Use the magnitudes​ (Richter scale) of the earthquakes listed in the data set below. Find the mean and median of this data set.

Is the magnitude of an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale an outlier​ (data value that is very far away from the​ others) when considered in the context of the sample data given in this data​ set? Explain.

Answer:

\bar x = 1.4896

Median = 1.525

7 is an outlier

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See comment for dataset

Solving (a): The mean

The mean is calculated as:

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}

So, we have:

\bar x = \frac{2.53 +1.33 +0.64 +2.55 +0.67 +0.57 +............+2.03 +1.78}{50}

\bar x = \frac{74.48}{50}

\bar x = 1.4896

Solving (b): The median

First, we sort the data:

0.01, 0.01, 0.08, 0.14, 0.24, 0.35, 0.57, 0.64, 0.65, 0.67,

0.69, 0.74, 0.81, 0.82, 0.92, 0.99, 1.01, 1.04, 1.15, 1.16, 1.33,

1.41, 1.45, 1.48, 1.52, 1.53, 1.58, 1.61, 1.62, 1.73, 1.77, 1.78, 1.84,

1.98, 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, 2.06, 2.06, 2.31, 2.41, 2.53, 2.55, 2.59,

2.66, 2.74, 2.74, 2.77, 2.77, 2.91

The median position is:

Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}

Median = \frac{50 + 1}{2}

Median = \frac{51}{2}

Median = 25.5th

This means that the median is the average of the 25th and the 26th item.

So:

Median = \frac{1.52+1.53}{2}

Median = \frac{3.05}{2}

Median = 1.525

Solving (c): Is 7 an outlier

Yes; 7 is an outlier.

Because the range of the dataset (0.01 to 2.92) is far from 7.

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

There is one variable. so it can't be two solutions. To the rest, we need to solve the equation.

5-2x=3+x-4-3x

5=3-4

5=-1

Impossible!!!

so no solution.

Hope this helps plz mark brainliest :D

A fish tank that is 5 feet long by 3 feet wide by 3 feet high has a 2 foot cubic stone placed in the bottom how much water will
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

37ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the fish tank = length × width × height = 5ft × 3ft × 3ft = 45ft³

Volume of the cubic stone = length × length × length = (2ft)³ = 8ft³

Volume of the water = volume of the fish tank - volume of the cubic stone

i.e Volume of the water = 45ft³ - 8ft³ = 37ft³

What is the ratio of red sections to total sections, in lowest terms?
Tanzania [10]

Hello there! Your answer would be 1/4.

So to start, count up the total number of sections, and the number of red sections. There are 16 sections total, and 4 of them are red.

This can give us the ratio 4/16.

But next we need to simplify. What is the biggest number that can be divided by both 4 and 16? 4. So, divide both 4 and 16 by 4 to get your simplified answer.

4÷4/16÷4

1/4

So, the ratio of red sections to total sections, in lowest terms is 1/4.
