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

Find the coordinates of the points that are 5 units away from the origin and have an x-coordinate equal to 4.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(4, 3 ) and (4, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A distance of 5 units from the origin represents the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 3- 4 - 5

If the x-coordinate is 4 then the y-coordinate is | 3 | = ± 3

the coordinates are (4, 3 ) and (4, - 3 )

Please help me with this question
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

a) number 2 and 3 appeared a minimum number of times

b) number 5 appeared a maximum number of times

c) number 1, 4 and 6 appear an equal number of times (4 times). Also number 2 and 3 appear an equal number of times (1 time)

d) Even numbers turned up 9 times. The even numbers in a dice are 2 4 and 6. Add up how many times they came up: 1+4+4=9

f) Odd numbers turned up 11 times. The odd numbers in a dice are 1, 3 and 5. Add up how many times they came up: 4+1+6=11

The length of a shadow of a building is 28m. The distance from the top of the building to the shadow is 38m. Find the height of
AlexFokin [52]
It appears that the Pythagorean theorem can be applied to this problem
  (distance to shadow)² = (height of building)² + (length of shadow)²
  (38 m)² = (height of building)² + (28 m)²
  660 m² = (height of building)²
Then the height of the building is
  height of building = √660 m ≈ 25.7 m

Find 4ab when (a+b)=15 and (a-b)=12
Volgvan
A + b = 15 ..... eq 1
a – b = 12 ...... eq 2

So a = 15 – b
Substitute in eq 2 :

15 – b – b = 12
15 – 2b = 12
–2b = 12 – 15
b = 1.5

So a = 15 – 3/2 = 13.5

4ab = 4 x 13.5 x 1.5 = 81
