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.

Can someone please guide me step by step to sum the answer of the equation 5x(6)-10 ?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

30x-10

Step by Step Work:

5x(6)-10

Because 5 x 6= 30, it becomes

30x-10

Since 30x and 10 have different terms, you can not simplify any further.

So you get your answer, which is 30x-10.

At one gym, there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month, m, at the gym costs $20. At another gym, each month at the g
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

6 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Gym1

12 + 20m

Gym2

22m

Set them equal

12 +20m = 22m

Subtract 20 m from each side

12 +20m-20m = 22m-20m

12 = 2m

Divide by 2

12/2 = 2m/2

6 =m

Andrea, Justin, and Virginia went to an office supply store. Andrea bought 6 pencils, 7 markers, and 8 erasers. Her total was $1
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

x=0.25\,,\,y=1.75\,,\,z=0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,y,z denotes number of pencils, markers, erasers respectively.

For Andrea:

6x+7y+8z=15.75\,\,\,(i)

For Justin:

6x+8y+5z=16.75\,\,\,(ii)

For Virginia:

5x+5y+7z=11.75\,\,\,(iii)

On subtracting equations (i) and (ii), we get

(6x+7y+8z)-(6x+8y+5z)=15.75-16.75\\-y+3z=-1\\y-3z=1\\y=1+3z

Put y=1+3z in equation (i)

6x+7(1+3z)+8z=15.75\\6x+29z=8.75\,\,\,(iv)

Put y=1+3z in equation (iii)

5x+5(1+3z)+7z=11.75\\5x+22z=6.75\,\,\,(v)

Multiply equation (iv) by 5 and equation (v) by 6 and then subtract both the equations.

5(6x+29z)-6(5x+22z)=5(8.75)-6(6.75)\\13z=3.25\\z=\frac{3.25}{13}=0.25

Put z=0.25 in equation y=1+3z

y=1+3(0.25)=1.75

Put y=1.75\,,\,z=0.25 in equation (i)

6x+7(1.75)+8(0.25)=15.75\\6x+12.25+2=15.75\\6x=1.5\\x=0.25
