Find the median of :

dusya [7]

Answer: 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a data set is defined as the middle value of a data set.

For instance, the median of the data set [4, 7, 8] would be 7 because it is the "middle value".

You can find this by sorting the numbers by smallest to largest:

2, 9, 15, 16, 21, 24, 28, 32, 34, 35, 37, 39, 40

There are 13 numbers in the set, so you can exclude the first 6 and last 6 numbers from the set to get your median, 28.

For the period 1997-2003, the number of eggs y (in billions) produced in the United States can be modeled by the function y=-0.2

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Part a) The approximate years were 1998 and 2008

Part b) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we have

$y=-0.27x^{2}+3.3x+77$

For $y=80\ billion\ eggs$

Solve the quadratic equation

$80=-0.27x^{2}+3.3x+77$

$0.27x^{2}-3.3x+3=0$

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$0.27x^{2}-3.3x+3=0$

so

$a=0.27\\b=-3.3\\c=3$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{3.3(+/-)\sqrt{-3.3^{2}-4(0.27)(3)}} {2(0.27)}$

$x=\frac{3.3(+/-)\sqrt{7.65}} {0.54}$

$x=\frac{3.3(+)\sqrt{7.65}} {0.54}=11.23\ years$

$x=\frac{3.3(-)\sqrt{7.65}} {0.54}=0.99\ years$

therefore

The approximate years are

1997+11=2008

1997+1=1998

Part b)

Using a graphing tool

we have

$y=-0.27x^{2}+3.3x+77$

$y=80$

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point are (0.99,80) and (11.23,80)

see the attached figure

therefore

The solution part a) is correct
