Answer: I could be wrong but id say

Genetics is the study of genes. Genes are functional units of DNA that make up the human genome. They provide the information that directs a body's basic cellular activities. Research on the human genome has shown that, on average, the DNA sequences of any two people are 99.9 percent the same. However, that 0.1 percent variation is profoundly important. t accounts for three million differences in the nearly three billion base pairs of DNA sequence. These differences contribute to visible variations, like height and hair color, and invisible traits, such as increased risk for or protection from certain diseases such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and addiction. Genetics and lifestyle factors—such as diet, physical activity, and stress—affect high blood pressure risk. NIDA research has led to discoveries about how a person's surroundings affect drug use in particular. For example, a community that provides healthy after-school activities has been shown to reduce vulnerability to drug addiction, and data show that access to exercise can discourage drug-seeking behavior, an effect that is more pronounced in males than in females.

The following table shows the number of hours some high school students in two towns spend riding the bus each week:
sergeinik [125]

Answer: Part A. The IQR for town A is 4.5 and the IQR for town B is 4.5

Part B. No, they are assymetric.

Explanation: To find the interquatile range (IQR) of each set of data, you can do as follows:

1) Put the number in each set of data in order:

A: 3 4 5 5 6 7 8 9 9 20

B: 3 3 5 5 6 8 8 9 9

2) Find the median of each town data:

For A, the median is the number 6. Coincidently, the same can be said for town B: its median is 6.

3) Find Q1, which is the median (or the middle term) of the left side of the median:

A: 3 4 5 5 (set of numbers to calculate)

B: 3 3 5 5

Now, as both set of number are even, to find the median, we have to calculate the mean of the two central numbers:

For A: Q1 = \frac{4+5}{2} = 4.5

For B: Q1 = \frac{3+5}{2} = 4

4) Find Q3, which is the median of the right side of the first median:

A: 7 9 9 20 (set of numbers to calculate)

B: 8 8 9 9

As before, the median will be the mean:

For A: Q3 = \frac{9+9}{2} = 9

For B: Q3 = \frac{8+9}{2} = 8.5

5) The IQR is the result of a subtraction:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

For A: IQR = 4.5

For B: IQR = 4.5

For the two sets of data the IQR is the same and equals 4.5.

Part B: Box plot is a type of graphic, similar to histogram. To plot it, you need 5 points but for this question, it will be analised just the symmetric aspect. As the graphic is a retangule, to be symmetric, the median or mean has to be in the center of the retangule. In the case of the towns, the box plots are assymetric because the median of each town is closer to the Q1 of each town. In other words, the retangule is not "divided" exactly in half.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 20 inches and an area of 24 square inches. What are the length and width of the rectangle?
s2008m [1.1K]
Perimeter = 2(L + W) = 20 or L + W = 10

And Area = L x W = 24

So with have the SUM "S" of 2 numbers and te PRODUCT "P' of same numbers, then

we can apply te quadratic equation X² -SX + P

X² - 10X + 24 = 0, solve this equation and you'll find L = 6 in and W = 4in

 or 4 in x 6 in

With the ocean providing over half the oxygen we breathe and being a major source of food for the world’s population, there is a critical need for action and we all have the ability to make change.
Each year, at least eight million tonnes of plastics flow into the ocean — which is equivalent to dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute. If no action is taken, this is expected to increase to two per minute by 2030 and four per minute by 2050.
It’s sad to look at this picture and NOT look at how hurt sea animals are being hurt, how this WILL affect us in the near future, maybe even affecting us right now and we are too blind to notice. It’s painful to think of these things because sooo much is being lost. I hope people can open there eyes and realize the damage they are causing.
