How to find interquartilte range

<h3>Answer:  Choice C) 8.5</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

Each x represents a data point location.

So, for example, having an x over 60 means 60 is part of the set.

The set of values we're working with is

{59,60,61,63,63,64,66,68,70,71,71,73}

The repeated values are due to the fact we have a stack of two 'x' markers, and they occur at 63 and 71.

To find the IQR (interquartile range), we'll first need to find the median of this set. That's the middle most value.

Count out the number of values to find that there are n = 12 values.

The list splits into two halves that are n/2 = 12/2 = 6 items each

Between slots 6 and 7 is where the median is located.

The value in slot 6 is 64 and the value in slot 7 is 66. Average those two items to get (64+66)/2 = 65

The median is 65

---------------------------------

Next, we'll form two groups L and U such that

L = set of items lower than the median

U = set of items larger than the median

Because n is even, we simply just break the original set into two equal groups (6 items each)

L = {59,60,61,63,63,64}

U = {66,68,70,71,71,73}

The values of Q1 and Q3 represent the medians of L and U in that order.

The median of set L is (61+63)/2 = 62, so Q1 = 62

The median of set U is (70+71)/2 = 70.5, which is Q3

-----------------------------------

To summarize everything so far, we have found

  • Q1 = 62
  • Q3 = 70.5

Subtract those items to get the IQR

IQR = Q3 - Q1

IQR = 70.5 - 62

IQR = 8.5 which points us to choice C as the final answer.

If we plug in 0 for x, we can receive the data for the year 1982. Doing so shows us that the Rural area was 1,417.4 million acres and the total area was 1,839.4 million acres. Therefore, we can conclude that the majority of the area of the United States was rural in 1982.

o-na [289]

This question s incomplete, the complete question is;

The Watson family and the Thompson family each used their sprinklers last summer. The Watson family's sprinkler was used for 15 hours. The Thompson family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours.

There was a combined total output of 1050 of water. What was the water output rate for each sprinkler if the sum of the two rates was 55L per hour  

Answer:

The Watson family sprinkler is 40 L/hr while Thompson family sprinkler is 15 L/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

let water p rate for Watson family and the Thompson family sprinklers be represented by x and y respectively

so

x + y = 55  ----------------equ1

x = 55 - y ------------------qu2

also

15x + 30y = 1050

x + 2y = 70 --------------equ3

input equ2 into equ3

(55 - y) + 2y = 70

- y + 2y = 70 - 55

y = 15

input value of y into equ1

x + 15 = 55

x = 55 - 15

x = 40

Therefore, The Watson family sprinkler is 40 L/hr while Thompson family sprinkler is 15 L/hr
