The box plot show the price of textbooks at a local high school. What range describe the middle 50% if the price (p) of the textbooks?

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the box plot is not attached.

However, the interpretation of the question is to determine the inter-quartile range (IQR) ; this represents the middle 50% of scores

To answer this question, I will make use of the attached box plot.

IQR is calculated as:

and are represented by the vertical edges of the rectangle in the box plot. [See attachment]

Reading and , we have:

The IQR is:

Hence, the range that describes the middle 50% of the attached plot is 13

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

the answers c
