Mystery Boxes: Breakout Rooms

Answer:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {3} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {57} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {[ \ ]} \\ \end{array}$

Required

Fill in the box

From the question, the range is:

$Range = 60$

Range is calculated as:

$Range = Highest - Least$

From the box, we have:

$Least = 1$

So:

$60 = Highest - 1$

$Highest = 60 +1$

$Highest = 61$

The box, becomes:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question:

$IQR = 20$ --- interquartile range

This is calculated as:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$Q_3$ is the median of the upper half while $Q_1$ is the median of the lower half.

So, we need to split the given boxes into two equal halves (7 each)

Lower half:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {[ \ ] } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } \\ \end{array}$

Upper half

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

The quartile is calculated by calculating the median for each of the above halves is calculated as:

$Median = \frac{N + 1}{2}th$

Where N = 7

So, we have:

$Median = \frac{7 + 1}{2}th = \frac{8}{2}th = 4th$

So,

$Q_3$ = 4th item of the upper halves

$Q_1$ = 4th item of the lower halves

From the upper halves

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

We have:

$Q_3 = 32$

$Q_1$ can not be determined from the lower halves because the 4th item is missing.

So, we make use of:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

Where $Q_3 = 32$ and $IQR = 20$

So:

$20 = 32 - Q_1$

$Q_1 = 32 - 20$

$Q_1 = 12$

So, the lower half becomes:

Lower half:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12 } & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } \\ \end{array}$

From this, the updated values of the box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {[ \ ] } & {[ \ ]} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question, the median is:

$Median = 22$ and $N = 14$

To calculate the median, we make use of:

$Median = \frac{N + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{14 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{15}{2}th$

$Median = 7.5th$

This means that, the median is the average of the 7th and 8th items.

The 7th and 8th items are blanks.

However, from the question; the mode is:

$Mode = 18$

Since the values of the box are in increasing order and the average of 18 and 18 do not equal 22 (i.e. the median), then the 7th item is:

$7th = 18$

The 8th item is calculated as thus:

$Median = \frac{1}{2}(7th + 8th)$

$22= \frac{1}{2}(18 + 8th)$

Multiply through by 2

$44 = 18 + 8th$

$8th = 44 - 18$

$8th = 26$

The updated values of the box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

From the question.

$Mean = 26$

Mean is calculated as:

$Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$26= \frac{1 + 2nd + 4 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 26 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 12th + 58 + 61}{14}$

Collect like terms

$26= \frac{ 2nd + 12th+1 + 4 + 12 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 26 + 29 + 30 + 32 + 58 + 61}{14}$

$26= \frac{ 2nd + 12th+304}{14}$

Multiply through by 14

$14 * 26= 2nd + 12th+304$

$364= 2nd + 12th+304$

This gives:

$2nd + 12th = 364 - 304$

$2nd + 12th = 60$

From the updated box,

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {[ \ ]} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {[ \ ]} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

We know that:

The 2nd value can only be either 2 or 3

The 12th value can take any of the range 33 to 57

Of these values, the only possible values of 2nd and 12th that give a sum of 60 are:

$2nd = 3$

$12th = 57$

i.e.

$2nd + 12th = 60$

$3 + 57 = 60$

So, the complete box is:

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccccccc}{1} & {3} & {4} & {12} & {15} & {18}& {18 } & {26} & {29} & {30} & {32} & {57} & {58} & {61} \\ \end{array}$

NISA [10]

The y-intercept of the given table is 2000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the table in the ascending order.

From the table, calculate the rise and run to find the slope of the line.

$rise=y_2-y_1.\\run =x_2-x_1.$

Choose points (0,2000) and (1,1800).

rise= -200 and run=1.

Slope m = -200.

The line equation is y=mx+c.

Apply the slop value in the equation,

y= -200x+c.

To find the y-intercept substitute a value in the above equation.

Substitute(1,1800),

1800 = -200(1)+c.

2000=c.

y= -200x+2000.

The y-intercept is the point where the line passes through in the vertical y-axis at the origin.
