Answer:

13 or 13.125 you have to look at your notes to see which it is. Personally I would take 13. Try that first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Be careful how you interpret this question. It reads like this.

3:8 :: x:35

In other words, the 8 and 35 females goes together.

Set this up as a proportion

3/8 = x / 35 Cross multiply

3*35 = 8x Combine the left

105 = 8x Switch

8x = 105 Divide by 8

x = 105 / 8 get the answer

x = 13.125 You cannot have 1/8 of a person. So what are you going to do?

You have to round down. x = 13. How close is this

13/35 = 0.371 as apposed to 0.375 which is what 3/8 is.

Identify the shape of the distribution, and (b) determine the five-number summary. Assume that each number in the five-numbe

1. The shape of the distribution is: B. skewed left.

2. he five-number summary is: 0, 14, 17, 18, 20.

<h3>What is Left-skewed Distribution?</h3>

If the data distribution that is represented by a box plot is left-skew (negatively skewed), the median will appear closer to the third quartile (Q3) of the box plot. The median is at the point where a vertical line divides the box into two.

Part 1: The box plot shows that the median is close to the third quartile, therefore, the shape of the distribution is described as: B. skewed left.

Part 2: The five-number summary include:

Min. value = 0

Q1 = 14

Median = 17

Q3 = 18

Max. value = 20.
