One evening at a local pizzeria, the following number of toppings were ordered on each large pizza. 3, 0, 1, 1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 6, 4, 3, 2, 0, 2, 1, 3. Determine whether each statement is true or false. Explain your reasoning. A. the greatest number of people ordered a pizza with 1 topping. B. Half the customers ordered pizzas with 3 or more toppings, and half the customers ordered a pizza with 1 topping.

Answer 1

The answer is A.

Explanation:

This is a frequency distribution question. Tally how many customers orderedn 0 toppings, 1 topping, 2 toppings etc. Here is my tally. There are 24 total customer entries.

Toppings # people who had this number of toppings

0 - 4 people

1- 6

2 - 5

3- 5

4- 2

5- 1

6- 1

A. Is the answer because 6 people ordered 1 topping.

B. Is NOT the answer because the total for 3 or more toppings is 5+2+1+1=9 which is not half of 24.
