Find the mean median and interquartile for the data set below

17,23,8,5,9,16,22,11,13,15,17,18

mean = 14.5 ; median = 15.5 ; interquartile = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 17,23,8,5,9,16,22,11,13,15,17,18.

To find : Find the mean median and interquartile for the data set .

Solution : We have given 17,23,8,5,9,16,22,11,13,15,17,18.

First we arrange in ascending order 5 , 8 ,9 ,11, 13, 15, 16 , 17, 17,18, 22, 23,

Mean : .

Mean :  .

Mean : 14.5

Median : Average of middle two numbers

Median :  .

Median :  .

Median : 15 .5

Interquartile  : median of lower half  - median of upper half.

Interquartile  :  - .

Interquartile  :  17.5 - 10= 7.5

Therefore, mean = 14.5 ; median = 15.5 ; interquartile = 7.5

a) 40 more; b) old factory:   10%, new factory:   16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.  

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate.   the equation for the old factory is ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1.   this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337.   this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.
