The question is incomplete. The complete question is

A teacher promised a movie day to the class that did better, on average, on their test. The box plot shown in the below-mentioned figure shows the results of the test.

Which class should get the reward, and why?

- The 2nd-period class should get the reward. They have the highest score, a perfect 100.

- The 2nd-period class should get the reward. They have a higher median.

- The 4th-period class should get the reward. Though the medians are the same, the first and third quartiles are higher, so the students did better on average than in the 2nd-period class.

- The 4th-period class should get the reward. Their lowest score is an outlier and should be thrown out.

The box plot shown in the question provides the information that
In 2nd period the minimum of the data is 77, first quartile is 78, median of the data is 89, third quartile is 92 and the maximum of the data is 100.
Hence, the mean of the results of 2nd period is

\frac{77+78+89+92+100}{5}=87.2

In 2nd period the minimum of the data is 72, first quartile is 83, median of the data is 89, third quartile is 96 and the maximum of the data is 98.

Hence, the mean of the results of the 4th period is

\frac{72+83+89+96+98}{5}=87.6

Hence, obviously, the 4th period is having more mean.

Moreover, we can observe that if more of the marks are on the higher side the average will automatically be more. Hence, as the first and the third quartiles are more on the 4th-period, so the average marks for the 4th period must be better.

So, just by observing the box plot, we can give the statement that  "The 4th-period class should get the reward. Though the medians are the same, the first and third quartiles are higher, so the students did better on average than in the 2nd-period class. "

Therefore, the 4th-period class should get the reward. Though the medians are the same, the first and third quartiles are higher, so the students did better on average than in the 2nd-period class.

51.24 * 7.18 round each factor to its greatest place
mezya [45]

Answer:by mathatube

Step-by-step explanation:

What does greatest place value mean?

THE GREATEST OR HIGHEST PLACE VALUE IS THE DIGIT FARTHEST TO THE LEFT IN A NUMBER. IT COULD BE ANY NUMBER EXCEPT ZERO.

LOOK AT THE NUMBER 3654. The 3 is the greatest or highest place value number because it is the digit farthest to the left. The 3 is in the thousands place.

Look at the number again with a zero. 03654. The 3 is still the largest place value number because zero does not count.

Following the rules for Rounding

After finding the greatest place value number you can use the rules for rounding and round the number.

Example 1: round 24,356 the greatest place value.

Look to the right of the number in the ten

thousands place. It's a 4, so Round down.

24,356 is rounded to 20,000 because the highest

place value of that number is in the ten thousand

place.

Example-2: round 8,636 to the greatest place value.

8 is the number farthest to the left so it is the greatest place value number and it is in the thousands place

So look to the right of the number in the thousands

place. It's a 6, so round up.

8,636 is rounded up to 9,000 because the highest                                         place value of that number is the 8 in the thousands place.
