For the box plot, plot the minimum and maximum on a line. then find the median of the data. divide the data into two groups and find the median of each and graph those, then draw the boxes. IQR is the third quartile minus the first. a quartile is a quartile regardless of size. both boxes are quartiles and both tails are too. hope that makes sense
Answer:
An apple costs $2.25. A mango costs $1.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = price of 1 apple.
Let m = price of 1 mango.
Cameron:
4 apples + 7 mangoes ----> total $17.75
4a + 7m = 17.75
Gavin:
2 apples + 5 mangoes ----> total $10.75
2a + 5m = 10.75
We have a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
4a + 7m = 17.75
2a + 5m = 10.75
We can use the elimination method to eliminate the variable <em>a</em>. Rewrite the first equation. Multiply both sides of the second equation by -2 and write below it. Then add the equations.
4a + 7m = 17.75
(+) -4a - 10m = -21.5
---------------------------------
-3m = -3.75
Divide both sides by -3.
m = 1.25
<em>A mango costs $1.25.</em>
Now we use the first equation and substitute 1.25 for <em>m</em> and solve for <em>a</em>.
4a + 7m = 17.75
4a + 7(1.25) = 17.75
4a + 8.75 = 17.75
4a = 9
a = 2.25
<em>An apple costs $2.25.</em>
Answer: An apple costs $2.25. A mango costs $1.25.
