Mystery Boxes: Breakout Rooms

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {3} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {57} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {[ \ ]} \\ \end{array}$

Required

Fill in the box

From the question, the range is:

$Range = 60$

Range is calculated as:

$Range = Highest - Least$

From the box, we have:

$Least = 1$

So:

$60 = Highest - 1$

$Highest = 60 +1$

$Highest = 61$

The box, becomes:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question:

$IQR = 20$ --- interquartile range

This is calculated as:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$Q_3$ is the median of the upper half while $Q_1$ is the median of the lower half.

So, we need to split the given boxes into two equal halves (7 each)

Lower half:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } \\ \end{array}$

Upper half

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

The quartile is calculated by calculating the median for each of the above halves is calculated as:

$Median = \frac{N + 1}{2}th$

Where N = 7

So, we have:

$Median = \frac{7 + 1}{2}th = \frac{8}{2}th = 4th$

So,

$Q_3$ = 4th item of the upper halves

$Q_1$ = 4th item of the lower halves

From the upper halves

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

We have:

$Q_3 = 32$

$Q_1$ can not be determined from the lower halves because the 4th item is missing.

So, we make use of:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

Where $Q_3 = 32$ and $IQR = 20$

So:

$20 = 32 - Q_1$

$Q_1 = 32 - 20$

$Q_1 = 12$

So, the lower half becomes:

Lower half:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12 } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } \\ \end{array}$

From this, the updated values of the box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question, the median is:

$Median = 22$ and $N = 14$

To calculate the median, we make use of:

$Median = \frac{N + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{14 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{15}{2}th$

$Median = 7.5th$

This means that, the median is the average of the 7th and 8th items.

The 7th and 8th items are blanks.

However, from the question; the mode is:

$Mode = 18$

Since the values of the box are in increasing order and the average of 18 and 18 do not equal 22 (i.e. the median), then the 7th item is:

$7th = 18$

The 8th item is calculated as thus:

$Median = \frac{1}{2}(7th + 8th)$

$22= \frac{1}{2}(18 + 8th)$

Multiply through by 2

$44 = 18 + 8th$

$8th = 44 - 18$

$8th = 26$

The updated values of the box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question.

$Mean = 26$

Mean is calculated as:

$Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$26= \frac{1 + 2nd + 4 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 26 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 12th + 58 + 61}{14}$

Collect like terms

$26= \frac{ 2nd + 12th+1 + 4 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 26 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 58 + 61}{14}$

$26= \frac{ 2nd + 12th+304}{14}$

Multiply through by 14

$14 * 26= 2nd + 12th+304$

$364= 2nd + 12th+304$

This gives:

$2nd + 12th = 364 - 304$

$2nd + 12th = 60$

From the updated box,

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

We know that:

The 2nd value can only be either 2 or 3

The 12th value can take any of the range 33 to 57

Of these values, the only possible values of 2nd and 12th that give a sum of 60 are:

$2nd = 3$

$12th = 57$

i.e.

$2nd + 12th = 60$

$3 + 57 = 60$

So, the complete box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {3} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {57} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

I need help What is the surface area of the following figure? A 168 B 192 PLEASE HELP

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

305 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is always to break up the problem into parts and write out our formulas- in this case, let's solve the easier part first, the bottom rectangular box type shape.

Area of a square or rectangle: A= length * height

Area of a triangle: A = 1/2 * length * height

Each side is 6x2, making each side 12 in^2, times four sides equals 48 in^2

The box also has a bottom, with dimensions of 6x6, equaling 36 in^2. be careful not to include the top, it may be included in this part of the problem that we're splitting up, but it's not in the actual figure.

Next up is the top portion- let's calculate the two triangular sides first. again, A=(1/2)l*h . so, these triangles are (1/2) * 5 * 4 , or 10 in^2 . With two triangular sides that's 20 in^2 total.

And now we only have two sides left, the rectangular parts of the triangular prism. They have a dimension of 5*6, equalling 30, and with two sides its a total of 60 in^2.

All of these sides can be added together:

48 + 36 + 20 + 60 = 305 in^2
