I believe you need to solve this using the quadratic formula!
To begin, this is what it is:
x= -b ± <span>√ b^2 - 4ac / 2a
Just plug in what you have in your problem...
2 being a, 13 being b, and -24 being c.
So we get:
x= -13 </span>± <span>√13^2 - 4(2)(-24) / 2(2)
x= -13 </span><span>± √169 - 8 (-24) / 4</span>
<span>x= -13 <span>± √169 + 192 / 4</span>
x= -13 </span>± √<span>361 / 4
The square root of 361 is 19.
So you have: -13 </span><span>± 19 / 4.
Here's where you take the equation </span>-13 <span>± 19 and put the addition and subtraction sign to use.
-13 - 19 = -32
and
-13 + 19 = 6
Now all is left to do is divide the two numbers by 4.
-32/4 = -8
and
6/4 = 3/2
x = -8, 3/2</span>
Center : Mean Before the introduction of the new course, center = average(121,134,106,93,149,130,119,128) = 122.5 After the introduction of the new course, center = average(121,134,106,93,149,130,119,128,45) = 113.9 The center has moved to the left (if plotted in a graph) because of the low intake for the new course. Spread before introduction of the new course : Arrange the numbers in ascending order: (93, 106,119, 121), (128, 130,134, 149) Q1=median(93,106,119,121) = 112.5 Q3=median(128,130,134,149) = 132 Spread = Interquartile range = Q3-Q1 = 19.5 After addition of the new course,
(45,93, 106,119,) 121, (128, 130,134, 149)
Q1=median(45,93,106,119)=99.5
Q3=median (128, 130,134, 149)= 132
Spread = Interquartile range = 132-99.5 =32.5
We see that the spread has increased after the addition of the new course.
