Answer:

(A) The 25th percentile is 20.

(B) The mean of the data set is 20 and the median of the data set is 25. The data set is left-skewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set arranged in ascending order is:

S = {15, 20, 22, 25, 28, 40, 55}

(A)

Compute the 25th percentile as follows:

25^{th} \text{Percentile}=[\frac{n+1}{4}]^{th}obs.\\\\=[\frac{7+1}{4}]^{th}obs.\\\\=2^{nd}obs.\\\\=20

Thus, the 25th percentile is 20. This value implies that exactly 25% of the observations are less than 20.

(B)

Compute the sample mean as follows:

\text{Mean}=\frac{22+25+20+15+40+55+28}{7}=\frac{205}{7}=29.29

Compute the median as follows:

For a set with odd number of observations, the median value if the middle value.

The middle value is 25.

Thus, the mean of the data set is 20 and the median of the data set is 25.

The Mean < Median.

This implies that the data set is left-skewed.

How many solutions does the equation x_1 +x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5=21 have where x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, and x_5 are nonnegative integers and
omeli [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} + x_{4} + x_{5} = 21\\     (given)

Let us consider :

x_{1} = t_{1} + 1

x_{2} = t_{2}

x_{3} = t_{3}

x_{4}  = t_{4}

x_{5} = t_{5}

Now, by substituting the above considerations in the above equation, we get:

t_{1} + 1 + t_{2} + t_{3} + t_{4} + t_{5} = 21\\

t_{1}  + t_{2} + t_{3} + t_{4} + t_{5} = 20\\

where,

t_{i} \geq 1

then it follows

n = 20

r = 4

then no. of solutions for the eqn = _{r}^{n + r}\textrm{C}

                                                      = _{4}^{24}\textrm{C}

                                                      = 10626

Answer :

no. of solutions for the eqn 10626
