Answer:

Mean and IQR

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of centre gives the central or the measure which gives the best mid term of a distribution. Based in the details of the box plot, the median is the value which divides the box in the box plot.

For company A:

Range = 25 to 80 with a median value at 30 ; this means the median does not give a good centre measure of the distribution ad it is very close to the minimum value. This goes for the Company B plot too; with values ranging from (35 to 90) and the median designated at 40.

Hence, the mean will be the best measure of centre rather Than the median in this case.

For the variability, the interquartile range would best suit the distribution. With the lower quartile and upper quartile both having reasonable width to the minimum and maximum value of the distribution.

At the last basketball game ,12 out of the first 48 people who entered the stands were wearing a coat. if this sample is represe

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: attending the game

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 12 out of the first 48 people who entered the stands were wearing a coat.

That means, Proportion of people wearing coat = $\dfrac{12}{48}=\dfrac{1}{4}$ (People wearing coat divided by Total people)

Total people in the sample attending the game= 200

Number of people wearing a coat = $200\times\dfrac14$

$=50$

Hence, 50 people are wearing a coat.

Answer:

The required equation is: $\mathbf{f(x)=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equation from the table given

We can write equation in the form of $y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope

We can used the slope formula to find slope: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the table we have: $x_1=3, y_1=-5, x_2=7, y_2=-2$

Putting values and finding slope

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-2-(-5)}{7-3} \\Slope=\frac{-2+5}{7-3}\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

So, we get slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$

Now, finding y-intercept

Using the slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$ and point (3,-5) we can find y-intercept

$y=mx+b\\-5=\frac{3}{4}(3)+b\\-5=\frac{9}{4}+b\\b=-5-\frac{9}{4}\\b=\frac{-5*4-9}{4}\\b=\frac{-20-9}{4}\\b=\frac{-29}{4}$

The y-intercept is $b=\frac{-29}{4}$

So, the equation having slope $m=\frac{3}{4}$ and y-intercept $b=\frac{-29}{4}$ will be:

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}$

The required equation is: $\mathbf{f(x)=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{29}{4}}$
