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 probability for success of an event is P(A), and the probability of success of a second, independent event is P(B). What is
Alborosie

Given:

The probability for success of an event is P(A)

The probability of success of a second, independent event is P(B).

To find:

The probability of both events occurring, in that order.

Solution:

If A and B are two independent events, then

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)

It is given that,

The probability for success of an event is P(A)

The probability of success of a second, independent event is P(B).

Since A and B both are independent event and we need to find the probability of both events occurring, in that order, i.e., P(A\cap B), therefore P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B).

Hence, the correct option is A.
