Question

he following chart reports the number of cell phones sold at a big-box retail store for the last 26 days. a. What are the maximum and the minimum numbers of cell phones sold in a day? b. Using the median, what is the typical number of cell phones sold?

Answer 1

Maximum = 19

Minimum = 4

Median = 12

Explanation:

The maximum number of phone sold per day is the value to the right of the horizontal axis as the values are arranged in ascending order ; Hence, the maximum number of phones sold per day is 19

Also, the minimum number of phones sold per day is the value to the left of the plot, Hence, minimum number of phones sold per day is 14.

The Median value : 4, 9, 14, 19

The median = 1/2(n+1)th term

1/2(5)th term = 2.5 th term

Median (9 + 14) /2 = 13 /2 = 11.5 = 12 phones
