Which statement best compares the spread of the data sets?

Choice B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida, 11, is greater than the IQR for Australia, 4.

The spread of a data set is a measure of the dispersion or variability of the data set. The spread can be measured by various statistical quantities depending on the nature of the data (skewed or symmetric);

The IQR

Variance

Standard Deviation

Range

A box plot is a graphical representation of the five number summary;

The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and the maximum value in that order.

The IQR is defined as;

third quartile - first quartile

With this definition, the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida is;

28 - 17 = 11

while the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Australia is;

14 - 10 = 4

Therefore, the Interquartile Range (IQR) for Florida, 11, is greater than the IQR for Australia, 4.

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
