The data sets show the years of the coins in two collections. Derek's collection: 1950, 1952, 1908, 1902, 1955, 1954, 1901, 1910 Paul's collection: 1929, 1935, 1928, 1930, 1925, 1932, 1933, 1920 Find the indicated measures of center and the measures of variation for each data set. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. Derek's collection Paul's collection mean median range IQR MAD

Derek's collection :

Mean= 1929

Median= 1930

Range= 54

IQR = 48

MAD= 23.75

Paul's collection:

Mean= 1929

Median= 1929.5

Range= 15

IQR = 6

MAD= 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1950, 1952, 1908, 1902, 1955, 1954, 1901, 1910

Mean is given by:

(1950+1952+ 1908+1902+1955+1954+1901+1910)/8

=1929

absolute deviation from mean is:

|1950-1929|= 21

|1952-1929|= 23

|1908-1929|= 21

|1902-1929|= 27

|1955-1929|= 26

|1954-1929|= 25

|1901-1929|= 28

|1910-1929|= 19

from the mean of absolute deviation gives the MAD of the data i.e.

(21+23+21+27+26+25+28+`9)/8

23.75

:arrange the given data to get the range and median

   1901   1902    1908   1910    1950  1952    1954   1955

The minimum value is: 1901

Maximum value is: 1955

Range is: Maximum value-minimum value

         Range=1955-1901

Range= 54

median is (1910+1950)/2

1930

   the lower set of data=

  1901   1902    1908   1910

first quartile becomes

1902+1908)/2

Q1=1905

and upper set of data is:

1950  1952    1954   1955

we find the median of the  upper quartile or third quartile is:

1952+1954)/2=1953

Q3-Q1=1953-1905=

IQR=48

Paul's collection:

1929, 1935, 1928, 1930, 1925, 1932, 1933, 1920

Mean is given by:

1929+1935+ 1928+ 1930+ 1925+ 1932+1933+1920)/8

1929

absolute deviation from mean is:

|1929-1929|=0

|1935-1929|= 6

|1928-1929|= 1

|1930-1929|= 1

|1925-1929|= 4

|1932-1929|= 3

|1933-1929|= 4

|1920-1929|= 9

Hence, we get:

MAD=0+6+1+1+4+3+4+9/8

28/8

3.5

arrange the data in ascending order we get:

1920   1925   1928   1929   1930   1932   1933   1935  

Minimum value= 1920

Maximum value= 1935

Range=  15 (  1935-1920=15 )

The median is between 1929 and 1930

Hence, Median= 1929.5

Also, lower set of data is:

1920   1925   1928   1929  

the first quartile or upper quartile is

1925+1928/2

1926.5

and the upper set of data is:

1930   1932   1933   1935  

We have

1932+1933)/2

1932.5

IQR is calculated as:

Q3-Q1

answer: c

because if you look at the chart you can see a pattern and compare it to the question he simplify out your

but i think the formula is f(x)=6x

part a

answer: a reasonable domain is where n is a real number. so n can be between 0 and 10. both endpoints are included.

work shown:

n is the number of days after the experiment starts. the smallest n can be is n = 0 which means that 0 days have gone by, and we're at the start. to find out how large n should be, then replace f(n) with 16.13 and solve for n. use logarithms to isolate the exponent.

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13 = 12*(1.03)^n

16.13/12 = (1.03)^n

1.34416666666667 = (1.03)^n

(1.03)^n = 1.34416666666667

log[ (1.03)^n ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n*log[ 1.03 ] = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]

n = log[ 1.34416666666667 ]/log[ 1.03 ]

n = 10.0062999823929

this rounds to n = 10 which is fairly close but not 100% perfect. so this is the largest n can be.

note: if you plug n = 10 into f(n), you'll get roughly 16.127 which rounds to 16.13 (this comes up again in part c)

=====================================

part b

answer: the y intercept is 12. it represents the starting height of the plant in cm.

work shown:

plug n = 0 into the f(n) function. simplify

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(0) = 12*(1.03)^0

f(0) = 12*(1)

f(0) = 12

on day n = 0, aka the starting point, the height f(n) is 12 cm

=====================================

part c

answer: the average rate of change is approximately 0.43061036458991 (round however you need to). this represents the average growth rate from day n = 3 to day n = 10. so the plant grew roughly 0.43 cm per day during this timespan, assuming you round to 2 decimal places.

work shown:

compute f(3)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(3) = 12*(1.03)^3

f(3) = 13.112724 < we'll use this later

compute f(10)

f(n) = 12*(1.03)^n

f(10) = 12*(1.03)^10

f(10) = 16.1269965521294 < we'll use this later

now use the formula below with a = 3 and b = 10

aroc = average rate of change

aroc = [ f(b) - f(a) ]/[ b - a ]

aroc = [ f(10) - f(3) ]/[ 10 - 3 ]

aroc = (16.1269965521294 - 13.112724)/(10 - 3)

aroc = 3.0142725521294/7

aroc = 0.43061036458991

round this however you need to

note: the plant grew approximately 3.01 cm over 7 days, so roughly 0.43 cm per day is the average growth rate (if you were to round to 2 decimal places).
