An entrepreneur faces many bureaucratic and legal hurdles when starting a new business. The World Bank collects information abou

t starting businesses throughout the world. They have determined the time, in days, to complete all of the procedures required to start a business. The data for business start time, in days, for a sample of 24 countries is given. Data Set
13 66 36 12 8 27 6 7 5 7 52 48
15 7 12 94 28 5 13 60 5 5 18 18
The total for the given data is 567 days.
Later, we realize that we had not included the data for the South American country of Suriname in the sample. The start time for Suriname is 694 days.
a) What is the mean of the sample data including the country of Suriname? Give your answer to two decimal place.
b) Find the median time to start a business for 24 countries in our data set:
c) Which measure do you prefer for describing the center of this distribution? Explain your answer.
d) Compute the quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3), and find the IQR for these data. Are there outliers in the time to start a business data set? If so, identify and name any outliers.
e) Compute the standard deviation of time to start a business for 24 countries in the data set:
f) Which measure do you prefer for describing the spread of this distribution? Explain your answer.
g) Make a boxplot for these data and explain & describe the distribution using only the information in the boxplot.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Rearranged data:

5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 12, 12, 13, 13, 15, 18, 18, 27, 28, 36, 48, 52, 60, 66, 94

Start time for Suriname = 694

Mean = ΣX / n

Mean = (567 + 694) / (24 + 1) = 1261 / 25 = 50.44

B.) median start Time for initial 24 values

0.5(n+1)th term

0.5(25) = 12.5th term

(13 + 13) / 2 = 13

C.) preferred measure of center for the distribution will be the median as it shapes well in the middle of the distribution. The mean is overestimated

d) Compute the quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3), and find the IQR for these data. Are there outliers in the time to start a business data set? If so, identify and name any outliers.

Using calculator :

Lower quartile Q1 --> 7

Median Q2 --> 13

Upper quartile Q3 --> 42

IQR = (Q3 - Q1) = 42 - 7 = 35

OUTLIER:

Lower bound : Q1 - 1.5(IQR) ; 7 - 1.5(35) = - 45.5

Upper bound : Q3 + 1.5(IQR) = 42 + 1.5(35) = 94.5

Outlier : values below - 45.5 and above 94.5

Hence, Surimanes start time is the only Outlier.

e)

Standard deviation for 24 countries :

Standard deviation = sqrt[Σ(X - mean)^2 / (N - 1)]

Usibg calculator :

Standard deviation for the 24 countries is 23.83

f)

Standard deviation

Construct a polynomial function with the stated properties. Reduce all fractions to lowest terms. Third-degree, with zeros of −3
RSB [31]

Answer:

\Large \boxed{-\dfrac{5}{4}(x+3)(x+1)(x-2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Based on the indication, we can write this polynomial as below, k being a real number that we will have to identify (degree = 3 and we have three zeroes -3, -1, and 2).

   \Large \boxed{k(x+3)(x+1)(x-2)}

We know that the point (1,10) is on the graph of this function, so we can say.

k(1+3)(1+1)(1-2)=10}\\\\4*2*(-1)*k=10\\\\-8k=10\\\\k=\dfrac{10}{-8}=-\dfrac{5}{4}

Then the solution is:

\large \boxed{-\dfrac{5}{4}(x+3)(x+1)(x-2)}

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

In a list of five consecutive odd integers, the sum of the first and double the last is 139. What is the largest sum?
Leviafan [203]

Answer: 49

Step-by-step explanation:

From your question, I think you mean the largest number. The answer is given below.

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be:

a, a+2, a+4, a+6 and a+8.

Thee sum of the first and double the last is 139. This can be written as:

a + 2(a+8) = 139

a + 2a + 16 = 139

3a + 16 = 139

3a = 139 - 16

3a = 123

a = 123/3

a = 41

The first number = 41

The largest number = a+8 = 41 + 8 = 49.
