Answer:

8b + 27 ≤ - 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of a number can be written as x or in this case as b because it is an unknown number.

b is multipled by 8 so 8b

"and 27" indicates an addition so therefore, 8b + 27

"at most -29" This is a little bit tricky but ultimately it means 8b + 27 cannot be more than -29. Therefore, it must be lesser than.

However there is a line underneath that lesser than sign meaning lesser than or equal to. I believe that "at most" indicates equal to.

Other than the lesser than or equal to sign I'm unsure about, this inequality should be correct.

Consider a sample with data values of 27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24. Compute the 20th, 25th, 65th, and 75th percentiles. 20

densk [106]

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:

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

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

$P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(2)$

$P_{75} = 28 + 1.5$

$P_{75} = 29.5$
