The data set represents the total number of tuba players in each of 11 different school bands.
0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8
what is the lower quartile of the data?

Lower quartile=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a data set which represents the total number of tuba players in each of 11 different school bands.

        0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8

The ith quartile

Q(i) is i(n+1)/4 th term of the data sequence  i=1,2,3

lower quartile means the first quartile i.e. i=1 and here n=11

Q(1)=12/4 th term

i.e. 3 rd term

Hence, lower quartile=3

the final price would be 29.6925

step-by-step explanation:

39.59 minus 25% equals 29.6925

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
