A study was conducted on the effects of divorce. Researchers gathered data from a random sample of 5,125 adults and measured qui

shusha [124]

Answer:

We can infer a cause-and-effect relationship because multiple variables were included.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiple attributes for the divorced ones are

1) less physically active

2) an unhealthy weight,

3) smokers.

The attribute showing the % of the married is

1) death

So when we compare the two groups married and divorced we see different variables are involved in evaluating the percentage.

This shows a cause and effect involving multiple variables.

In cause and effect one variable is dependent and the other is independent.

The cause is the independent variable and effect is the dependent variable.

CAUSE EFFECT

Married Death

Divorced 1) less physically active

2) an unhealthy weight,

3) smokers.

Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter. Darcie crochets at a rate of 1/15 of a blanke

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Darcie wants to donate minimum 3 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter. No of days left =60

No of days to complete one blanket = 1/(1/15) = 15 days

Hence in 60 days she has to complete ≥3 blankets

No of days she has to utilize for this will be ≥3(15)=45

No of days she can skip crocheting ≤15

Let x be the no of days crocheted and y no of days skipped

Then x+y≤60

See the graph attached as x axis for days crocheted and y for days skipped

No of blankets can be either 3 or 4.

dusya [7]

Answer:

$Range = 16$

$Inter\ Quartile\ Range = 6.75$

$Variance = 20.44$

$Standard\ Deviation = 4.52$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4, 17, 12, 9, 6, 10, 1, 5, 9, 3

Calculating the range;

$Range = Highest - Lowest$

From the given data;

Highest = 17 and Lowest = 1

Hence;

$Range = 17 - 1$

$Range = 16$

Calculating the Inter-quartile Range

Inter quartile range (IQR) is calculates as thus

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

Where

Q3 = Upper Quartile and Q1 = Lower Quartile

<em />

<em>Start by arranging the data in ascending order</em>

1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 9, 10, 12, 17

N = Number of data; N = 10

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calculating Q3

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(N+1) th\ item$

<em>Substitute 10 for N</em>

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(10+1) th\ item$

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(11) th\ item$

$Q_3 = \frac{33}{4} th\ item$

$Q_3 = 8.25 th\ item$

Express 8.25 as 8 + 0.25

$Q_3 = (8 + 0.25) th\ item$

$Q_3 = 8th\ item + 0.25 th\ item$

Express 0.25 as fraction

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} th\ item$

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} (9th\ item - 8th\ item)$

From the arranged data;

$8th\ item = 10$ and $9th\ item = 12$

$Q_3 = 8th\ item +\frac{1}{4} (9th\ item - 8th\ item)$

$Q_3 = 10 +\frac{1}{4} (12 - 10)$

$Q_3 = 10 +\frac{1}{4} (2)$

$Q_3 = 10 +0.5$

$Q_3 = 10.5$

Calculating Q1

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(N+1) th\ item$

<em>Substitute 10 for N</em>

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(10+1) th\ item$

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(11) th\ item$

$Q_1 = \frac{11}{4} th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2.75 th\ item$

Express 2.75 as 2 + 0.75

$Q_1 = (2 + 0.75) th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2nd\ item + 0.75 th\ item$

Express 0.75 as fraction

$Q_1 = 2nd\ item +\frac{3}{4} th\ item$

$Q_1 = 2nd\ item +\frac{3}{4} (3rd\ item - 2nd\ item)$

From the arranged data;

$2nd\ item = 3$ and $3rd\ item = 4$

$Q_1 = 3 +\frac{3}{4} (4 - 3)$

$Q_1 = 3 +\frac{3}{4} (1)$

$Q_1 = 3 +0.75$

$Q_1 = 3 .75$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recall that

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$IQR = 10.5 - 3.75$

$IQR = 6.75$

Calculating Variance

Start by calculating the mean

$Mean = \frac{1+3+4+5+6+9+9+10+12+17}{10}$

$Mean = \frac{76}{10}$

$Mean = 7.6$

Subtract the mean from each data, then square the result

$(1 - 7.6)^2 = (-6.6)^2 = 43.56$

$(3 - 7.6)^2 = (-4.6)^2 = 21.16$

$(4 - 7.6)^2 = (-3.6)^2 = 12.96$

$(5 - 7.6)^2 = (-2.6)^2 = 6.76$

$(6 - 7.6)^2 = (-1.6)^2 = 2.56$

$(9 - 7.6)^2 = (1.4)^2 = 1.96$

$(9 - 7.6)^2 = (1.4)^2 = 1.96$

$(10 - 7.6)^2 = (2.4)^2 = 5.76$

$(12 - 7.6)^2 = (4.4)^2 = 19.36$

$(17 - 7.6)^2 = (9.4)^2 = 88.36$

Sum the result

$43.56 + 21.16 + 12.96 + 6.76 + 2.56 + 1.96 + 1.96 + 5.76 + 19.36 + 88.36 = 204.4$

Divide by number of observation;

$Variance = \frac{204.4}{10}$

$Variance = 20.44$

Calculating Standard Deviation (SD)

$SD = \sqrt{Variance}$

$SD = \sqrt{20.44}$

$SD = 4.52$ <em>(Approximated)</em>
