Refer to the
[link] . Find the third quartile. What is another name for the third quartile?
The third quartile is the 75
th percentile, which is four. The 65
th percentile is between three and four, and the 90
th percentile is between four and 5.75. The third quartile is between 65 and 90, so it must be four.
Collaborative statistics
Your instructor or a member of the class will ask everyone in class how many sweaters they own. Answer the following questions:
How many students were surveyed?
What kind of sampling did you do?
Construct two different histograms. For each, starting value = _____ ending value = ____.
Find the median, first quartile, and third quartile.
Construct a table of the data to find the following:
the 10
th percentile
the 70
th percentile
the percent of students who own less than four sweaters
A formula for finding the
k Th percentile
If you were to do a little research, you would find several formulas for calculating the
kth percentile. Here is one of them.
k = the
k
th percentile. It may or may not be part of the data.
i = the index (ranking or position of a data value)
n = the total number of data
Order the data from smallest to largest.
Calculate
If
i is an integer, then the
k
th percentile is the data value in the
i
th position in the ordered set of data.
If
i is not an integer, then round
i up and round
i down to the nearest integers. Average the two data values in these two positions in the ordered data set. This is easier to understand in an example.
Listed are 29 ages for Academy Award winning best actors
in order from smallest to largest. 18; 21; 22; 25; 26; 27; 29; 30; 31; 33; 36; 37; 41; 42; 47; 52; 55; 57; 58; 62; 64; 67; 69; 71; 72; 73; 74; 76; 77
Find the 70
th percentile.
Find the 83
rd percentile.
k = 70
i = the index
n = 29
i =
(
n + 1) = (
)(29 + 1) = 21. Twenty-one is an integer, and the data value in the 21
st position in the ordered data set is 64. The 70
th percentile is 64 years.
k = 83
rd percentile
i = the index
n = 29
i =
(
n + 1) = )
)(29 + 1) = 24.9, which is NOT an integer. Round it down to 24 and up to 25. The age in the 24
th position is 71 and the age in the 25
th position is 72. Average 71 and 72. The 83
rd percentile is 71.5 years.
Try it
Listed are 29 ages for Academy Award winning best actors
in order from smallest to largest.
k = 20. Index =
i =
(29 + 1) = 6. The age in the sixth position is 27. The 20
th percentile is 27 years.
k = 55. Index =
i =
(29 + 1) = 16.5. Round down to 16 and up to 17. The age in the 16
th position is 52 and the age in the 17
th position is 55. The average of 52 and 55 is 53.5. The 55
th percentile is 53.5 years.
Note
You can calculate percentiles using calculators and computers. There are a variety of online calculators.
A formula for finding the percentile of a value in a data set
Order the data from smallest to largest.
x = the number of data values counting from the bottom of the data list up to but not including the data value for which you want to find the percentile.
y = the number of data values equal to the data value for which you want to find the percentile.
n = the total number of data.
Calculate
(100). Then round to the nearest integer.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
