Find the 44th percentile, P44, from the following data! pls help

irina [24]

Answer:

$P_{44} = 29.9$

Step-by-step Explanation:

The 44th percentile, $P_{44}$ , of the given data can be calculated using the kth formula for percentile given as:

$i = \frac{k}{100}(n + 1)$

where,

i = the ranking or the position of the percentile = ?

k = the percentile = 44

n = total number of the given data values = 23

Plug in the values into the formula to find "i"

$i = \frac{44}{100}(23 + 1)$

$i = \frac{44}{100}(24)$

$i = \frac{1,056}{100}$

$i = 10.56$

Since "I", 10.56, is not an integer, round the number down, and round it up to the nearest integer, then look for the position each occupy in the ordered data set, and find their average.

Thus,

$i_{down} = 10.56 = 10$

$i_{up} = 10.56 = 11$

The data occupying the 10th position on the data set = 28.7

11th = 31.1

$P_{44} = \frac{28.7 + 31.1}{2} = \frac{59.8}{2}$

$P_{44} = 29.9$

How do you fine out if y is a linear function of x on a graph

mote1985 [20]

Answer: If a vertical line can be drawn to touch the graph of a function in more than one place, then is NOT a function of . If it is not possible to draw a vertical line to touch the graph of a function in more than one place, then y is a function of x.

What are the ordered pairs of the

9966 [12]

Start by writing the system down, I will use $y$ to represent $f(x)$

$y=x^2-5x+3\wedge y=-3$

Substitute the fact that $y=-3$ into the first equation to get,

$-3=x^2-5x+3$

Simplify into a quadratic form ( $ax^2+bx+c=0$ ),

$x^2-5x+6=0$

Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,

$x^2+x(m+n)+mn=0$

which then must factor into

$(x+m)(x+n)=0$

And the solutions will be $m,n$ .

Clearly for small coefficients like ours $5,6$ , this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that $m=3, n=2$ .

This fits the definition as $5=3+2$ and $6=2\cdot3$ .

So as mentioned, solutions will equal to $m=3, n=2$ but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form $(x,y)$ .

To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.

So the solution pairs are $(2,0)$ and $(3,0)$ .

Hope this helps :)
