The data in the table below gives the number of thrift stores (second-hand stores) in five north western states. The standard deviation for this data is 229.54. Use this information to answer Questions 22 – 24.
Question 22
22.
How would the standard deviation change (increase, decrease, or stay the same) if each state had two more thrift stores? You do not need to recalculate the standard deviation.
Question 23
23.
If California with 1,883 thrift stores was added to this data set, how would that effect the standard deviation (increase, decrease, or stay the same)? You do not need to recalculate the standard deviation. Be sure to support your claim.
Question 24
24.
Kent found out that Alaska has 57 thrift stores. He says if you included Alaska and California’s thrift stores, the median is not affected. Do you agree or not? Explain your thinking.
The following data shows the percentages 17 students received on a recent math test in Algebra 1. Use this data for questions 25 – 32.
Create a box plot using the data from 25-31. Identify Q1, Median, Q3, Minimum, Maximum and any Outliers if they exist.
