The following set of numbers represents the heights, in cm, of 16 people.

150, 151, 152, 153, 153, 150, 154,154,151, 151, 151, 150, 154, 150,151, 151

What is the decile of a height of 152 cm?

Respuesta :

Answer:So, the decile of the height 152 cm is the sixth decile.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the decile of a height of 152 cm in the given set of heights, you first need to arrange the heights in ascending order:

150, 150, 150, 150, 151, 151, 151, 151, 151, 151, 151, 152, 152, 153, 153, 154, 154

Now, since there are 16 heights in total, the deciles divide the data into ten equal parts. Each part contains

16/10  =1.6 heights. Since we cannot have a fraction of a height, we'll round up to 2.

The decile containing the height 152 cm is the sixth decile because the first five deciles contain 5 * 2 = 10 heights, and the sixth decile starts after that.

So, the decile of the height 152 cm is the sixth decile.
