Answer:

a) The third quartile Q₃ = 56.45

b) The variance = 2633.31

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The coefficient of skewness formula is given as follows;

SK = \dfrac{Q_{3}+Q_{1}-2Q_{_{2}}}{Q_{3}-Q_{1}}

Plugging in the values, we have;

-0.38 = \dfrac{Q_{3}+30.8-2 \times 48.5_{_{}}}{Q_{3}-30.8}

Solving gives Q₃ = 56.45

b) To determine the variance, we use the skewness formula as follows;

SK_{p} = \dfrac{Mean-\left (3\times Median - 2\times Mean  \right )}{\sigma } =   \dfrac{3\times\left ( Mean - Median \right )}{\sigma }

Plugging in the values, we get;

-0.38= \dfrac{42-\left (3\times 48.5- 2\times 42\right )}{\sigma } = \dfrac{-19.5}{\sigma}

\therefore \sigma =\dfrac{-19.5}{-0.38} = 51.32

The variance = σ² = 51.32² = 2633.31.

What is another way to write the equation 7/8 x+ 3/4 = -6
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

  1) 7(x/8) + 3/4 = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The term (7/8)x can be written as 7(x/8).

_____

The associative and commutative properties of multiplication let you put the factors (7)(1/8)(x) in any order or grouping you like.

Here, instead of (7·1/8)·x, the question is offering the rewrite 7(1/8·x), a straightforward application of the associative property.

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that  x^a / x^b = x^ (a-b)
