The median (middle number) is the second 11. So look at the first half of the numbers (7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11) and find the middle number there. Since there are 6 numbers, you average the middle two. Conveniently, they are both 9, so that is Q1. 25% of your numbers are below this mark, and 75% of your numbers are above this mark.
The diameter can be obtained by the formula A = pi*r^2
First, multiply 0.50 * 100 to obtain the area of the ball, then simplify and solve for the radius. Doubling the radius would yield the diameter. This is shown below:
Area of the ball = 0.50 * 100 = 50 in^2 <span>A = pi*r^2 </span>50 = (3.14)*r^2 r = 3.99 = approx. 4 diameter = 2r Diameter = 8 inches.
Among the choices, the correct answer is C. 8.0 in.
