What is the interquartile range of the data set

There are many methods of doing this. This one finds the median; however, instead of halving, you can use quarters instead.

First order the data, ascendingly:

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

Find the median:

For an even number of values: The number of values / 2

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 2

11 is odd.

11 + 1 / 2

12 / 2 = 6

The median is at the 6th position.

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

The median is 20.

Other method:

You don't need this step.

Using the values lower than the median, exclusive, find the median of the lower values;

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 2

10, 17, 18, 18, 18

5 + 1 / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

The median of the lower values is at position 3.

This is the lower quartile.

10, 17, 18, 18, 18

Other method:

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 4

11 + 1 / 4 = 12 / 4 = 3

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

Using the values greater than the median, exclusive, find the median:

For an odd number of values: The number of values + 1 / 2

20, 25, 25, 30, 30

5 + 1 / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

The median of the upper values is at position 3.

20, 25, 25, 30, 30

This is 25.

This is the upper quartile.

Other method:

For an odd number of values: (The number of values + 1 / 4) * 3

(11 + 1 / 4) * 3 = (12 / 4)  * 3 = 3 * 3 = 9

10, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30

Your interquartile range is 3 - 25

25 - 3 = 21

the multiples of 15 are 15, 30,45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195,   210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 315, 330, 345, 360, 375,   390, 405, 420, 435, 450, 465, 480, 495, 510, 525, 540, 555, 570, 585, 600, 615, 630, 645, 660, 675, 690, 705, 720, and 735.

the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
