Given the following data, find the weight that represents the 53rd percentile. Weights of Newborn Babies9.47.55.47.57.1
6.08.15.77.16.6
9.45.88.75.79.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the weights in ascending order, it becomes

5.4, 5.7, 5.7, 5.8, 6.0, 6.6, 7.1, 7.1, 7.5, 7.5, 8.1, 8.7, 9.3, 9.4, 9.4

The formula for determining the percentile is expressed as

n = (P/100)N

Where

n represents the value of the given percentile

P represents the given percentile

N represents the number of items(weights)

From the information given, the number of items, n is 15

P = 53

Therefore,

n = (53/100) × 15

n = 7.95

n = 8

Therefore, the weight that represents the 53rd percentile is the 8th value. It becomes 7.1

53rd percentile is 7.1

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
