Answer:

Q1 = 30.25 minutes

Q2 = 42.5 minutes

Q3 = 40 minutes  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, In Question

  • The stem and leaf diagram (key 2 I 1)

Stem | Leaves

2        |  1 3 5 5 5 8

3        |  1 5 6 7 8 9

4        |  2 3 4 6 6 6 8

5        |  2 2 4 5 7 7 8

  • We need to find the quartiles Q1, Q2 and Q3. We know that,

Q1 = (1/4)*(n+1)th value

Q2 = (1/2)*(n+1)th value

Q3 = (3/4)*(n+1)th value

where n is the total number of co-workers 26.

  • So, Q1 = (1/4)*(26+1)th value

             Q1 = 6.75th value

we need to count the leaves in the plot starting from the first one until we reach the 6.75th value. So, by counting, we conclude that the 6.75th value lies between the 6th and 7th value i.e. 28 and 31.

Q1 = 28 + (31-28)*0.75

    = 28 + 2.25

Q1 = 30.25 minutes

  • Now, Q2 = (1/2) * (26+1)th value

                       = 13.5th value.

From the plot, we find that the 13.5th value lies in the middle of the 13th and 14th values i.e. 42 and 43. So,

Q2 = (42+43)/2

     = 85/2  

Q2 = 42.5 minutes

  • And, Q3 = (3/4)*(26+1)th value

                      = 20.25th value

From the plot. we find that the 20.25th value lies somewhere between the 20th and 21st value i.e. 52 and 52. So,

Q3 = 40 + (52-52)*0.25

    = 40 + 0

Q3 = 40 minutes

How do you work this problem
ankoles [38]
 An easy way is to do it, if you get confused by multiplying fractions, is by turning the fractions into decimals. Since you are trying to find N you want to multiply the 1/5 by the 1/3.

1/5 = 0.2

1/3 = 0.33333333333333333333333333333333

 if you multiply those you get 0.06666666666666666666666666666667 which when put into a fraction it equals 1/15



but if you don't want to do that just try to remember that you want to get by itself. and when multiplying fractions in this situation the bottom numbers only matter.. so 5 x 3 = 15  1/15

would you like me to put it in a document to show you?

How do you find the area of a circle with the circumference?
Naya [18.7K]
Circumference = 2*pi*radius

find the radius using this formula.
 
then use this formula => area of circle = pi*radius*radius 

put the value of the radius that you get with the first formula to find the area

hope it helps you

Answer:

SA = 615.4 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area (SA) of a sphere is calculated as

SA = 4πr² ← r is the radius

Here diameter = 14, thus r = 14 ÷ 2 = 7, then

SA = 4π × 7² = 4π × 49 = 196π = 196 × 3.14 ≈ 615.4 yd²

I need to know exactly how to write "find the equation of the line below"
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

y = -4/5x + 14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Point (6,-2) and (-4,6)

Slope = (6- - 2) / (-4-6) = 8 / -10 = - 4/5

(The slope is negative because La línea is going downhill. Uphill is positive)

You can also find the slope in the graph: rise/run.

y-intersect (any point)

Point (6, -2) (any point)

y-Intercept: -2 - (-4/5)(6) = -2 + 24/5 = 14/5
