What percentage grade should a road have if the angle of elevation of the road is 6 degrees? (The percentage grade is defined as

the change in the altitude of the road over a 100-foot horizontal distance. For example a 5% grade means that the road rises 5 feet for every 100 feet of horizontal distance.)

Answer:

  10.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle is the ratio of rise to run.

  tan(angle) = grade

  tan(6°) ≈ 0.105 = 10.5%

The grade will be 10.5% for an angle of elevation of 6°.

(a) Data with the eight day's measurement.
Raw data:      [60,58,64,64,68,50,57,82], 
Sorted data:  [50,57,58,60,64,64,68,82]
Sample size = 8 (even)
mean            = 62.875
median         = (60+64)/2 = 62
1st quartile   = (57+58)/2 = 57.5
3rd quartile  = (64+68)/2 =  66
IQR = 66 - 57.5 = 8.5

(b) Data without the eight day's measurement.
Raw data:      [60,58,64,64,68,50,57]
Sorted data:  [50,57,58,60,64,64,68]
Sample size = 7 (odd)
mean            = 60.143
median         = 60
1st quartile   = 57
3rd quartile = 64
IQR = 64 -57 = 7

Answers:
1. The average is the same with or without the 8th day's data.  FALSE
2. The median is the same with or without the 8th day's data.  FALSE
3. The IQR decreases when the 8th day is included.                  FALSE
4. The IQR increases when the 8th day is included.                   TRUE
5. The median is higher when the 8th day is included.              TRUE

Soloha48 [4]

It is given in the question that

The temperature measured in Kelvin (K) is the temperature measured in Celsius (C) increased by 273.15. This can be modeled by the equation

K = C + 273.15

To solve for C, we need to get rid of 273.15 and for that we do subtraction, that is

C = K -273.15

Correct option is the first option .
