The interquartile range of a data set is 10 units. What does this represent?

1 answer:

6 0

The interquartile range is from Q1 to Q3 and to get this you have to subtract Q2 by Q3. The 10 units represent that only 10 units are fit in the given range.

Convert the polar coordinates (-3, -60°) to Cartesian coordinates.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

(1.5,-2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polar coordinates (-3,60°).

Let our Cartesian coordinates be (x,y)

#We know that when converting the rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar (r,θ), then:

$r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\therefore r^2=x^2+y^2\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}(y/x)\\\therefore tan \theta=y/x$

#Using the illustration above, we can express our polar coordinates as:

$-3=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\-60\textdegree=tan^{-1}(y/x}$

#Solve simultaneously to solve for x and y:

$(-3)^2=x^2+y^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ i\\\\tan(-0\texdegree)=y/x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii\\\\y=x\ tan(-60\textdegree)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...iii\\\\\#substitute\ y \ in\ i\\\\(-3)^2=x^2+(x \ tan (-60\textdegree))^2\\\\9=x^2+3x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{9/4}=1.5\\\\y=1.5\ tan(-60\textdegree)=-2.5981\approx-2.6$
