Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. James needs to clock a minimum of 9 hours per day at work. The data set records his daily work hours, which vary between 9 hours and 12 hours, for a certain number of days. {9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 10.5, 11, 11, 11.5, 11.5, 11.5, 12, 12}. The median number of hours James worked is . The skew of the distribution is .

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

{9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 10.5, 11, 11, 11.5, 11.5, 11.5, 12, 12}

The median of the distribution can be found using the formula :

Median = 0.5(n + 1) th term

n = number of terms = 12

Median = 0.5(12 + 1) th term

Median = 0.5(13)th term = 6.5th term

Select the 6th and 7th term = 11, 11

(11 + 11) /2 = 22/2 = 11

Hence, the median = 11

The distribution is negatively skewed, This was inferred from the shape of a distribution having a long shape positioned on the left side of the distribution.

The peak values are the 8th, 9rh and 10th values with only two values below in the right direction with the majority on the left.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
