The temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) in Long Island recorded by the weather bureau over a week were 42, 49, 53, 55, 50, 47, and 52. Which measure should the weather bureau use to calculate how far apart the upper and lower quartiles of the week's daily temperatures were?

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. at the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kpa and 27°c, and 750 kj/kg of heat is transferred to air during the constant-volume heat-addition process. assuming constant specific heats at room temperature, determine (a) the pressure and temperature at the end of the heat-addition process, (b) the net work output, (c) the thermal efficiency, and (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle. (4390 kpa, 1730 k; 423 kj/kg; 56.4%; 534 kpa)
