The upper quartile of a set of data is a number that a. separates the bottom half of the data set from the upper half b. finding the mean of the data set remaining after removing the lower half c. separates the lower quarter of the data set from the upper three-quarters d. separates the lower three-quarters of the data set from the upper quarter

D. separates the lower three-quarters of the data set from the upper quarter

Explanation:

The upper quartile is a line or a point that divides the upper half of a set of data in two exact parts, so when you get the median of the whole set of data, you take the upper half and calculate the median of that upper half, dividing the upper half in quartiles, and you get the division between the upper quartile and the other three quartiles.

stupid i wont let you get a chance

explanation:

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
