To make a box and whisker plot, first you write down all of the numbers from least to greatest.
0, 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10
The median is 4, so that’s the middle line of the plot.
So now we have:
0, 1, 3, [4,] 7, 8, 10
So next we have to find the 1st and 3rd interquartiles..
0, [1,] 3, [4,] 7, [8,] 10
Those are the next 2 points you put on the plot.
Lastly, the upper and lower extremes. These are the highest and lowest numbers in the data.
[0,] 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, [10]
These are the final points on the plot.
To make the box of a box-and-whisker plot, you plot the 3 Medians of the data: 1, 4, and 8, and connect those to make a box that has a line in the middle at 4.
Next, you plot the upper and lower extremes: 0 and 10, by making “whiskers” that connect to the box. So you draw a line from the extremes to the box.
Each dvd cost $7.50 how? Your friends buy 8 dvd's and in total is 60, you want to divide 60 from 8 and find that it's 7.50 and then multiply 8 to 7.50 and it should be 60. Hope this helps!!
"Will is twice as old as Jill."
Jill's age . . . . . J
Will's age . . . . 2J .
"Three years ago . . .
Jill's age then . . . . . J - 3
Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3
". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."
J - 3 = (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by 5 : 5J - 15 = 2 (2J - 3)
Divide
each side by 2 : 2.5 J - 7.5 = 2J - 3
Subtract 2J
from each side: 0.5 J - 7.5 = -3
Add 7.5
to each side: 0.5 J = 4.5
Multiply
each side by 2 : J = 9
Jill is 9 y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.
