Question

The line plot shows the measurement of liquids in eight identical beakers. If you wanted to put the same amount of liquid in each beaker how much would there be? The liquid is measured in milliliters.
A) 7 ml
B) 1/4 ml
C) 7/8 ml
D) 1 3/32 ml

Answer 1

C 7/8

With the graph, you add the values of the X's together and find the mean (divide by 8)

(0.25+0.5+0.5+0.5+1+1+1.5+1.75)/8
7/8

Answer 2

(1/4 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1 + 1 + 1 1/2 + 1 3/4) / 8 =
(0.25 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 1 + 1 + 1.5 + 1.75)/8 =
7/8 ml <====
