<h2>Answer:</h2>

The number of values in the upper quartile is : 10

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that our data is divided into three quartiles:

First quartile or lower quartile i.e. $Q_1$ --

It is the median of the lower set of the data.

Median or middle quartile i.e. $Q_2$ --

Median is the central tendency of the data and it always exist in the middle of the data set.

Upper quartile or Third quartile i.e. $Q_3$ --

It is the median of the upper set of data.

Now, if there are even number of data points then the median exist in between two middle values and the upper and lower set of data takes half the data values.

Here we have number of data points as: 20

This means that the median of the data is between 10th and 11 th value i.e. 10.5

Hence, the lower set of data will have: 10 values

and the upper set of the data has: 10 values.

A scientist measures a substance to be 0.8 grams. Calculate the percent of error in the measurement. Show all work for full cred

Volgvan

You'll need to give a bit more information for the question to be answered. You can only calculate the percentage of error if you know what the mass of the substance *should be* and what you've *measured* it to be.

In other words, if a substance has a mass of 0.55 grams and you measure it to be 0.80 grams, then the percent of error would be:

percent of error = { | measured value - actual value | / actual value } x 100%

So, in this case:

percent of error = { | 0.80 - 0.55 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = { | 0.25 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = 0.4545 x 100%
percent of error = 45.45%

So, in order to calculate the percent of error, you'll need to know what these two measurements are. Once you know these, plug them into the formula above and you should be all set!

A farmer has both pigs and chickens on his farm there are 78 fee and 27 heads how many pigs and how many chickens are there

Andre45 [30]

Assuming health non-mutated animals:
$Feet = 4*Pigs + 2*Chickens$
$Heads = Pigs + Chickens$

By back substitution:
$78 = 4*(27-Chickens) + 2*Chickens$
$78 = 108 -2*Chickens$
$-30 = -2*Chickens$
$Chickens= 15$

Then:
$27 = Pigs + 15$
$Pigs = 12$

To check:
$Feet = 4*Pigs + 2*Chickens$
$78 = 4*12 + 2*15$
$78 = 48 + 30$
$78 = 78$ CHECKS
