Answer: Choice B) -4
The lower quartile, also known as Q1 or the first quartile, is the left edge of the box. In this case, that is at -4. We can drop a vertical line from the left edge of the box until we hit -4 on the number line.
Side Note: 25% of the data values are below Q1, while 75% of the data values are above Q1
Answer:
75 and 552 =627
Step-by-step explanation:
First=x
Second 7x+27
x+ 7x+27= 627
8x+27=627
8x=600
x=75
75*7+27 =525
525+27 = 552
Answer:
a. 1 1/8 b. 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up as a proportion to solve. For part a. we know that 2/3 of the road is 3/4 mile long. 2/3 + 1/3 = the whole road, so we need how many miles of the road is 1/3 its length. Set up the proportion like this:

Cross multiplying gives you:

The 3's on the right cancel out nicely, leaving you with

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 3/2:
gives you

That means that the road is still missing 3/8 of a mile til it's finished. The length of the road is found by adding the 3/4 to the 3/8:

So the road is a total of 1 1/8 miles long.
For b. we need to find out how much of 1 1/8 is 1 mile:
1 mile = x * 9/8 and
x = 8/9. When 1 mile of the road is completed, that is 8/9 of the total length of the road completed.
There will be two squares.
Think about it: The shorter side is 3.5 feet. The longer side is 7 feet. If he cuts it in half on the longer side, he's taking the length of that longer side, and dividing it by 2. 7/2=3.5.
So, you'd have two squares, both with a length and width of 3.5 feet.
