Answer:
$0.036
Step-by-step explanation:
I will be solving this questions in a rational, proportional way.
This question given is directly proportional. There are two types of proportion.
Direct - Let's say there are two values, x and y. In direct proportion, while x increases, y increases with it.
Inverse- Taking x and y, in inverse proportion, while x increases, y decreases or while y increases, x decreases.
In the given example, there are two values, number of plates and cost of plates. While the number of plates increases, the cost would surely increase. Therefore, giving us that it is a direct proportion.
500 plates : $18.00 :: 1 : $x
500 plates is to 18 dollars, then, 1 plate is to how many dollars?
In direct proportion, the product of extremes is equal to the product of means.
500(x) = 18(1)
500x = 18
x = 18 / 500
x = 0.036
Hence, one plate costs $0.036 or 3.6 cents
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
In an equation for which we are looking for the constant of proportionality, we use the base form below.
y = kx
In which k is the constant of proportionality. If we use the equation given
y = 2x
We can see k = 2
Answer:
$20.63 if you tip on the pre-tax amount
Step-by-step explanation:
You pay $12.99 for the pizza, plus the 8% tax on the pizza, plus the 20% tip of the cost of the pizza, so if you tip on the pre-tax amount, you pay
$12.99(0.08) = $1.04 in sales tax
$12.99(0.2) = $2.60 for the tip
and $4 delivery charge,
so you pay a total of
$12.99 + $1.04 + $2.60 + $4 = $20.63

==========================================================
Explanation:
The box plot, aka "box-and-whisker plot", visually represents five things. These things are:
- Minimum
- Q1 = first quartile
- Median (sometimes referred to as Q2 or second quartile)
- Q3 = third quartile
- Maximum
This list of five items is known as the five number summary.
The min is the tip of the left most whisker, assuming there aren't any small outliers. The max is the opposite side, being the tip of the right most whisker (assuming no large outliers). If there are any outliers, then they'll be shown as "island" dots on their own separated from the main box plot. The left and right edges of the box are Q1 and Q3 respectively. The median is the vertical line inside the box. The vertical line does not have to be at the midpoint of the left and right edges of the box. It simply needs to be somewhere in the box.
--------
Since the box plot lets us know the min and max, we can compute the range because
range = max - min
and we can also calculate the interquartile range (IQR) because
IQR = Q3 - Q1
--------
So to summarize so far, the five number summary is visually represented as the box plot. The range and IQR can be computed using items from the five number summary.
We cannot compute the mean because we would need the actual data set of values, rather than the summary data. The same goes for the mean absolute deviation (MAD) and the mode. Since your teacher is looking for things that cannot be determined from a box plot, we'll go for answers B, C and E.
In other words, we rule out choices A, D, and F because we can compute or determine those values from a box plot.
