First of all, when I do all the math on this, I get the coordinates for the max point to be (1/3, 14/27). But anyway, we need to find the derivative to see where those values fall in a table of intervals where the function is increasing or decreasing. The first derivative of the function is 
. Set the derivative equal to 0 and factor to find the critical numbers. 
, so x = -3 and x = 1/3. We set up a table of intervals using those critical numbers, test a value within each interval, and the resulting sign, positive or negative, tells us where the function is increasing or decreasing. From there we will look at our points to determine which fall into the "decreasing" category. Our intervals will be -∞<x<-3, -3<x<1/3, 1/3<x<∞. In the first interval test -4. f'(-4)=-13; therefore, the function is decreasing on this interval. In the second interval test 0. f'(0)=3; therefore, the function is increasing on this interval. In the third interval test 1. f'(1)=-8; therefore, the function is decreasing on this interval. In order to determine where our points in question fall, look to the x value. The ones that fall into the "decreasing" category are (2, -18), (1, -2), and (-4, -12). The point (-3, -18) is already a min value.
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the information observed from the attached box and whisker plot, the Fraction of dunk tanks which requires atleast 500 gallons of water. This fractional value will be the property of plot in the position marked as 500 on the plot. The point which refers to 500 gallons on the plot is the ticked point in between the box. This point represents the median value in a box and whisker plot.
The median value represents the 50th percentile value which relates to half of the distribution. This means that fraction of dunk which requires atleast 500 gallons is : (50/100) = 1/2
