Question

unit 1: lesson 3: practice problems - resource
1.) use the sentence starters and word bank below to help you interpret the value in the situation: note: you may need to use some words more than once
word bank
t hree - fourths maximum half speed middle intersection one - fourth minimum cars
a.) the smallest value is the ____ of the box plot. this shows the lowest speed of cars was recorded at __ mph when crossing the ____.
b.) the largest value is the ____ of the box plot. this shows the highest __ of cars was recorded at __, when crossing the ____.
c.) the median shows that ____ of the cars had a __ of __ mph when crossing the ____.
d.) the first quartile (q1) shows that ____ of the __ had a __ of __ mph when crossing the ____.
e.) the third quartile (q3) shows that ____ of the cars had a __ of __ mph when crossing the ____.
2.) typical number means look for the average and median of the given numbers.
3.) look for the average. try writing a list from the dot plot. for example, i see one 5, so i am starting my list with 5, then two 5.5, 5.5, and so on!
4.) skip #4

Explanation:

En un diagrama de caja, el mínimo representa el valor más bajo, el máximo el valor más alto. La mediana divide los datos en dos mitades. El primer cuartil (Q1) representa el 25% (one - fourth) de los datos más bajos y el tercer cuartil (Q3) representa el 75% (three - fourths) de los datos más bajos. En este caso, se asocian estos conceptos con la velocidad de los carros al cruzar una intersección. Los valores numéricos faltantes serían los valores reales de velocidad que no se proporcionan en la pregunta.

Answer:

a. minimum, [valor numérico faltante], intersection
b. maximum, speed, [valor numérico faltante], intersection
c. half, speed, [valor numérico faltante], intersection
d. one - fourth, cars, speed, [valor numérico faltante], intersection
e. three - fourths, cars, speed, [valor numérico faltante], intersection
