The number of more does one of the heaviest bags weigh than one of the lightest bags filled by James with apples is 5/4.
What is dot plot or line plot?
The dot plot is the way of representation of the data. This data is plotted in the form of points or dots over an x-y axis. The dot plot is also known as the strip plot.
The number of more does one of the heaviest bags weigh than one of the lightest bags filled by James with apples is
James filled a number of bags with apples when he went apple picking. He recorded the weight of each bag. This line plot shows his results.
- Note that the value of 1/4 is 0.25 which is less than the value of 1/2 which is 0.5.
- The value of 3/4 is 0.75.
In the line plot, in the 6th section, we get the highest value as 5 1/2. Similarly, the lowest value in the line plot is 4 1/4.
The difference between these values is,
[tex]d=5\dfrac{1}{2}-4\dfrac{1}{4}\\d=\dfrac{5\times2+1}{2}-\dfrac{4\times4+1}{4}\\d=\dfrac{10+1}{2}-\dfrac{16+1}{4}\\d=\dfrac{11}{2}-\dfrac{17}{4}\\d=\dfrac{11\times2-17}{4}\\d=\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]
Thus, the number of more does one of the heaviest bags weigh than one of the lightest bags filled by James with apples is 5/4.
