Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The question has missing details; as what's required is not stated.
However, since it is a linear equation, possible questions could be
1. Determine the slope
2. Determine the D-intercept
3. Calculate the amount in dollars for (say) 5 miles
An equation is represented as:
Where
By comparing: to
and 
This means that the slope is 0.3 and the d intercept is 25
To get the amount for 5 miles, we substitute 5 for x in
<em>The cost of 5 miles is $26</em>
Make use of the above explanation to solve the question
(a)
Q1, the first quartile, 25th percentile, is greater than or equal to 1/4 of the points. It's in the first bar so we can estimate Q1=5. In reality the bar includes values from 0 to 9 or 10 (not clear which) and has around 37% of the points so we might estimate Q1 a bit higher as it's 2/3 of the points, say Q1=7.
The median is bigger than half the points. First bar is 37%, next is 22%, so its about halfway in the second bar, median=15
Third bar is 11%, so 70% so far. Four bar is 5%, so we're at the right end of the fourth bar for Q3, the third quartile, 75th percentile, say Q3=40
b
When the data is heavily skewed left like it is here, the median tends to be lower than the mean. The 5% of the data from 80 to 120 averages around 100 so adds 5 to the mean, and 8% of the data from the 60 to 80 adds another 5.6, 15% of the data from 40 to 60 adds about 7.5, plus the rest, so the mean is gonna be way bigger than the median of around 15.
It's d plus a -. Which is 20
