Answer:

1. The interquartile range for the grade 7 data is 6.

2. The interquartile range for the grade 8 data is 6.

3. The difference of the medians of the two data sets is 2.

4. The difference is about 1/3 times the interquartile range of either data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hourly cookie sales by students in grades 7 and 8 at the school's annual bake sale is given by the following table.

Grade 7       Grade 8

  20                  21

  15                  29

  30                  14

  24                  19

   18           24

   21                 25

The data set for grade 7 is

20, 15, 30, 24, 18, 21

Arrange the data in ascending order.

15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 30

Divide the data in four equal parts.

(15), 18, (20), (21), 24,( 30)

Q_1=18, Median=\frac{20+21}{2}=20.5, Q_3=24

The interquartile range for the grade 7 data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=24-18=6

Therefore the interquartile range for the grade 7 data is 6.

The data set for grade 8 is

21, 29, 14, 19, 24, 25

Arrange the data in ascending order.

14, 19, 21, 24, 25, 29

Divide the data in four equal parts.

(14), 19, (21), (24), 25, (29)

Q_1=19, Median=\frac{21+24}{2}=22.5, Q_3=25

The interquartile range for the grade 8 data is

IQR=Q_3-Q_1=25-19=6

Therefore the interquartile range for the grade 8 data is 6.

The difference of the medians of the two data sets is

D=22.5-20.5=2

Therefore the difference of the medians of the two data sets is 2.

Let the difference is about x times the interquartile range of either data set.

The IQR of each data is 6.

D=x(IQR)

2=x(6)

\frac{2}{6}=x

\frac{1}{3}=x

Therefore the difference is about 1/3 times the interquartile range of either data set.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, -5) and (-1, 1)?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: y=6x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, we want to find the slope with the formula m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

m=\frac{1-(-5)}{-1-(-2)} =\frac{6}{1}=6

Now that we know th eslope, we can start to fill out the equation. To find the y-intercept, we can plug in a given point and solve.

y=6x+b

1=6(-1)+b             [multiply]

1=-6+b                 [add both sides by 6]

b=7

Now, we know the equation is y=6x+7.

27^4–9^5 3^9 is divisible by 25
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

If you mean

  27^4 - 9^5·3^9 = -1161730026

it has no factors of 5, so cannot be divisible by 25.

__

If you mean ...

  (27^4 -9^5)/3^9 = ((3^3)^4 -(3^2)^5)/3^9 = 3^10(3^2 -1)/3^9 = 3(9-1) = 24

it is not divisible by 25, either.

One triangle shown is formed by the tree, its shadow, and a line of sight from the ground to the top of the tree. The other is f
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the proportion

Shadow /Height

From the question:.

Manny's shadow = 414 feet

Manny's Height = 512 feet

Height of the tree = ? = x

Shadow of the tree = 17 feet

Hence:

414/512 = 17/ x

Cross Multiply

414 × x = 512 × 17

x = 512 × 17/414

x = 21.024154589 feet

x ≈ Approximately = 21 feet

The height of the tree = 21 feet

Divide the number 480 in a ratio of 3:5
Schach [20]

If it is a ratio of 3:5 you are dividing 480 into 8 parts (3+5).


So divide 480 by 8: 480/8 = 60


Then the ratio is (3x60):(5x60) or 180:300


To check it is correct, add up the two parts to see that they come to 480:


180+300 = 480. All good.


Hope this helps
