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.

A circle is cut into congruent sections and arranged to form a figure that approximates a parallelogram. Find the approximate he
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

<h2>The height is 3.43 centimeters, approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there are 16 pieces from the circle, which means each sector has an angle of

\theta = \frac{360\°}{16}=22.5\°

Where all sectors have equal area.

Now, the area of the whole circle is 12.25 \pi \ cm^{2}, if we use the formula of its area, we'll find the radius of the circle

A= \pi r^{2}\\ 12.25\pi = \pi r^{2}\\ r=\sqrt{12.25} \approx  3.5

Notice that each piece works as an isosceles triangle, because each side is the radius, that is, they have the same length. So far, we know the sides of the isosceles triangle and one internal angle.

To find the height of the one piece, we need to use trigonometric reasons, because the height divides a triangle in two equal right triangles.

cos(11.25\°)=\frac{h}{3.5}\\ h=3.5 \times cos(11.25 \°)\\h \approx 3.43

Therefore, the height is 3.43 centimeters, approximately.
