An experiment to study the lifetime (in hours) for a certain type of component involved putting 10 components into operation and observing them for 100 hr. Eight of the components failed during that period, and those lifetimes were recorded. The lifetimes of the two components still functioning after 100 hr are recorded as 100+. There were resulting sample observations.

Which of the measures of center can be calculated, and what are the values of those measures? (Round all answers to two decimal places.)

a. What is median?

b. % trimmed mean

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
