Answer:

A. the median of the lower half of a data set ordered from least to greatest

Step-by-step explanation:

The first quartile can best described as the median of the lower half of a data set ordered from least to greatest.

Let us explain this with an example, say you're given a set of numbers: {1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 20, 23, 25, 28, 32, 36, 42}. The median for the set is 16, the first quartile is going to be the median of the first half which is 8.

Joaquin is constructing the perpendicular bisector of ab. What should be his first step?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

D. Open the compass so that the distance from the two points of the compass is wider than half the length of $\over{AB}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a perpendicular for $\over{AB}$ , we must first take a compass & take the distance of its arms wider than half the length of $\over{AB}$ .

This is done in order to get two intersecting arcs in the top & bottom of $\over{AB}$ so that a perpendicular bisector can be drawn through it.

After two intersecting lines are drawn below & above $\over{AB}$ , draw a line joining these 2 points through their points of intersection. The point where it intersects $\over{AB}$ is the middle-most point of $\over{AB}$ & now a perpendicular bisector of $\over{AB}$ is constructed.

What is the equation of the circle with center (−3, 1) that passes through the point (−5, 3)?

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

( x + 3)^2 + ( y - 1)^2 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle with a center and a point

( x - a) ^2 + ( y - b) ^2 = r^2

( x , y) - any point on the circle

( a, b) - center of the circle

r^2 - radius of the circle

( -3 , 1) - center - ( a, b)

a = -3

b = 1

( -5 , 3) - point - ( x, y)

x = -5

y = 3

Step 1: substitute the center into the equation

( x -(-3)^2 + ( y - 1)^2 = r^2

( x + 3)^2 + ( y - 1)^2 = r^2

Step 2 : sub the point into the equation

( x + 3)^2 + ( y - 1)^2 = r^2

( -5 + 3)^2 + ( 3 - 1)^2 = r^2

(-2)^2 + 2^2 = r^2

4 + 4 = r^2

8 = r^2

Step 3 : sub the radius into the equation

( x + 3)^2 + ( y - 1)^2 = r^2

( x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 8

Therefore, the equation of the circle is

( x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 8

The following data was collected from the manufacturing of an auto component. It represents the diameter (in mm) of that compone

kari74 [83]

Answer:

14.6

Step-by-step explanation:

(A). STEP ONE: Calculate the mean

(1). Row one = (10 + 12 + 12 + 14 ) = 48/4 = 12.

(2). Row Two: (12 + 11 + 13 + 16 ) = 52/4 = 13.

(3). Row three : (11 + 13 + 14 + 14)/4 = 13.

(4). Row four: (11 + 10 + 7 + 8)/4 = 36/4 = 9.

(5). Row five: (13 +12 + 14 + 13)/4 = 52/4 = 13.

(B). STEP TWO:

- determine the maximum and minimum value for each row.

- for each row, maximum - minimum.

Maximum values for each row:

Row one = 14, row two= 16, row three = 14, row four = 11 and row five = 14.

Minimum value for each row:

Row one = 10, row two = 11, row three = 11, row four =7 and row five = 12.

DIFFERENCES in each row :

row one = 14 - 10 = 4, row two = 16 - 11 = 5, row three = 14 - 11 = 3, row four = 11 - 7 = 4 and row five = 14 -12 = 2.

(C). STEP THREE: Calculate the mean of all the rows = 60/5 = 12.

(D). STEP FOUR : Calculate the Average Range = 18/5 = 3.6.

(E). STEP FIVE : Calculate the UCL.

A = Average rage × 0.729 = 3.6 × 0.729.

B = overall mean = 12.

UCL = A + B = 14.6.
