Question

There are 520 employess at greenville publishing. Jasmine surveys a representative sample of employees on their transportation costs each month. The reults are shown in the box plot.

Answer 1

Answer:

130 ; 50% ; 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Using te boxplot to answer the underlying questions :

Number of employees who spend $10 or less corresponds to the lower quartile, which is up to 25% of the distribution :

Total number of employees = 520

Number of employees who spend $10 or less = 25% of 520 = 0.25 * 520 = 130 employees.

Percentage of employees who spend from $10 to $45 = Interquartile range

$10 corresponds to lower quartile = 25%

$45 corresponds to upper quartile = 75%

IQR  = 75% - 25% = 50%

Percentage who spend $45 or more

$45 corresponds to the upper QUARTILE (Q3) :

45 or more = 100% - Q3 = 100% - 75% = 25%
