Kudrey was making a box plot. He first plotted the least and greatest values. He then divided the distance into half, and then did this again for each half. What did Kudrey do wrong?
He assumes all quartiles
(select)
when, in fact, quartiles
(select)
. His error probably comes from thinking quartiles are based on the
(select)
when they are actually based on the
(select)
.

7.9m and 4.3°

step-by-step explanation:

let east be +x and north be +y, x = distance * cos θ, y = distance * sin θ  

for 3.5 south, y = -3.5  

for 8.2, x = 8.2 * cos 30 and y = 8.2 * sin 30  

for 15 west, x = -15  

total x = 8.2 * cos 30 – 15 ≈ -7.9  

total y = -3.5 + 8.2 * sin 30 = 0.6  

magnitude = [(8.2 * cos 30 – 15)^2 + 0.6^2)]^0.5  

the magnitude is approximately 7.9 m  

tan θ = y/x = 0.6/-7.9  

the angle is approximately 4.3˚ north of west
