What is the upper quartile, Q3, of the following data set? 54, 53, 46, 60, 62, 70, 43, 67, 48, 65, 55, 38, 52, 56, 41

The original data set is
{<span>54, 53, 46, 60, 62, 70, 43, 67, 48, 65, 55, 38, 52, 56, 41}
Sort the data values from smallest to largest to get
</span><span>{38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70}
</span>
Now find the middle most value. This is the value in the 8th slot. The first 7 values are below the median. The 8th value is the median itself. The next 7 values are above the median.
The value in the 8th slot is 54, so this is the median
Divide the sorted data set into two lists. I'll call them L and U
L = {<span>38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 52, 53}
U = {</span><span>55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70}
they each have 7 items. The list L is the lower half of the sorted data and U is the upper half. The split happens at the original median (54).
Q3 will be equal to the median of the list U
The median of U = </span>{<span>55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70} is 62 since it's the middle most value.
Therefore, Q3 = 62
Answer: 62</span>
You can set this up as an algebraic equation using the ratio:

=

where x = number of skiers
Cross multiply:
x + 1250 = 2x
Solve for x:
-x = -1250
x=1250
To find the number of snowboarders, add 1250.
1250 + 1250 = 2500
1250 skiers and 2500 snowboarders bought season passes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form for the equation of the line is

Recall that:

Therefore the equation of the line is:

Answer: (-6, 5)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the Midpoint Formula: 
Separate the x's and y's and solve them individually:

So, the k-coordinate is (-6, 5)
