A patient's temperature was recorded in degrees Fahrenheit every hour for 8 hr. The temperatures in Fahrenheit were 99.0°, 99.2°, 98.7°, 99.3°, 99.7°, 98.6°, 100.0° and 99.0°. Which of the following is the median temperature?
99.5°F
99.1°F
99.2°F
99°F
Correct Answer : B
The median temperature can be found by organizing the temperature values from the smallest to the largest value as follows:
98.6, 98.7, 99.0, 99.0, 99.2, 99.3, 99.7, 100.0
(for an even set of numbers, Median = frac{(frac{n}{2})th observation + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th observation}{2})
From the data set above, there are 8 temperature values. The median is the temperature value in the middle position, which falls between the (frac{n}{2} th) and ((frac{n}{2} + 1) th) position. Here N=8 and median is found as:
(frac{(frac{n}{2})th + (frac{n}{2} + 1) th}{2} = )(frac{(frac{8}{2})th + (frac{8}{2} + 1) th }{2} = 4.5th position)
The element in the 4.5th position is the average of the 4th and 5th element.
(frac{99.0 + 99.2}{2} = 99.1)
Thus 99.1 is the median temperature.

In the simple interest, we utilize the following formula to find the simple interest after a period of time in years.
I=P*r*t
I is the interest
P=Principal or initial deposit
r=rate
t=time in years
From the given problem, P=$600, r=6%=6/100=0.06, t=5 years. Then
I=$600*0.06*5=$180
After 5 years, Pat will earn an interest of $180.

We need to find the length of the rectangle from the given area and width of the rectangle. Let L be length if the rectangle. Then,
Area of rectangle=Length*width
Substituting area=32 in2 and w=4 inches
32=L*4
32=4L
Divide both sides by 4
32/4=4L/4
8=L
The length of the rectangle is 8 inches.

When dividing fractions, the division sign is changed into multiply sign and the first fraction is multiplied by the inverse of the second fraction.
Change division to multiply sign and find invers of 5/8. The inverse of a fraction is inverting the given fraction. The denominator becomes the numerator and the numerator becomes the denominator.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
to solve for x, we order like terms together and proceed as follows:
4x-3-5x=24
Add 3 to both sides of the equation
4x-3+3-5x=24+3
4x+3-3-5x=27
4x-5x=27
-x=27
Divide both sides by -1
-x/-1=27/-1
x= -27
Thus, the unknown value of x is -27
