Answer:

The Interquartile range is 188

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing Data:

1,19,35,43,49,55,63,94,105,110,175,231,239,351,738

Required

Determine the Interquartile range (IQR)

The given data is ordered already.

First, we need to determine the median

For odd number of data

Median = ½(n + 1)th

In this case, n = 15; so

Median = ½(15 + 1)th

Median = ½(16)th

Median = 8th

This implies that the median is at the 8th position.

So, we have:

1,19,35,43,49,55,63 ----> Lower

(94) ---- Median

105,110,175,231,239,351,738 ---- Upper

Next, we determine the median of the lower and upper sets.

These are called lower quartile (Q1) and upper quartile (Q3) respectively

Lower: 1,19,35,43,49,55,63

Number of data, n = 7

Q1 = ½(n + 1)th

Q1 = ½(7 + 1)th

Q1 = ½(8)th

Q1 = 4th position

From the list of data in the lower set,

Q1 = 43

Upper: 105,110,175,231,239,351,738

Number of data, n = 7

Q3 = ½(n + 1)th

Q3 = ½(7 + 1)th

Q3 = ½(8)th

Q3 = 4th position

From the list of data in the upper set,

Q3 = 231

IQR is then calculated as thus:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 231 - 43

IQR = 188

the multiplication of a decimal less than 1 and a whole number is always smaller than the whole number, because we are taking a fraction of the whole number.

31.
the product of a decimal greater than 1 and a whole number is always greater than the whole number because we are scaling the whole number.

Jeremy and Brenda drove their cars in
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: Jeremy drove 84 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles that Brenda drove.

If Jeremy drove twice

as far as Brenda, it means that the distance covered by Jeremy would be 2x miles

When they stopped after some time, they were already

126 miles apart. This means that the total distance covered by both of them is 126 miles. Therefore,

x + 2x = 126

3x = 126

x = 126/3

x = 42 miles

The number of miles that Jeremy drove is

42 × 2 = 84 miles
