The infant mortality rate is defined as the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births. This rate is often used as an indicato

r of the level of health in a country. The relative frequency histogram below shows the distribution of estimated infant death rates for 224 countries for which such data were available in 2014.31
(a) Estimate Q1, the median, and Q3 from the histogram.
(b) Would you expect the mean of this data set to be smaller or larger than the median? Explain your reasoning.
The graph that goes with it is in the picture.

(a)

Q1, the first quartile, 25th percentile, is greater than or equal to 1/4 of the points.  It's in the first bar so we can estimate Q1=5.   In reality the bar includes values from 0 to 9 or 10  (not clear which) and has around 37% of the points so we might estimate Q1 a bit higher as it's 2/3 of the points, say Q1=7.

The median is bigger than half the points.  First bar is 37%, next is 22%, so its about halfway in the second bar, median=15

Third bar is 11%, so 70% so far.  Four bar is 5%, so we're at the right end of the fourth bar for Q3, the third quartile, 75th percentile, say Q3=40

b

When the data is heavily skewed left like it is here, the median tends to be lower than the mean.  The 5% of the data from 80 to 120 averages around 100 so adds 5 to the mean, and 8% of the data from the 60 to 80 adds another 5.6, 15% of the data from 40 to 60 adds about 7.5, plus the rest, so the mean is gonna be way bigger than the median of around 15.

Scott wants to buy fencing to place around a circular rock garden. The diameter of the circle is 16 feet. Using 3.14 for π, Calc
denpristay [2]

Answer:

200.96 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of fencing Scott will need to buy can be gotten by calculating the area of the circular rock garden .

Area of a circle is given by

Pi r^2

Where

r = radius

Given diameter of 16 feet

r = diameter/2

= 16/2

= 8 feet

Pi = 3.14

Therefore,

Area = 3.14 x 8^2

= 3.14 x 8 x 8

= 200.96 square feet

The amount of fencing Scott will need to buy is 200.96square feet

Francisco needed to get his computer fixed. He took it to the repair
grin007 [14]

Answer:

  $95 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of charges is the sum of the cost of labor and the cost of parts. The cost of labor is the product of hours (5) and the cost per hour (x). Then the equation for total cost is ...

  total cost = parts cost + hours cost

  651 = 176 + 5x

  475 = 5x . . . . . . . subtract 176

  95 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The cost of labor per hour is $95.

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

A fraction is a non-integer. It is made up of numerators and denominators. A mixed fraction is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. An example is 2 1/2.

<h3>What is the total change in the water?</h3>

The total change in the water = -1 1/4 x 2 1/2

= -5/4 x 5/2 = -25/8 = -3 1/8
