Y = m x + b , where m is the slope. The slope is the rise over the run or the change in x ( rooms cleaned ) over the change in y ( cost ).
125 = m * 1 + b
175 = m * 2 + b
-----------------------
b = 125 - m
175 = 2 m + 125 - m
m = 175 - 125
m = 50 ( the rate of change ), b = 75
The formula is: y = 50 x + 75
It means that the starting cost will be $75 and that for every room cleaned, the cost will rise for $50.
Fractional index means "xth root of". Negative index means a fraction. So together, what it really means is:
![\frac{1}{\sqrt[5]{32}} = \frac{1}{2}.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B32%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D.)
Median: 3
mode: 3
range: 9
interquartile range: 2
the outliers are 9 and 5. there is a cluster between 2 and 3.
