Line plot 3.

A student builds unifix cube towers to represent the ages of the five children in her family. She places them in order from smallest to largest. She removes the shortest and tallest tower then removes the next shortest and tallest tower. The tower in the middle is remaining. This student has just found which average?

Mean

Range

Answer from: jessieeverett432

Mode

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is Mode. Mode is basically a number or data item that appears most frequently in a data set. First lets see how we find Mode. To find the Mode in the data set, first the numbers or data items are placed in order. Then it is counted that how many times each number appears. A number or data item that appears most frequently is the mode.

So lets a student builds unifix cube towers to represent the ages of the five children as following:

3 1 2 2 4

Now the student first places them in order from smallest to largest

1 2 2 3 4

Now she removes the shortest and tallest tower. Shortest is 1 and tallest is having 4 cubes. After removal of shortest and tallest tower:

2 2 3

Then removes the next shortest and tallest tower. Now the shortest tower has 2 cubes and tallest has 3 cubes. After removal of shortest and tallest tower:

The tower in the middle is remaining i.e. 2

So as you can see the most frequently occurring from 1 2 2 3 4 is also 2 as it appears twice. So that means student has found Mode. Although the same method is used to find the median too but here the most appropriate option is Mode. Mean is the way to find the average but it is computed by adding the numbers in the data set with the total size of data. So its not an appropriate option because the method that the student followed does not match with the method to compute mean. Also range is not a valid option because range finds the difference of the largest and smallest number and the method that student used is different from the method to compute range. If we compute the difference between largest and smallest number we get 3.

Atrain traveled for 1.5 hours to the first station, stopped for 30 minutes, then traveled for 4 hours to the final station where it stopped for 1 hour. the total distance traveled is a function of time. which graph most accurately represents this scenario? a graph is shown with the x-axis labeled time (in hours) and the y-axis labeled total distance (in miles). the line begins at the origin and moves upward for 1.5 hours. the line then continues upward at a slow rate until 2 hours. from 2 to 6 hours, the line continues quickly upward. from 6 to 7 hours, it moves downward until it touches the x-axis a graph is shown with the axis labeled time (in hours) and the y axis labeled total distance (in miles). a line is shown beginning at the origin. the line moves upward until 1.5 hours, then is a horizontal line until 2 hours. the line moves quickly upward again until 6 hours, and then is horizontal until 7 hours a graph is shown with the axis labeled time (in hours) and the y-axis labeled total distance (in miles). the line begins at the y-axis where y equals 125. it is horizontal until 1.5 hours, then moves downward until 2 hours where it touches the x-axis. the line moves upward until 6 hours and then moves downward until 7 hours where it touches the x-axis a graph is shown with the axis labeled time (in hours) and the y-axis labeled total distance (in miles). the line begins at y equals 125 and is horizontal for 1.5 hours. the line moves downward until 2 hours, then back up until 5.5 hours. the line is horizontal from 5.5 to 7 hours
