<span>Benchmark fractions are created when we make two different fractions have the same numerator or denominator. In thisi case, we will produce the same denominator. The LCM of 10 and 12 is 60. So the fractions become 42/60 and 25/60. Since the fraction with the larger numerator has a larger value when the denominators are the same, 7/10 is larger than 5/12.</span>

Answer: a) 46 minutes
               
b) 10:47

The basic knowledge for this is that 60 minutes = 1 hour

<u>a)</u> Question a asks for how long it took from a 10:34 bus from Mosley to reach Bamford. From the table you can see that the 10:34 bus reaches Bamford at 11:20. All you have to do is count from 10:34 to 11:20.
10:34 will become 11:00 at 10:60 right? Clock's generally don't show 10:60 but goes directly to 11:00 after 1 minute is passed at 10:59. So from 10:34 to 11:00, it takes 26 minutes. Remember the bus reaches at 11:20 so from 11:00 to 11:20, it takes 20 minutes. Now add them up:
26 minutes + 20 minutes = 46 minutes

Here you go! Total 46 minutes from Mosley to Bamford.

<u>b)</u> From question b, we can see that Trina did not ride the first bus or by any chance missed it because the bus left at 10:14 and she is at the station at 10:15. Now think it from your perspective! You missed the first bus and you are in a big rush. So to reach your destination as early as possible, you will obviously take the next earliest bus. The next bus is at 10:24 (Belton). So if we take the 10:24 bus in Belton, it reaches at 10:47 in Garton.

Below is the five-number summary for 144 hikers who recently completed the John Muir Trail (JMT). The variable is the amount of
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The IQR is given by:

IQR = Q_3 -Q_1 = 28-18= 10

If we want to find any possible outliers we can use the following formulas for the limits:

Lower= Q_1 - 1.5 IQR

Upper= Q_3 + 1.5 IQR

And if we find the lower limt we got:

Lower= Q_1 - 1.5 IQR= 18-1.5*10 = 3

Upper= Q_3 + 1.5 IQR= 28+1.5*10= 43

So then the left boundary for this case would be 3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following 5 number summary from the data of 144 values:

Minimum: 9 days

Q1: 18 days

Median: 21 days

Q3: 28 days

Maximum: 56 days

The IQR is given by:

IQR = Q_3 -Q_1 = 28-18= 10

If we want to find any possible outliers we can use the following formulas for the limits:

Lower= Q_1 - 1.5 IQR

Upper= Q_3 + 1.5 IQR

And if we find the lower limt we got:

Lower= Q_1 - 1.5 IQR= 18-1.5*10 = 3

Upper= Q_3 + 1.5 IQR= 28+1.5*10= 43

So then the left boundary for this case would be 3 days

The ages of the people in attendance at the showing of an award-winning foreign film are shown below.
guapka [62]

Definition: A histogram visualises the distribution of data over a continuous interval or certain time period. Each bar in a histogram represents the tabulated frequency at each interval.

According to the given histogram,

0-20 years occur 15 times,

21-40 years occur 40 times,

41-60 years occur 40 times,

61-80 years occur 15 times.

This shows that the data is symmetrical and the majority of the attendees were between the ages of 21 and 60 (40 times).

Answer: correct choice is B.
