Jen used 1/2 cup of cereal and 2/3 cup of nuts to make trail mix. Her mother asked if she used more cereal or more nuts in the mix. Which statement correctly compares the fractions?

1/2<2/3. 1/2= half of a whole and half of a whole is 1/2. 2/3 is over a half so it means that 2/3 is better then 1/2 since 1.5 is actually the half of 3. Jen should say that she used more nuts to make trail mix then using cup of cereal to make trail mix because 2/3 is greater then 1/2.

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
