Answer: 29 feet from across the kitchen to one hole to the other.
To find the interquartile range, you will list the data that is presented in the stem and leaf plot.
Find the median of the data (30.5)
Find the median of the lower half and the median of the upper half.
Subtract these two values.
The data are <u>20</u>, 25, 30, 30, 31, 40, 41, <u>49</u>.
27.5 40.5
40.5-27.5 = 13
The interquartile range is 13.
Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
sin(α) = 3/4
and
cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4
The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
(440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph
