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

Answer:

  f(x)\rightarrow 1\ \text{as}\ x\rightarrow\pm\infty

Step-by-step explanation:

"End behavior" generally refers to the behavior as the independent variable (x) gets large in the positive or negative directions. Here, the curve for large magnitude x flattens out and approaches 1. So, we say ...

  f(x)\rightarrow 1\ \text{as}\ x\rightarrow\pm\infty

Cot y, if csc y =-10/3 and cos y< 0
fredd [130]
\csc y=-\dfrac{10}3\implies\sin y=-\dfrac3{10}

\cos^2y=1-\sin^2y\implies \cos y=\pm\sqrt{1-\dfrac9{100}}=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{91}}{10}

You're told that \cos y, so omit the positive root.

\cot y=\dfrac{\cos y}{\sin y}=\dfrac{-\frac{\sqrt{91}}{10}}{-\frac3{10}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{91}}3

ABCD is a parallelogram. if side AB=6x-10, side BC=4x-5, and side CD =3x+5, find the value of x
serg [7]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

If ABCD is a parallelogram, then AB = CD

AB=CD

6x-10 = 3x+5

Subtract 3x from each side

6x-3x -10 = 3x-3x+5

3x-10 = 5

Add 10 to each side

3x-10+10 = 5+10

3x = 15

Divide by 3 on each side

3x/3 =15/3

x=5
