The box-whisker plot is missing. Check the attachment for the data.
The least expensive 50% of trail mix costs between $1.25 and $2.75 per pound, as these, depict the minimum point and the median (50% of data), of the given box-whisker plot.
The least 4 pounds of trail mix can cost $6.00, at the minimum rate shown in the box-whisker plot by its starting point of $1.25 per pound.
What is a box-whisker plot?
A box-whisker plot is a diagrammatic representation of data. The whiskers start from the minimum data and go up to the maximum. In between the whiskers is a box that starts from the first quartile of the data (below which 25% of the data lies) and goes up to the third quartile (below which 75% of the data lies). In between the box is a line, that indicates the median of the data. The median is the value of the middlemost data.
How to solve the given question?
In the question, we are given a box-whisker plot, showing the different costs of trail mix at different prices per pound.
1. We are asked how much the least expensive 50% of trail mix costs.
We know that 50% of data is depicted at the median which is the line in between the box in a box-whisker plot. So the least expensive 50% is shown before the line.
The minimum point in the data is $1.25 and the median is $2.75.
Hence, the least expensive 50% of trail mix costs between $1.25 and $2.75 per pound, as these depict the minimum point and the median (50% of data), of the given box-whisker plot.
2. We are asked to find the least cost of 4 pounds of the trail mix.
We know that the starting point of the whisker shows the minimum point in the data. Hence, the least cost of the trail mix is $1.25 per pound.
So, the cost of 4 pounds is $1.25 * 4 = $6.00.
Hence, the least 4 pounds of trail mix can cost $6.00, at the minimum rate shown in the box-whisker plot by its starting point of $1.25 per pound.
