Step-by-step explanation:
Box plot is enclosed.
To find out 5 number summary
3.0, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 6.5, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 9.0, 9.0, 9.0, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5, 9.5}
Minimum: 3.0
Quartile Q1: 6.5
Median: 7
Quartile Q3: 9
Maximum: 9.5
Besides we find that
Average (mean): μ=7.25
Absolute deviation: 30.5
Mean deviation: 1.525
Minimum: 3.0
Maximum: 9.5
Variance: 3.7125
Standard deviation σ=1.926
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
