Answer:  i) Reasonably symmetric

=============================================================

Explanation:

The data set is

35,40,45,49,51,54,57,58,58,64,68,68,75,77

Erase the outer pair of values (35 and 77) to end up with this smaller set

40,45,49,51,54,57,58,58,64,68,68,75

Repeat and erase off the outer values (40 and 75) to end up with

45,49,51,54,57,58,58,64,68,68

Keep going until we have either one or two elements left

  • 49,51,54,57,58,58,64,68
  • 51,54,57,58,58,64
  • 54,57,58,58
  • 57,58

At this point, we see that the center is between these two last values. So the median is (57+58)/2 = 57.5

--------------------------------

The center is at 57.5

Let L = {35,40,45,49,51,54,57} consist of the set of numbers lower than the median

Let U = {58,58,64,68,68,75,77} be the upper set of values larger than the median.

The middle of set L is 49 and the middle of set U is 68. So Q1 and Q3 are 49 and 68 respectively.

From that, we see the IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 68-49 = 19

Let A and B be the lower and upper fence

We would then say

A = Q1 - 1.5*IQR = 49-1.5*19 = 20.5

B = Q3 + 1.5*IQR = 68 + 1.5*19 = 96.5

Notice how all of the given data values are between A = 20.5 and B = 96.5, which means we don't have any outliers.

Furthermore, if we plotted a box-and-whisker plot (see below), we can see that the two whiskers are fairly the same length. It's not perfect but they're reasonably symmetric. Similarly, the median is somewhat in the middle of the box itself. So this gives a rough idea that the data set we're dealing with is fairly symmetric.

More confirmation can be in the form of a histogram which is also part of the image below. This histogram is fairly symmetric as the left half is nearly (not perfectly) a mirror image of the right half, and vice versa. No one side pulls too far out to create a highly skewed distribution.

There are 24 people using a gun. the ratio of men to women is 2 : 1. how many men are using the gym
Arada [10]

The number of men using the gun is <u>8</u>, using the given ratio of men to women as 2:1.

In the question, we are given that the ratio of men to women using a gun is 2:1, and a total of 24 people use a gun.

We are asked to find the number of men using the gun.

By the given ratio, we take the number of men using a gun to be 2x, whereas the number of women using a gun is x.

Thus, the total number of people using the gun = the number of men using a gun + the number of women using the gun,

or, the total number of people using the gun = 2x + x = 3x.

But, the total number of people using the gun is given to be 24.

Thus, we get an equation 3x = 24.

On solving this, we get:

3x = 24,

or, 3x/3 = 24/3,

or, x = 8.

Now, the number of men using a gun = 2x = 2*8 = 16.

The number of women using a gun = x = 8.

Thus, the number of men using the gun is <u>8</u>, using the given ratio of men to women as 2:1.
