second class has greater range and greater inter quartile range. It means data of second class has greater spread.

Therefore, second class have higher marks and greater spread.
