Formula we will use to solve IQR: Q3-Q1=IQR

Solve for Q3 and Q1 for both box plots:

Hospital A: 89 - 70 = 9 = IQR
Hospital B: 96 - 61 = 35 = IQR

Thus, the interquartile range for hospital A is 9 and the interquartile range for hospital B is 35.

The number of patients visiting hospital B each day is more varied because the IQR is higher thus making the range of visiting patients vary. Another trick is to just look at the whiskers of the box plot and see how it's skewed. If it's unevenly skewed, then that means the data will vary due to outliers.

Seth’s father is thinking of buying his son a six-month movie pass for $40. With the pass, matinees cost $1.00. If matinees are

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

In order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass Seth have to attend the movies for 11 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of movie pass = $40

Cost per matinees with pass = $1.00

Cost per matinees without pass = $3.50

To Find:

Number of times must Seth attend in order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass = ?

Solution:

Let x be the number of times he wants to visit

To profit his father

The number of visits without pass = the number of visits with passin the cost of $3.50

Then, without pass if he visits for x times then the cost will be = 3.50x

Also with pass, the number of times he can visit the pass = $\frac{40}{3.50}$

then

$\frac{350 x}{3.50} = \frac{40}{3.50}$

$3.50x = 40$

$x = \frac{40}{3.50}$

x = 11.42

x = 11 (approx)

Find the length of the longest line segment that can be drawn on a rectangular board 3.07m by 2.24m

nikklg [1K]

For rectangle
l=3.07m
b=2.24m
so longest side that can be drawn is diagonal of rectangular board
=squareroot l^2+b^2
=squareroot3.07^2+2.24^2
=squareroot9.4249+5.0176
=squareroot14.4425
=3.80
So longest line that can be drawn in rectangular board is 3.80m
