Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a table that represents the the number of electoral votes California was assigned each decade of the past century. We are asked to find the 3rd quartile of our given data.
The number of votes are: 9, 13, 13, 22, 25, 32, 40, 45, 47, 54, 55.
We will use upper quartile formula to solve our given problem.
, where, n represents the number of elements in the data set.
We can see that our data set has 11 data points, so upon substituting n=11 in above formula we will get,
Now let us count 9th term of our data set. Upon counting our data set from left to right we can see that 9th term of our data set is 47, therefore, 3rd quartile of our given data is 47 and option D is the correct choice.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Make sure all your denominators are the same, you can do this by multiplying them all by 3 or 7, 2 and 1/3 would become 2 7/21, 3/7 would become 9/21, 2 and 1/3, would become 2 and 7/21, and so on and so forth, leaving us with
2+
/ 2
* 1
2. Now, I would go and solve each side of the equation because we divide them, we can add 2 and
together to get 2
, because 7 + 9 = 16
2 / 2
* 1
3. We can do the same thing to the other side, by multiplying the two of them. I'm going to convert both of them to just fractions, 2 becomes
and 1
becomes
*
Now we can reduce them, and for our first fraction divide the top and bottom by 7, giving us and the second one by 3, which gives us
*
now we cross divide, where we replace the 7's with ones because they're right across from each other to get
and
, or just 10.
* 10 =
4. So now we can do a similar thing with the first half of our equation and convert it into a fraction and not a mixed number.
/
Now we multiply divide them, and the easiest way I learned how to do this was by keep the first fraction in its place, and flipping the denominator and numerator of the second, and multiplying them.
so *
which if we multiply both sides, you get
I'll save you some times and simplify it for you, the greatest common factor is 6 so we divide the top and bottom by 6 to get
