B has a smaller IQR, so it looks like B has scores that are closer together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks one more question wait

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/10jjzu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its A

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I would agree since A has a smaller IQR, so the values are closer together

Find the values of the 30th and 90th percentiles of the data. 129, 113, 200, 100, 105, 132, 100, 176, 146, 152 A. 30th percentile = 105; 90th percentile = 200 B. 30th percentile = 113; 90th percentile = 200 C. 30th percentile = 105; 90th percentile = 176 D. 30th percentile = 113; 90th percentile = 176

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know its not C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first sort the data values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100, 100, 105, 113, 129, 132, 146, 152, 176, 200

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok now multiply 0.3 by 10 to get 0.3*10 = 3 so the value in slot #3 is the 30th percentile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried calculating it and i think its B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

0.9*10 = 9 the value in slot 9 is the 90th percentile

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's not B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Explain

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

just did, re-read my last 2 posts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

multiply 0.3 by 10 to get 0.3*10 = 3 so the value in slot #3 is the 30th percentile ------------------------------------------------------- 0.9*10 = 9 the value in slot 9 is the 90th percentile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is the wrong option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh...hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think 100 is the repeating figure so we can count it as 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

maybe, the annoying thing about percentiles is that there is actually more than one way to do it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there's no set standard, which is frustrating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 100 written just one times may be we can get the correct answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we do this it will be D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for some reason, I want to exclude 200 as the 90th percentile, so that's why I'm leaning towards 176 as the 90th percentile

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah D is the next plausible answer choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Identify the sampling method. You want to find how many students use public transportation. You interview every fifth teenager you see exiting a movie theater. A. random B. systematic C. stratified D. none of these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how are you?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm good, how about yourself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're welcome, so is this a stats class you're in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no algebra

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm interesting, i've never had stats mixed in with algebra before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the values of the 30th and 90th percentiles of the data. 129, 113, 200, 100, 105, 132, 100, 176, 146, 152 A. 30th percentile = 105; 90th percentile = 200 B. 30th percentile = 113; 90th percentile = 200 C. 30th percentile = 105; 90th percentile = 176 D. 30th percentile = 113; 90th percentile = 176

OpenStudy (anonymous):

iam rearranging them i think i sort them out wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we did this one already??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100, 100, 105, 113, 129, 132, 146, 152, 176, 200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure its D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that one doesn't work either?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because if we count 100 as the figure written once then we will get B as an answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

B was already eliminated though remember?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its was C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

C doesn't work, so it has to be D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we eliminated B too because there's no way the 90th percentile is 200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jim the answer was b i was right we will be counting 100 as it is written once

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm like I said, there's more than one way to do percentile problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i have more questions will you help just 10 more questions

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

can't do all 10, how about 3 or 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/10jndv

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need confirmation with answers

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok, it's not B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it A

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/10jnra

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you got?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

right again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/10jo74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

B is incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i calculated it again i got 1.1 so A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tiara wants to divide a square piece of paper into two equalivalent triangles. If the square measures 20 cm on each side, what will the third side of each triangle measure? A. 8.9 cm B. 20 cm C. 40 cm D. 28.3 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not B and it can not be A so it will be D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/10jpf5 i know its not b so is it d

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

neither B nor D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://prntscr.com/10jpq6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

last one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then I have to get going

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yepthis is last question

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh ok, it's not D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks a lot
