142 houses can be built

71/2 reduces to 35.5

35.5/.25 = 142

Saul decides to use the IQR to measure the spread of the data. Saul calculates the IQR of the data set to be 27

german

Answer:

n = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

IQR is the interquartile range of the data set.

So Saul had already arranged the data in order, that is the first step when calculating the interquartile range.

25, 30, 50, 50, 50, 50, 56, n., 250

Next, is to find the median so we could easily separate the data into quartiles.

The median of the data 25, 30, 50, 50, 50, 50, 56, n., 250 = 50

Then, arrange the data into the first quartile and the third quartile

first quartile = 25, 30, 50, 50

third quartile = 50, 56, n., 250

first quartile median = 30 + 50 = 80/2 = 40

third quartile = 56 + n /2

The interquartile range formula is the first quartile subtracted from the third quartile:

IQR = Q3 – Q1.

Since 27 is the interquartile range, n=

27 = (56 + n /2) - 40

Use 2 to multiply through to eliminate the denominator

54 = (56 + n) - 80

n = 78

One quart of water-resistant paint covers 75 square feet. A swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length o

docker41 [41]

18.66 quarts of paint is needed to paint the swimming pool with two coats of paint

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

<em><u>A swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular prism</u></em>

Length = 20 feet

Width = 10 feet

Height = 5 feet

<em><u>Find the surface area of prism</u></em>

$A=2(wl+hl+hw)$

Where, "l" is the length and "w" is the width and "h" is the height

$A = 2(10 \times 20 + 5 \times 20 + 5 \times 10)\\\\A = 2(200+100+50)\\\\A = 2 \times 350\\\\A = 700$

Thus surface area area of prism is 700 square feet

Given that,

One quart of water-resistant paint covers 75 square feet

Therefore,

1 quart paint = 75 square feet

x quart = 700 square feet

This forms a proportion

$1 \times 700 = 75 \times x\\\\x = \frac{700}{75}\\\\x = 9.33$

Thus 9.33 quarts of paint is needed to cover 700 square feet

How many quarts should you buy to paint the swimming pool with two coats of paint

For two coats of paint we need = 9.33 + 9.33 = 18.66 quarts of paint
