What is the interquartile range of 45,60,40,90,60,50,75,120,90

1 answer:

5 0

IQR = 40

1) Put the numbers in order: 40, 45, 50, 60, 60, 75, 90, 90, 120
2) Find the median: Median is 60 (the 2nd one)
3) Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median. For easy identification of Q1 and Q3. (40, 45, 50, 60,) 60, (75, 90, 90, 120)
4) Find the Q1 and Q3. Q1 = median of the lower half of the data; Q3 = median of the higher half of the data. Q1 and Q3 have even sets so its median cannot be defined.
5) Had both sets contain odd sets, the median of Q1 is subtracted from the median of Q3 to get the IQR.

We can then use the Alternative definition of IQR.
IQR is the difference between the largest and smallest values in the middle 50% of a set data.

40, 45, 50, 60, 60, 75, 90, 90, 120

Middle 50% is 50, 60, 60, 75, 90; IQR = Largest value - smallest value;

IQR = 90 - 50 = 40

What is the value of x then find the messures of Angles M and N

AveGali [126]

Answer:

x=32

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180

add up all angles and equate to 180

(4x-13)+(x+18)+15=180

5x=160

x=160/5=32

x+18 = 32+18 = 50

4x-13 = 4x32-13 = 128-13 = 115

add up all to check whether ans = 180; 15+50+115=180

A snail traveled 3 over 8, of an inch in 3 minutes. How many inches can the snail travel in 9 minutes? Express the answer as a d

Elanso [62]

So, first of all, let's convert the fraction $\frac{3}{8}$ into a decimal, which would be 0.375 (3 divided by 8)

The snail travels this far in 3 minutes. To find out how far it travels in nine minutes, we have to find out how many times 3 goes into 9.

9 / 3 = 3

Now. we simply multiply our decimal by three in order to get our answer!

0.375 x 3 = 1.125 inches

The answer is 1.125 inches!

A statistician calculates that 8% of Americans own a Rolls Royce. If the statistician is right, what is the probability that the

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

0.007 = 0.7% probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

A statistician calculates that 8% of Americans own a Rolls Royce.

This means that $p = 0.08$

Sample of 595:

This means that $n = 595$

Mean and standard deviation:

$\mu = p = 0.08$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{595}} = 0.0111$

What is the probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?

Proportion above 8% + 3% = 11% or below 8% - 3% = 5%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, and so we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Probability the proportion is less than 5%:

P-value of Z when X = 0.05. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.05 - 0.08}{0.0111}$

$Z = -2.7$

$Z = -2.7$ has a p-value of 0.0035

2*0.0035 = 0.0070

0.007 = 0.7% probability that the proportion of Rolls Royce owners in a sample of 595 Americans would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%
