To make a box and whisker plot, first you write down all of the numbers from least to greatest.
0, 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10
The median is 4, so that’s the middle line of the plot.
So now we have:
0, 1, 3, [4,] 7, 8, 10
So next we have to find the 1st and 3rd interquartiles..
0, [1,] 3, [4,] 7, [8,] 10
Those are the next 2 points you put on the plot.
Lastly, the upper and lower extremes. These are the highest and lowest numbers in the data.
[0,] 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, [10]
These are the final points on the plot.
To make the box of a box-and-whisker plot, you plot the 3 Medians of the data: 1, 4, and 8, and connect those to make a box that has a line in the middle at 4.
Next, you plot the upper and lower extremes: 0 and 10, by making “whiskers” that connect to the box. So you draw a line from the extremes to the box.
Given :
A 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow.
To Find :
The shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole .
Solution :
We know , the ratio of height and shadow , will be same for every object .
Let , length of shadow of pole is x .
So ,
Therefore , the length of shadow of tower is 23.5 foot .
Hence , this is the required solution .
10^4 = 10,000
9 x 10,000 = 90,000
