Complete question :
The data below represents the number of customers at each Slurpee Sam's Spaghetti Shop. 24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 34, 34. Which box plot correctly summarizes the data?
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
BOX plots provide information about :
Minimum, Lower quartile, Median, Upper quartile and maximum value of a dataset.
Given the dataset :
24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 34, 34
Minimum value = 24 (Lowest value in the dataset)
First quartile (Q1) = 1/4(n+1)th term
Q1 = 1/4 * 10 = 10/4 = 2.5th term = (25+29)/2 = 27
Second quartile ; median (Q2) = 1/2(n+1)th term
Q2 = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/2(10) = 5th = 31
Third quartile (Q3) = 3/4(n+1)th term
Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term = 3/4(10) = 30/4 = 7.5th term = (7th +8th) term = (32 + 34) / 2 = 66/2 = 33
Maximum value = 34 (Highest value in the dataset)
First dot = minimum value
Last dot = maximum value
First line of box = QI
mid line = median
End line of box = Q3
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we started out with 2,400 black rhinos.
And we know that they are declining at a rate of 10% per year.
In other words, each subsequent year will only have <em>90%</em> of the previous year's rhinos.
Therefore, our function is:
We can do some elimination first.
First, the starting point or y-intercept <em>must </em>be 2400 since that's the number of rhinos we started out with.
Therefore, we can eliminate A and D.
From the remaining choices B or C, we can technically also eliminate B. This is because from our function, we know it's exponential decay, and exponential decay is <em>not</em> a straight line.
However, to double check, let's check the population after 10 years using our function. So:
Use a calculator:
So, after 10 years, the population should be around 840.
B is definitely <em>not</em> 840 (at x=10). However, C is right around it.
Therefore, we can conclude that C is the right answer.
And we're done!
