Answer:

1. The interquartile range for the grade 7 data is 6.

2. The interquartile range for the grade 8 data is 6.

3. The difference of the medians of the two data sets is 2.

4. The difference is about 1/3 times the interquartile range of either data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hourly cookie sales by students in grades 7 and 8 at the school's annual bake sale is given by the following table.

Grade 7 Grade 8

20 21

15 29

30 14

24 19

18 24

21 25

The data set for grade 7 is

20, 15, 30, 24, 18, 21

Arrange the data in ascending order.

15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 30

Divide the data in four equal parts.

(15), 18, (20), (21), 24,( 30)

$Q_1=18, Median=\frac{20+21}{2}=20.5, Q_3=24$

The interquartile range for the grade 7 data is

$IQR=Q_3-Q_1=24-18=6$

Therefore the interquartile range for the grade 7 data is 6.

The data set for grade 8 is

21, 29, 14, 19, 24, 25

Arrange the data in ascending order.

14, 19, 21, 24, 25, 29

Divide the data in four equal parts.

(14), 19, (21), (24), 25, (29)

$Q_1=19, Median=\frac{21+24}{2}=22.5, Q_3=25$

The interquartile range for the grade 8 data is

$IQR=Q_3-Q_1=25-19=6$

Therefore the interquartile range for the grade 8 data is 6.

The difference of the medians of the two data sets is

$D=22.5-20.5=2$

Therefore the difference of the medians of the two data sets is 2.

Let the difference is about x times the interquartile range of either data set.

The IQR of each data is 6.

$D=x(IQR)$

$2=x(6)$

$\frac{2}{6}=x$

$\frac{1}{3}=x$

Therefore the difference is about 1/3 times the interquartile range of either data set.

The dotplot shows the heights of 25 students in Mrs. Navard’s statistics class.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

A)Percentile for Lynette, the student who is 65 in. tall is 36th

B) Asher is 22 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentile : It is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations falls

A) Find the Percentile for Lynette, the student who is 65 in. tall.

No. of students below 65 inch =9

So, Percentage of data below 65 inch = $\frac{9}{25} \times 100 = 36 \%$

So, Percentile for Lynette, the student who is 65 in. tall is 36th

B)Ashers height is at the 88th percentile of the distribution. Interpret this value in context. How tall is Asher

$88=\frac{x}{25} \times 100 \\\frac{2200}{100}=x$

22=x

So, No. of students below or st 88th percentile = 22

So, Asher is 22 inches tall.

Your company will replace the asphalt roofs on all the buildings at the factory complex shown below. The buildings have flat roo

nataly862011 [7]

Answer: Total area 2800 sq.yards

Step-by-step explanation:

First roof

2 rectangles and 2 trangles

for rectangles area = b*h

then area of one rectangle = 20*30 = 600 sq.yards

We have 2 rectangles then 2 * 600 = 1200 s. yards

for triangles area 1/2 b*h

Then area of one triangle = 0.5* 5*20 = 50 sq.yards

We have 2 triangles then 2 * 50 = 100 sq.yards : 1300 sq.yards

Total area first roof = 1300 sq.yards

Second roof

Area of rectangle = b*h = 25*60 = 1500sq.yards

Total area second roof = 1500 sq.yards

Kali is selling two different kinds of soup - tomato soup and clam chowder. She has a total of 80 bowls, so she can sell no more

You are looking for the shaded region that would be contained in both of the inequalities.

You have:
$x+y \leq 80$ $5x+10y\ \textgreater \ 500$

If you graph an shade the correct half-plane for those equations, you will see there is a triangular region on the left side of the first quadrant.

The water level of a river is 170 feet. The river recedes 4 feet each year. Ingrid claims that the equation that represents this

Vladimir [108]

Sample Answer: No, Ingrid is incorrect. The initial value in the scenario is 170 feet, which represents the y − intercept. Receding 4 feet in the scenario represents the rate of change, which is the slope. In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents the y−intercept, so the correct equation is y = −4x + 170.

how do i slove 5/9v+w=z, for v

nekit [7.7K]

Okay, let's do this~

we want v isolated on one side so let's bring w over through subtraction

now we have 5/9v=z-w

now, to get rid of that fraction attached to v, we will multiply it's reciprocal on both sides.

*the reciprocal of 5/9 is 9/5

(5/9) x (9/5) cancel each other leaving v isolated to the left

the other side should look like this 9/5(z-w)

now we put both parts together to end up with:

v= 9/5(z-w)

there you go! :D
