The box plots show the weights, in pounds, of the dogs in two different animal shelters.
1 answer:
*see attachment below for the box plots that is being referred to
Answer:
*The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B
*The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take each stated option and examine the box plot to see which is TRUE or NOT.
OPTION 1: "The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B."
The median for shelter A = 21,
Median for shelter B = 18
Median weight for shelter A (21) is greater than that for shelter B.
This statement in this option is TRUE.
OPTION 2: "The median weight for shelter B is greater than that for shelter A."
Median for B (18) < median of A (21)
This statement in option is NOT TRUE.
OPTION 3: "The data for shelter A are a symmetric data set."
This is NOT TRUE because the length of both whiskers are unequal and also, the box is not divided equally. One side is longer than the other.
OPTION 4: "The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set."
This is TRUE because the length of both whiskers are relatively equal, and also, the rectangular box is divided equally.
OPTION 5: "The interquartile range for shelter A is 8"
This is NOT TRUE.
IQR = Q3-Q1
IQR for shelter A is approximately = 28-17 = 11

Answer:
Austin will have to buy 180 squares of carpeting.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the dimension of the room. We do that by multiplying the width times the length and then subtracting the cut out region in the top right. And, in order to know how big that region we cut out is, we have to do a little subtraction.
We know the room is 18' long on the left side and 12' long on the right side. We subtract 12 from 18 to get 6, and we know that the cut out region is 6' long. We do the same thing with the width, 25' wide at the bottom minus 10' wide at the top and we see that the cut out is 15' wide.
18 x 25 = 450
6 x 15 = 90
450 - 90 = 360. The area of the room is 360
Each piece of carpet is 2' by 1'. So for every 2' long, the piece of carpet is 1' wide. Each carpet piece will cover 2 . Divide 360 by 2 and you get 180.
