In this problem you would set these two equations equal to each other.
$8+ $1.50x = $10+ $1x
After this you would simplify the equation to isolate x (being the number of toppings you put on the pizzas)

$8+ 1.50x =$10+ 1x
-8 -8
----------------------------
$1.50x = $2 + $1x
-1x -1x
---------------------------
$.50x/.50 = $2/.50
_______________
x= 4 toppings and the pizzas would equal $14 total

Use the box plots comparing the number of boy dogs and number of girl dogs attending doggy daycare each day for a month to answe

The boxplots 1 and 2 represent the distribution of data using a five number summary for the male and the female attendance

The first box plot represents the male's boxplot.

So, we have:

Upper quartile (Q3) = 14
Lower quartile (Q1) = 2

The IQR is the difference between the above values

IQR = Q3 - Q1

So, we have:

IQR = 14 - 2 = 12

So: the IQR for the males' data is 12

<h3>(b) The difference in the median values</h3>

From the first and second boxplots, we have:

Median male = 10
Median female = 18

The difference (d) between these values is

d = 18 - 10

d = 8

So: the difference between the median values of each data set is 8

<h3>(c) The distribution of data</h3>

This is dependent on whether the dataset has an outlier or not.

From the figure, we have:

Male's data: presence of an outlier - use median
Female's data: absence of an outlier - use mean

So: the male dataset is measured by median, while the mean is a better measure of center for the female's data

<h3>(d) Reason for outliers</h3>

A possible reason for outliers is sampling problems
