Answer:

The third quartile is:

$Q_3=29$

Step-by-step explanation:

First organize the data from lowest to highest

4, 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 21, 22, 22, 24, 26, 29, 29, 33, 34, 43, 44

Notice that we have a quantity of n = 20 data

Use the following formula to calculate the third quartile $Q_3$

For a set of n data organized in the form:

$x_1, x_2, x_3, ..., x_n$

The third quartile is $Q_3$ :

$Q_3=x_{\frac{3}{4}(n+1)}$

With n=20

$Q_3=x_{\frac{3}{4}(20+1)}$

$Q_3=x_{15.75}$

The third quartile is between $x_{15}=29$ and $x_{16}=29$

Then

$Q_3 =x_{15} + 0.75*(x_{16}- x_{15})$

$Q_3 =29 + 0.75*(29- 29)\\\\Q_3 =29$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

aThe person and the hot air balloon form a right triangle, with the lift-off point as the vertex that form the right angle. If you were to try to solve for the height of the balloon, you would need to use tangent to do so:

tanθ = opp/adj = y/x

y = xtanθ

What this problem ultimately wants to know, is how the distance of the balloon is changing with respect to time: dy/dt. So we need to take the derivative of the above equation (you need to product rule to do so):

dy/dt = (dx/dt)tanθ + xsec2θ(dθ/dt)

We need to find out values for all of the variables:

The observer is not moving, therefore dx/dt = 0.

The observer is standing 4 miles away from the lift-off point, so x = 4.

The angle between the horizontal and the observer's line of sight is π/3, therefore θ = π/3.

The rate of change for the angle, dθ/dt, is 0.1.

Just plug all the numbers in:

dy/dt = (0)tan(π/3) + (4)sec2(π/3)(0.1)

dy/dt = 0 + 1.6

dy/dt = 1.6 mi/min

How do you find the Slope of a line?

UNO [17]

You find the slope of the line by using the formula $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ where x1 and y1 is the first point, and x2 and y2 are the second point.

To answer this question, you should set up and equation before doing anything else. So for this question you 're going to set up two equations.

The first equation is 2x+5y=33

The second equation is 8x+3y=30

Once you do that you have to solve for either X or Y by canceling out the other one. In this problem figuring out the Y is easier because you can cancel the X's more easily than the Y. To cancel a variable, they have to add up to 0.

So to cancel the X you multiply the equation 2x+5y=33 by -4.

That gives you -8x-20y= -132

Then you set up the two equations and add them together.

(-8x-20y= -132) + (8x+3y=30)

That gives you -17y = -102

So then you solve for Y by dividing by -17. You find out that Y is equal to 6. Then you plug the 6 back into the ORIGINAL equations and solve for X, which turns out to be 1.5

Hope this helped and if you get confused or have questions please ask :)
