Answer:

<h2>The mean decreases, and the median remains the same.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a box plot is made by the quartiles of the distribution, the maximum value and the minimum value. So, from a box plot we can deduct the range, the median and the interquartile range.

In this case, the median remains the same at $9.5 per hour. The median is indicated by the middle line of the box, and you can observe that it doesn't change.

Now, the range of the data set decreases from 7 to 3.

On the other hand, the mean must decrease, because data greater than $11 doesn't exist in the box plot number 2, and the mean is a central measure sensible to those changes.

Therefore, the right answer is <em>The mean decreases, and the median remains the same.</em>

How many 3/4 are in 6?
beks73 [17]
Answer: There are 8 3/4 in 6

You can use a rule of three:
If in 3/4 there is 1 (3/4), How many 3/4 are in 6?:

3/4 → 1
6 → x

x=(6)(1)/(3/4)→
x=6/(3/4)→
x=(6/1)/(3/4)→
x=(6/1)(4/3)→
x=(6)(4)/[(1)(3)]→
x=24/3→
x=8

Answer: There are 8 3/4 in 6

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,3) and has a slope<br> of - 1/2?
mote1985 [20]

Determine the y-intercept:

We make the equation 3=-1/2(8)+b

3=-4+b

7=b

Since the y-intercept is b, we have our full equation: y=-1/2x+7

Hope this helped!
