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.

Erin opened a savings account that earns 3% simple interest. If she deposits $2,750 and doesn't make any additional deposits or
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$3,245

Step-by-step explanation:

For a money saved at Simple Interest,

Amount =Simple Interest+Principal

Principal, P=$2750

Rate, r=3%

Time, T=6 Years

Simple \: Interest= \frac{Principal X Rate X Time}{100}

= \frac{2750X 3 X 6}{100}=$495

Therefore, Amount in Erin's Account after 6 years =2750+495

=$3,245

What is 26/48 simplest form
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

13/14

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF between 26 and 48 is 2. So divide 26/2=12 and 48/2=13  13/14. And after that you can not simplify anymore so 13/14 is 26/48 in it's simplest form.


Hope it helps!
