how can the position of a certain value in a given set of data be described and used in solving real-life problems?

Answers

Answer 1
Statisticians often talk about the position of a value, relative to other values in a set of data. The most common measures of position are percentiles, quartiles, and standard scores (aka, z-scores).

Percentiles
Assume that the elements in a data set are rank ordered from the smallest to the largest. The values that divide a rank-ordered set of elements into 100 equal parts are called percentiles.

An element having a percentile rank of Pi would have a greater value than i percent of all the elements in the set. Thus, the observation at the 50th percentile would be denoted P50, and it would be greater than 50 percent of the observations in the set. An observation at the 50th percentile would correspond to the median value in the set.

Quartiles
Quartiles divide a rank-ordered data set into four equal parts. The values that divide each part are called the first, second, and third quartiles; and they are denoted by Q1, Q2, and Q3, respectively. The chart below shows a set of four numbers divided into quartiles.

Eight numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Note the relationship between quartiles and percentiles. Q1 corresponds to P25, Q2 corresponds to P50, and Q3 corresponds to P75. Q2 is the median value in the set.

While measures of central tendency, dispersion, and skewness are used often in statistics, there are other methods of characterizing or describing data distributions or portions that are commonly used as well. We will examine several of these statistical measures, some of which you may already know or have seen elsewhere.


Standard Scores (z-Scores)
A standard score (aka, a z-score) indicates how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. A standard score can be calculated from the following formula.

z = (X - μ) / σ

where z is the z-score, X is the value of the element, μ is the mean of the population, and σ is the standard deviation.

Here is how to interpret z-scores.

A z-score less than 0 represents an element less than the mean.
A z-score greater than 0 represents an element greater than the mean.
A z-score equal to 0 represents an element equal to the mean.
A z-score equal to 1 represents an element that is 1 standard deviation greater than the mean; a z-score equal to 2, 2 standard deviations greater than the mean; etc.
A z-score equal to -1 represents an element that is 1 standard deviation less than the mean; a z-score equal to -2, 2 standard deviations less than the mean; etc.

In a class of students, the following data table summarizes how many students have a
brother or a sister. What is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the
class does not have a sister?
Has a brother Does not have a brother
Has a sister
3
12
Does not have a sister
2.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate how many total students there are. Once we have the total we have to divide the number in the category that we want by the total number of students to calculate the probability of randomly getting a student in that category.

Total Students = 3 + 12 + 2 + 7 = 24 students

Probabilities:

does not have a sister = [tex]\frac{2 + 7}{24}[/tex] = 0.375 or 37.5%  (multiply decimal by 100 to get percentage.

Has a brother = [tex]\frac{3 + 2}{24}[/tex] = 0.208 or 20.8%

Does not have a brother = [tex]\frac{12 + 7}{24}[/tex] = 0.7916 or 79.2%

Has a sister = [tex]\frac{3 + 12}{24}[/tex] = 0.625 or 62.5%

A debt payment of $5,500 is due in 27 months. If money is
worth 8.4% p.a. compounded quarterly, what is the equivalent
payment? Now? 15 months? 27 months? 36 months?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

A=P(1+0.084) ^n;

=5500(1

The payment now is $4561.7450, 15 months later $5061.28, 27 months later $5500.00595 and 36 months later $5853.83.

Interest rate = 8.4/4 =2.1% = 0.021 every 3 months

The debt of $5500 is due in 27 months.

What is the formula to find compound interest?

The formula to find the compound interest is  [tex]FV=PV(1+r)^{n}[/tex].

Now, [tex]PV=FV(1+r)^{-n}[/tex].

The payment now:

5500*(1.021)^-9 = $4561.7450

So if $5500 is due in 27 months its current value is $4561.7450.

( b) 15 months from now? 5 quarters  

FV(15months)= 4561.75*1.021^5

4561.75*1.021^5 = $5061.28

(c) 27 months from now? 9 quarters

FV(15 months)= $5500  that was given in the question

Verification:

FV(27months)=4561.75*1.021^9

4561.75*1.021^9 = $5500.00595

(d) 36 months from now?   12 quarters

FV(36months)=4561.75*1.021^12

4561.75*1.021^12 = $5853.83

Therefore, the payment now is $4561.7450, 15 months later $5061.28, 27 months later $5500.00595 and 36 months later $5853.83.

Find the area of the shaded region

Answers

Answer:

Area of the shades region = 244.6 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle ABCD- Area of the right angle triangle DEC

Area of the rectangle = Length × width

                                    = 29.8 × 13

                                    = 387.4 ft²

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the right triangle DEC,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

CD² = DE² + EC²

(29.8)² = DE² + (28)²

888.04 = DE² + 784

DE² = 888.04 - 784

DE = 10.2 ft

Area of ΔDEC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]

                        = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(10.2)(28)[/tex]

                        = 142.8 ft²

Area of the shades region = 387.4 - 142.8

                                             = 244.6 ft²

Gasta el 20% de su salario para pagar los servicios básicos de su casa.

Gasta el 50% de su salario en comida.

Suponga que gana x cantidad

luego

x = 0,2x + 0,5x + 2000

x = 0,7x + 2000

x-0,7x = 2000

0,3 veces = 2000

x = 2000 / 0,3

x = 6666,67
