Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second term and divide by the first

9/27 = 1/3

Take the third term and divide by the second

3/9 = 1/3

Check each subsequent ratio, we can see the common ratio is 1/3

Write the ratio of apples to oranges in simplest form please explain. Thanks

Nadya [2.5K]

There are 6 apples and 2 oranges.
So the ratio of apples to oranges would be 6:2.
However this can be simplified, because these number have a common factor, which is 2. So you divide 2 by 2, and 6 by 2, and get 1 and 3. So the ratio of apples to oranges in simplified form is 1:3. Hope this explains it :)

Consider the two data sets below:

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Option c) The data sets will have the same values of their interquartile range.

Explanation:

1. The values are in order: they are in increasing oder, from lowest to highest value.

2. Calculate the interquartile range.

Interquartile range, IQR, is the third quartile, Q3, less the first quartile Q1:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

To find the first and the third quartile, first find the median:

Data Set 1: 19, 25, 35, 38, 41, 49, 50, 52, 59

[19, 25, 35, 38], 41, [49, 50, 52, 59]

↑

median = 41

Data Set 2: 19, 25, 35, 38, 41, 49, 50, 52, 99

[19, 25, 35, 38] , 41, [49, 50, 52, 99]

↑

median = 41

Now find the median of each subset: the values below the median and the values above the median.

Data set 1: First quartile

[19, 25, 35, 38],

↑

Q1 = [25 + 35] / 2 = 30

Third quartile

[49, 50, 52, 59]

↑

Q3 = [50 + 52] / 2 = 51

IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 51 - 30 = 21

Data set 2: First quartile

[19, 25, 35, 38]

↑

Q1 = [25 + 35] / 2= 30

Third quartile

[49, 50, 52, 99]

↑

Q3 = [52 + 50]/2 = 51

IQR = 51 - 30 = 21

Thus, it is shown that the data sets have will have the same values for the interquartile range: IQR = 21. (option c)

This happens because replacing one extreme value (in this case the maximum value) by other extreme value does not affect the median.

An outlier will change the range because the range is the maximum value less the minimum value.
