Question 9
A college cafeteria is looking for a new dessert to offer its 4,000 students. The table shows the preference of 225 students.


Ice Cream Candy Cake Pie Cookies
81 9 72 36 27


Which statement is the best prediction about the scoops of ice cream the college will need?
The college will have about 480 students who prefer ice cream.
The college will have about 640 students who prefer ice cream.
The college will have about 1,280 students who prefer ice cream.
The college will have about 1,440 students who prefer ice cream.

Question 10
The box plots display measures from data collected when 20 people were asked about their wait time at a drive-thru restaurant window.

A horizontal line starting at 0, with tick marks every one-half unit up to 32. The line is labeled Wait Time In Minutes. The box extends from 8.5 to 15.5 on the number line. A line in the box is at 12. The lines outside the box end at 3 and 27. The graph is titled Super Fast Food.

A horizontal line starting at 0, with tick marks every one-half unit up to 32. The line is labeled Wait Time In Minutes. The box extends from 9.5 to 24 on the number line. A line in the box is at 15.5. The lines outside the box end at 2 and 30. The graph is titled Burger Quick.

Which drive-thru typically has more wait time, and why?

Burger Quick, because it has a larger median
Burger Quick, because it has a larger mean
Super Fast Food, because it has a larger median
Super Fast Food, because it has a larger mean

Answer:

B

B

A

B

D

C

Explanation:

5. B

65 = teachers

15 = principal

65/80 = 81.25

If there's is a total of 900 people, find 81.25 (number of teachers)

=731.25

=731

6. B

The best graphical representation for the teacher's data would be a histogram. A histogram is a graph that displays the distribution of continuous data, such as the number of students who prefer a particular subject. It shows the frequency of each interval, or bin, of values.

A stem-and-leaf plot is typically used for small datasets and displays each data point. A circle graph, also known as a pie chart, is used to show how different parts make up a whole and is not appropriate for showing the distribution of preferences among the students. A box plot, also known as a box-and-whisker plot, is used to display the distribution of data, but it may not be as useful for showing the specific frequencies of each preference as a histogram would be.

7) A

There's an image for it I attached

8) B

The correct circle graph that represents the data in the table is option B) circle graph titled New York City visitor's transportation, with five sections labeled walk 40 percent, bicycle 8 percent, car service 15 percent, bus 10 percent, and subway 27 percent.

In the given table, the number of visitors for each type of transportation is given. To create a circle graph, we need to convert the given numbers to percentages. Then, we can use these percentages to determine the angle of each section in the circle graph.

Using the given numbers, we can calculate the percentage of visitors for each transportation type as follows:

Walk: (120/300) x 100 = 40%

Bicycle: (24/300) x 100 = 8%

Car Service: (45/300) x 100 = 15%

Bus: (30/300) x 100 = 10%

Subway: (81/300) x 100 = 27%

Option B) correctly represents these percentages in a circle graph.

9) D

The best prediction about the scoops of ice cream the college will need is option D) The college will have about 1,440 students who prefer ice cream.

To make this prediction, we need to use the information given in the table and assume that the entire student body has the same preferences as the sample of 225 students.

According to the table, 81 out of 225 students prefer ice cream.

To estimate the number of students who prefer ice cream in the entire student body of 4,000 students, we can use proportions.

81/225 = x/4000

Multiplying both sides by 4000, we get:x = 81/225 x 4000 = 1,440

Therefore, the college will have about 1,440 students who prefer ice cream, and they will need to prepare that many scoops.

10) C

The drive-thru that typically has more wait time is option C) Super Fast Food, because it has a larger median.

The median is the middle value when a set of data is arranged in order. In this case, the median wait time for Super Fast Food is 12 minutes, and the median wait time for Burger Quick is 15.5 minutes.

This means that half of the customers at Super Fast Food waited less than 12 minutes, while half of the customers at Burger Quick waited less than 15.5 minutes.

Therefore, the wait time at Super Fast Food is typically shorter than at Burger Quick.

The mean, on the other hand, is influenced by outliers or extreme values, and it is not as robust a measure of central tendency as the median. Therefore, we cannot determine which drive-thru typically has more wait time based on the mean alone.
