Blood pressure values are often reported to the nearest 5 mmHg (100, 105, 110, etc.). The actual blood pressure values for nine

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

a) 117.4

b) 117.9

c) Option A) When there is rounding or grouping, the median can be highly sensitive to small change

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set in the question:

108.6, 117.4, 128.4, 120.0, 103.7, 112.0, 98.3, 121.5, 123.2

$Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}$

n = 9

a) Median of the reported blood pressure values

Sorted Values: 98.3, 103.7, 108.6, 112.0, 117.4, 120.0, 121.5, 123.2, 128.4

Median =

$\dfrac{9 + 1}{2}^{th}\text{ term} = 5^{th}\text{ term} = 117.4$

b) New median of the reported values

Data: 108.6, 117.9, 128.4, 120.0, 103.7, 112.0, 98.3, 121.5, 123.2

Sorted Values: 98.3, 103.7, 108.6, 112.0, 117.9, 120.0, 121.5, 123.2, 128.4

New Median =

$\dfrac{9 + 1}{2}^{th}\text{ term} = 5^{th}\text{ term} = 117.9$

c) Since median is a position based descriptive statistics, a small change in values can bring a change in the median value as the order of the data may change.

Option A) When there is rounding or grouping, the median can be highly sensitive to small change

Solve the system of equations algebraically.

Romashka [77]

A should be the right answer because 4*5/4=5 + 5*2=10 and 5+10=15.

-BARSIC- [3]

The total number of marbles is 30+20+50= 100, so. Since there are 20 red marbles and 50 blue marbles. There are 30+50=80. 80/100=4/5= 80%
