Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a set of data sorted from smallest to largest, i.e. arranged in ascending order we are to find out the median, I and III quartiles

We know that the median is the middle entry of data arranged in ascending order

Q1 is the entry below which 25% lie and Q3 is one above which 25% lie

Hence proper definition would be

d. The first quartile is the median of the lower half of the data below the overall median.

The second quartile is the overall median

The third quartile is the median of the upper half of the data above the overall median.

Option b is wrong becuase mean is not necessary here. Option a is wrong because this has nothing to do with std deviation

Option c is wrong since minimum value cannot be q1

Option e is wrong because we have exactly 25% lie below Q1

ACD is a triangle and B is a point on AC. AB = 8cm and BC is 6cm. Angle BCD = 48° and angle BDC = 50°. (a) Find the length of BD

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

5.8206 cm
10.528 cm
23.056 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The Law of Sines can be used to find BD.

BD/sin(48°) = BD/sin(50°)

BD = (6 cm)(sin(48°)/sin(60°)) ≈ 5.82064 cm

(b) We can use the Law of Cosines to find AD.

AD^2 = AB^2 +BD^2 -2·AB·BD·cos(98°) . . . . . angle ABD = 48°+50°

AD^2 ≈ 110.841

AD ≈ √110.841 ≈ 10.5281 . . . cm

(c) The area of ∆ABD can be found using the formula ...

A = ab·sin(θ)/2 . . . . . where a=AB, b=BD, θ = 98°

A = (8 cm)(5.82064 cm)sin(98°)/2 ≈ 23.0560 cm^2

_____

Angle ABD is the external angle of ∆BCD that is the sum of the remote interior angles BCD and BDC. Hence ∠ABD = 48° +50° = 98°.

ivann1987 [24]

Since the range of the scores given was between 300 and 700 (which is 2 standard deviations below and above the mean), the probability that a randomly selected student's math score - as based on the empirical rule of statistics - is 95%. In decimal form, it is .95.
