By Hand
Step 1:
Put the numbers in order.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.
Step 2:
Find the median.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.
Step 3:
Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median.
Not necessary statistically, but it makes Q1 and Q3 easier to spot.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, (12, 15, 18, 19, 27).
Step 4:
Find Q1 and Q3
Think of Q1 as a median in the lower half of the data and think of Q3 as a median for the upper half of data.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, ( 12, 15, 18, 19, 27). Q1 = 5 and Q3 = 18.
Step 5:
Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range.
18 – 5 = 13.
You move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right.
For example, the value 0.03 becomes 3%
Another example: 0.789 turns into 78.9%
Moving the decimal over 2 spots to the right is the same as multiplying by 100
To find if three number are a triangle, the formula is A^2 + B^2 = C^2. This means that when you square the lowest two terms they need to add to the square of the third number.
12^2 = 144
13^2 = 169
144 + 169 = 313
26^2 = 676
Since 313 does not equal 676 these numbers cant be the sides of a triangle.
he pays 29.59 a week
multiply that by 52 weeks in a year
29.59 * 52 = 1538.68 a year
Answer is A
