KatRina [158]

Answer:

Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion

Interquartile range is preferred when the distribution of data is highly skewed (right or left skewed) and when we have the presence of outliers. Because under these conditions the sample variance and deviation can be biased estimators for the dispersion.

What is an advantage that the standard deviation has over the interquartile​ range?

The most important advantage is that the sample variance and deviation takes in count all the observations in order to calculate the statistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The interquartile range is defined as the difference between the upper quartile and the first quartile and is a measure of dispersion for a dataset.

IQR= Q_3 -Q_1

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion obatined from the sample variance and is given by:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

Solution to the problem

Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion

Interquartile range is preferred when the distribution of data is highly skewed (right or left skewed) and when we have the presence of outliers. Because under these conditions the sample variance and deviation can be biased estimators for the dispersion.

A concession stand at a baseball game sells hot dogs and boxes of popcorn. Justin buys a total of 9 snacks. The number of popcor
Jet001 [13]

Justin buys 4 hot dogs ad 5 pop corn boxes at the baseball game.

<h3>Equation</h3>

Equation is an expression which is used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of hot dogs and y represent the boxes of popcorn.

Justin buys a total of 9 snacks. Hence:

  • x + y = 9   (1)

He buys popcorn 3 less than twice as many hot dogs. Hence:

  • y = 2x - 3
  • 2x - y = 3    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 4, y = 5

Justin buys 4 hot dogs ad 5 pop corn boxes at the baseball game.

In the figure, angle D measures 45° and angle E measures 87°. What is the measurement of angle H? 42°
Vinvika [58]
<span>The complete question is shown in the attached image

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
measure angle H = 42</span>°<span>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>There is a theorem that states that:</u>
"In a triangle, the measure of the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two non-adjacent angles to the exterior angle"

<u>In the given, we have:</u>
angle E is an exterior angle to triangle DFH
The two non-adjacent angles to angle E are angles D and H

<u>Based on the above rule:</u>
measure angle E = measure angle D + measure angle H

<u>We are given that:</u>
angle E = 87</span>°<span>
angle D = 45</span>°<span>

<u>Substitute with the givens in the above rule and solve for the measure of angle H as follows:</u>
angle E = angle D + angle H
87</span>°<span> = 45</span>°<span> + measure angle H
measure angle H = 87</span>°<span> - 45</span>°<span>
measure angle H = 42</span>°<span>

Hope this helps :)</span>
