1 answer:
*see attachment showing the box plot
Answer:
8 schools
Step-by-step explanation:
In a typical box plot, data set are usually represented and denoted by quartiles in almost equal proportion. That is, 25% of the data set falls between the min and the Q1 value. From Q1 to median value, we have about 25%. From median to Q3, we have 25%, and from Q3 to the max, we have about 25%.
In the box plot given, we have:
Schools that have participated for at least 3 - 7 years fall within Q1 (3) and Q3 (7). Therefore, we have about 50% of the total number of schools that have spent 3 to 7 years.
No of schools that have spent at least 3 - 7 years =

Answer:
1. 3 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the hurricane George is 1,728 kilometers southeast of Puerto Rico and moving northwest at 24 kilometers per hour.
First of all we will find the number of hours it will take for George to reach Puerto Rico. We can find number of hours taken by hurricane George to reach Puerto Rico by dividing 1728 by 24.
We can see that George will reach Puerto Rico in 72 hours. Let us convert hours to days by dividing 72 by 24 (number of hours in a day).
Therefore, the hurricane George will reach to Puerto Rico in 3 days, if the hurricane stays on its present course. Our first option is the correct choice.
