Can someone check my math answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill try

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Do you know how to find the mean, median, mode and range?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mean is when all of the numbers are added together and divided by the amount of numbers their are?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Nvm, X_X Give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry.. And Okay.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

The first one is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had a feeling, its D?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Median is the middle number, set it up in order and find the middle number. If it's even then add the TWO middle numbers and divide by 2

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Yes d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you. And Is number 2 wrong as well?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

As for the last one there's a method to check, give me a second to calculate it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great, Thank you.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Since outliers in a data set stand out, you can identify them just by looking at the data. However, outliers are defined according to the interquartile range (IQR). first you have to find the IQR. multiply the IQR by 1.5. subtract this number from Q1 and add this number to Q3 to find the limits for the outliers. The Lower Limit: Outlier < Q1 – 1.5(IQR) And The Upper Limit: Outlier > Q3 + 1.5(IQR)

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Do you know how to find the IQR?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I mean, i do, just i don't really have a clear understanding on it.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

internet derped X_X IQR = Q3 - Q1 First find q1 and q3, know how to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, Lol. Um, can you help me work through the whole thing?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

sure ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks so much. Im Failing my math class, and need all the help i can get.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

First put it in order from least to greatest. 13,13,13,15,21,23,25,37 ... Tell me if I missed any :p There are 8 (even so) grab half. {13,13,13,15} ---- and ---- { 21,23,25,37 } So 13 + 13 = 26 / 2 = 13, therefore the Q1 is 13. Q3 is 23 + 25 = 48 / 2 = 24. This makes sense because 24 is the middle number between 23 and 25! Now that you have the q1 and q3. IQR = q3 - q1 So, 24 - 13 = 11 Now, The Lower Limit: Outlier < Q1 – 1.5(IQR) outlier < 13 - 1.5(11) < 13 -16.5 < -3.5 So any outlier will be anything below -3.5

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Outlier > Q3 + 1.5(IQR) > 24 + 1.5(11) > 24 + 16.5 > 40.5 Anything above 40.5 is an outlier. There isn't so there are no outliers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is either A or D?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Hm, i didn't find any outliers ._. let's continue onto the next part, we'll get back to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Now you tell me xD what's the outlier of the data

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was 13? Lol.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

13,13,13,15,21,23,25,37 = 20 not 13 add them up and divide by 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh Okay, Give me a second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17.7?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

No, I just gave you the mean lol

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

http://prntscr.com/32kena

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused? You told me to add all those up, and divide by 8, and i did so.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

\[\frac{ 13 + 13 + 13 + 15 + 21 + 23 + 25 + 37 }{ 8 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 190, then i divided it by 8.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

190? You should get 160

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats what i meant lol xD

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

k so the mean is 20 onto the third, it says without the outlier. I don't see any outlier ._. that's the thing. Thinking outside the box ;) look at how the mean is the second place value or the B. Including all of the numbers. Only one of them has 20 in the b section. suppose you didn't know the formula for the outliers you would have to guess and based on just looking. I would also say 37 is an outlier, so excluding 37, add all of them again and divisive by 7. Don't include 37.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Maybe @mathmale can shine some light on your doubt >.> id that made any sense at all lol xD I'm going to say the correct answer is B.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

If*

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@tHe_FiZiCx99 : Many thanks for the referral! @LaLaLawson : I don't want to repeat what you already know, so ask you to tell me what you're still unsure of and/or need to find. I see y ou're working on the 2nd question now.

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Sure, no problem! @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry My Internet went weird. Lol. Thank you.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

OK: Please tell me as best you can what you want to know now.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I see you need to identify the one outlier. How would you go about doing that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I also have someone helping me on another site, and i understand now, i have a few other questions that i was wondering if you could check?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

*Cough* was I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Haha Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

♦o♦ You're welcome :>

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Stem and leaf plots are fun, they aren't that hard >.>

OpenStudy (mathmale):

If you'd point out which part of your work you want feedback on, sure. But I'd prefer not to go through an entire problem and give you a "right" or "wrong" response. If you're tied up on another site, why not finish that first and return to this one with your question?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

It's 4pm, sorry I have to get off :/ Maybe if I'm on later :P

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Bye, Fizic!

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Bye Mathmale!!
