Answer:

P_{20} = 20 --- 20th percentile

P_{25} = 21.75  --- 25th percentile

P_{65} = 27.85   --- 65th percentile

P_{75} = 29.5   --- 75th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24.

N = 8

First, arrange the data in ascending order:

Arranged data: 16, 21, 24, 24, 27, 28, 30, 33

Solving (a): The 20th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{20} = \frac{20 * 9}{100}

P_{20} = \frac{180}{100}

P_{20} = 1.8th\ item

This is then calculated as:

P_{20} = 1st\ Item +0.8(2nd\ Item - 1st\ Item)

P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*(21 - 16)

P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*5

P_{20} = 16 + 4

P_{20} = 20

Solving (b): The 25th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{25} = \frac{25 * 9}{100}

P_{25} = \frac{225}{100}

P_{25} = 2.25\ th

This is then calculated as:

P_{25} = 2nd\ item + 0.25(3rd\ item-2nd\ item)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(24-21)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(3)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.75

P_{25} = 21.75

Solving (c): The 65th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{65} = \frac{65 * 9}{100}

P_{65} = \frac{585}{100}

P_{65} = 5.85\th

This is then calculated as:

P_{65} = 5th + 0.85(6th - 5th)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(28 - 27)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(1)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85

P_{65} = 27.85

Solving (d): The 75th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{75} = \frac{75 * 9}{100}

P_{75} = \frac{675}{100}

P_{75} = 6.75th

This is then calculated as:

P_{75} = 6th + 0.75(7th - 6th)

P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(30- 28)

P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(2)

P_{75} = 28 + 1.5

P_{75} = 29.5

Section 1:

using this format we can determine what the answer is:

42 105
—— • ——-
100 x

(the spacing may be off but imagine two separate fractions)

first multiply 100 by 105 to get 10,500

then divide by 42 to get 250

this means that sasha’s book has 250 pages

section b:

using the same formula we can solve this problem:

first we need to multiply 250 by 2 to get the total cost of both tickets

175 x
—— • ——
100 500

(again spacing may be off but think of two separate fractions)

then multiply 500 by 175 to get 87,500

then divide by 100 to get 875

to find the profit subtract 875-500

this means he will make $375 profit

conclusion:

sasha’s book has 250 pages

trevor will make $375 profit

this is the method my teacher taught me last year so it should be right, hope this helps and please mark brainliest!!
