Answer 6

I am not sure, I'm not very good with this kind of math. I mainly work in other sections.

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

Okay, so first, what are the mean, median and modes of the data set?

Answer 9

mode:9.4

Answer 10

mean:9.4

Answer 11

Okay so with the box and whisker plot, it uses a five-number summary. The minum, QI (first quartile), which is the median of the lower half of the data. Then there's Q2 which is the median(middle) of the total data set. then Q3 which is the median(middle) of the upper half of the data set. Then, lastly, Q4, the highest data value.
so rearranging 9.4, 9.2, 9.7, 9.8, 9.4, 9.7, 9.6, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1,9.4
into least to greatest, what would you get?

Answer 12

Sorry about that, I was thinking of another graphing way. We don't need the mean or mode yet

Answer 13

is the answer b?

Answer 16

Sorry I;m trying to help several people at the same time >.<

Answer 17

I'm looking at it

Answer 18

Well it all makes sense, they all match up, except for 9.5

Answer 19

so b is correct?

Answer 20

the median of the total data set, would actually be 9.4. So, no, not correct. Look at either c or D

Answer 21

oh okay so c?

Answer 22

No. Did you even look at it?
9.1 is the minimum number, 9.2 is the middle of the lowerhalf, 9.4 is the median of the total data set, 9.7 is the middle of the upper half and 9.8 is the maximum. Look again

Answer 23

d

Answer 24

Exactly

Answer 25
