Step-by-step explanation:

The steps to find an outlier:

1. Put the data in numerical order.

2. Find the median.

3. Find the medians for the top and bottom parts of the data. This divides the data into 4 equal parts.

The median with the smallest value is called Q1. The median for all the values - usually just called the median is also called Q2. The median with the largest value is Q3.

4. Subtract...Q3 - Q1. This value is the InterQuartileRange or IQR. Remember that the range means taking the largest minus the smallest. This is a special range having to do with the quartiles.

5. Multiply...1.5 * IQR

6. Take your answer from #5 and do 2 things with it. A). Subtract it from Q1 and B) Additional to Q3.

7. Look at all your data points. If any are SMALLER than Q1 - 1.5 *IQR, they are outliers. If any are LARGER than Q3 + 1.5 *IQR, they are also outliers.

For your data....the median, Q2 is

(43+38)/2 = 40.5.

Q1 = (30+26)/2 = 28.

Q3 = (54+52)/2 = 53

The IQR is 53 - 28 = 25

1.5 * IQR = 37.5

Q1 - 37.5 = 28 - 37.5 = -9.5. There is no data value less than -9.5.

Q3 + 37.5 = 53 + 37.5 = 90.5. there is no data value greater than 90.5.

My conclusion is that there are no outliers in this data.

I hope this helps!

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which polynomial function has exactly 8 roots?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Fundamental theorem of Algebra states degree of the polynomial defines the number of roots of the polynomial.

8 roots means degree of the polynomial = 8

Option (1)

f(x) = (3x² - 4x - 5)(2x⁶- 5)

When we multiply (3x²) and (2x⁶),

(3x²)(2x⁶) = 6x⁸

Therefore, degree of the polynomial = 8

And number of roots = 8

Option (2)

f(x) = (3x⁴ + 2x)⁴

By solving the expression,

Leading term of the polynomial = (3x⁴)⁴

                                                     = 81x¹⁶

Therefore, degree of the polynomial = 16

And number of roots = 16

Option (3)

f(x) = (4x² - 7)³

Leading term of the polynomial = (4x²)³

                                                    = 64x⁶

Degree of the polynomial = 6

Number of roots = 6

Option (4)

f(x) = (6x⁸ - 4x⁵ - 1)(3x² - 4)

By simplifying the expression,

Leading term of the polynomial = (6x⁸)(3x²)

                                                     = 18x¹⁰

Degree of the polynomial = 10

Therefore, number of roots = 10

Given the set points K+1:(-1,8),(1,0) and (2,5), find the quadratic polynomial interpolate
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The interpolating polynomial is p(x) = 1-4x+3x^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find a quadratic polynomial p(x) such that p(-1)=8, p(1)=0 and p(2)=5. In order to do this let us write p(x) = a_0+a_1x+a_3x^2.

Now, evaluating the polynomial in the points -1, 1 and 2 we get

\begin{cases} 8 = p(-1) &= a_0-a_1+a_2\\ 0 = p(1) &= a_0+a_1+a_2\\ 5 = p(2) &= a_0+2a_1+4a_2\end{cases}

This relations give us a linear system of equations:

\begin{cases} 8 &= a_0-a_1+a_2\\ 0 &= a_0+a_1+a_2\\ 5&= a_0+2a_1+4a_2\end{cases}

where the a_0, a_1 and a_2 are the unknowns.

The augmented matrix of the system is

\begin{pmatrix}1 & -1 & 1 & 8\\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 0\\ 1 & 2 & 4 & 5\end{pmatrix}

In this matrix it is easy to eliminate the 1's of the first column and get

\begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 & 8\\ 0 & 2 & 0 & -8\\ 0 & 3 & 3 & -3\end{pmatrix}

From this matrix we can find the values of each unknown. Notice that the second row gives us 2a_2=-8 that yields a_1=-4.

Then, the third row means 3a_1+3a_2=-3 that gives -12+3a_2=-3. So, a_2=3.

Finally, the first row is a_0-a_1+a_2=8 and substituting is a_0+7=8 that yields a_0=1.

Therefore, the interpolating polynomial is

p(x) = 1-4x+3x^2.
