Question

A survey was conducted on ice cream sales. An ice cream shop was randomly selected, and the sales amounts from 12 summer days and 12 spring days were analyzed. The statistics from the sales of the ice cream shop are shown below. Based on these samples, what generalization can be made?

Answer 1

The data:

Spring Summer First Quartile $1,900 $2,500
Second Quartile (Median) $2,325 $3,100
Third Quartile $2,800 $3,850

The answer choices:

A.Not enough information is provided to draw any of these conclusions.
B.At least $2,400 of ice cream was sold for over half the days in spring and summer.
C.The largest amount of money was made on a summer day.
D. More than $2,300 of ice cream was sold for at least half the days in spring and summer

Answer 2

recall that, in a given dataset, half the data values lie above the median and the other half lie below

now, the median of the spring data is 2325 and the median of the summer data is 3100. What does that tell you about the sales for spring and summer?
