Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Wire is 4 1/2 feet, or 4.5 feet.

Each smaller wire needs to be 1 1/4 feet, or 1.25 feet.

<em>How many whole 1.25 feet wire can we have from total of 4.5 feet wire?</em>

<em />

Let's divide:

\\frac{4.5}{1.25}=3.6

<em>thus we can have 3 whole "1.25 feet long" wire and fractional amount.</em>

<em />

<em>Hence, maximum number of smaller pieces is 3</em>

Outliers are data that are relatively far from other data elements.

The dataset has an outlier and the outlier is 120

The dataset is given as:

  • 91 83 84 79 91 93 95 97 97 120 101 105 98

Sort the dataset in ascending order

  • 79 83 84 91 91 93 95 97 97 98 101 105 120

<h3>The lower quartile (Q1)</h3>

The Q1 is then calculated as:

Q1 = \frac{N +1}{4}th

So, we have:

Q1 = \frac{13 +1}{4}th

Q1 = \frac{14}{4}th

Q1 = 3.5th

This is the average of the 3rd and the 4th element

Q1 = \frac{1}{2} \times (84 + 91)

Q1 = 87.5

<h3>The upper quartile (Q3)</h3>

The Q3 is then calculated as:

Q3 =  3 \times \frac{N +1}{4}th

So, we have:

Q3 =  3 \times \frac{13 +1}{4}th

Q3 =  3 \times 3.5th

Q3 =  10.5th

This is the average of the 10th and the 11th element.

Q_3 =\frac12 \times (98 + 101)

Q_3 =99.5

<h3>The interquartile range (IQR)</h3>

The IQR is then calculated as:

IQR = Q_3 -Q_1

IQR = 99.5 - 87.5

IQR = 12

Also, we have:

IQR(1.5) = 12 \times 1.5

IQR(1.5) = 18

<h3>The outlier range</h3>

The lower and the upper outlier range are calculated as follows:

Lower = Q_1 - IQR(1.5)

Lower = 87.5- 18

Lower = 69.5

Upper = Q_3 + IQR(1.5)

Upper = 99.5 + 18

Upper = 117.5

120 is greater than 117.5.

Hence, the dataset has an outlier and the outlier is 120

Use the equation 6.25h = 100 to find h use the nuberof hours she will have to work to earn the money
Taya2010 [7]
If you just want to solve for h, as it appears, isolate h by dividing both sides of the equation by 6.25. 

That leaves h = 16.  (16 hours, presumptively).
