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.

The two-way table is attached.

We know that 63 people took the survey, and 22 of them were left-handed.  This means that 63-22=41 of them are right handed.

Out of the 63 total, 37 are left brain dominant; this means that 63-37=26 are right brain dominant.

Of the 26 that are right brain dominant, 21 are right handed; this means 26-21=5 are left handed.

Of the 22 left-handed people, 5 are right brain dominant; this means 22-5 = 17 are left brain dominant.

Of the 37 left brain dominant people, 17 are left handed; this means 37-17=20 are right handed.

Find the circumference of a circle that has a diameter of 5. Use 22/7 for pi
anastassius [24]
The circumference of a circle is 2 \pi r since the radius is half of the diameter we can substitute the diameter instead of using 2r. So we get \pi d The we can substitute the given diameter, which is 5 and multiply it by \frac{22}{7} and get \frac{110}{7}.
