Answer:

Mean: 30.9

Range: 80

Interquartile range: 26

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, you would add up all the numbers (2, 22, 4, 36, 82, 44, 65, 30, 8, and 16), and divide them by how many numbers are in the collection, which is 10. So you would divide 309 by ten.

To find the range, you find the largest number, which is 82 and subtracts it by the lowest number, 2. That equals 80.

Here is an example of how to find the interquartile range. I hope it helps:

Lower half Median = 71 Upper half

62, 63, 64, 64, 70, 71, 72, 76, 77, 81, 81

Lower quarter Upper quarter

Interquartile range: 77-64=13

Q1 = 64 Q3=77

Answer:

Mean = 30.9

Range = 80

Interquartile Range = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a set of numbers is the sum divided by the number of terms. In other words that means 2, 22, 4, 36, 82, 44, 65, 30, 8, 16 go over a fraction like this. There are 10 numbers here so this is our denominator.

$\frac{2+ 22 + 4 + 36 + 82 + 44 + 65 + 30 + 8 + 16}{10}$

$\frac{309}{10} > 30.9$

For the range, all we do is subtract the minimum value from the maximum which is 82 - 2. That gives us 80.

For the IQ Range....

Arrange the terms in ascending order.

2, 4, 8, 16, 22, 30, 36, 44, 65, 82

Then we need to find the median which is the average of the two middle terms.

$\frac{22+30}{2} > \frac{2*11 + 30}{2} >\frac{2*11+2*15}{2} > \frac{2 * (11 + 15)}{2} > 11 + 15 > 26$

So for the lower half of data 2, 4, 8, 16, 22 we have the median of 8

And for the upper half 30, 36, 44, 65, 82 we have the median of 44.

To find the IQ Range it is the difference between the first quartile (8) and the third (44)

So 44 - 8 = 36

An observation of the Moon was conducted from Friday, November 8, 2013 to Thursday, November 14, 2013. The study of the Moon during this period occurred consistently between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. EST within the Northern Hemisphere at 37.3346° N, 79.5228° W (Bedford, V.A.). The Moon was noted to be illuminated on the right side and had a dark shadow on the left side indicating a waxing phase. The light region grew over the surface of the Moon with each subsequent night. The first night’s phase was waxing crescent with over 25 percent of the Moon lit up. The next night, the light had grown to cover more of the Moon as it continued through its waxing crescent phase.

The Moon was noted to be illuminated on the right side and had a dark shadow on the left side indicating a waxing phase. The light region grew over the surface of the Moon with each subsequent night. The first night’s phase was waxing crescent with over 25 percent of the Moon lit up. The next night, the light had grown to cover more of the Moon as it continued through its waxing crescent phase. On November 10th, the Moon exhibited traits of being at first-quarter or half-moon status because at least 50 percent of its surface was illuminated. In the following nights, the Moon displayed characteristics of waxing gibbous as the light continued to grow across the moon’s surface from right to left. The Moon was nearing closer to the full moon phase on November 14th as only a very small dark shadow was visible on the left side.
The Moon takes 27.3 days (sidereal month) to complete its actual orbit around the Earth. Like the Sun, the Moon rises in the east and sets in the west each day.

vodomira [7]

There are 30 students in the classroom; 40% are men and 60% are women. How many men and women are in the classroom?

40/100 = 2/5 60/100 = 3/5 30 ÷ 5 = 6 3 × 6 = 18 so 18 are women 2 × 6 = 12

so there are 12 men.

How would I translate this algebraic expression?

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: $\frac{5}{7} (2+\frac{6}{r} )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the quotient of 6 and r = $\frac{6}{r}$

The sum of two and the quotient of 6 and r

= $(2+\frac{6}{r} )$

And, Five-sevenths of the sum of two and the quotient of 6 and r

= $\frac{5}{7} (2+\frac{6}{r} )$

Thus, the required expression is, $\frac{5}{7} (2+\frac{6}{r} )$

Write a fraction less than 1 with a denominator of 6 that is greater than 3/4

Marizza181 [45]

$\frac{5}{6}$ is a fraction with the denominator 6. It is less than one (5/6 = 0.83 [rounded]. 0.83 is less than 1) but greater than $\frac{3}{4}$ (3/4 = 0.75. 0.75 is less than 0.83)

Note: To turn a fraction into a decimal you simply divide the numerator by denominator. ( $\frac{numerator}{denominator}$ → numerator/denominator → (decimal)
