Slavik is looking to buy new clothes for his best friend’s weekend-long celebration. He wants to get the most for his money. He has gone to 7 stores and made a list of the prices for jeans, dress shirts, and sports jackets. He has $160 to spend. He needs to buy 1 of each item. What combination of items best fits his budget?
Answer:
The store Garth’s Warehouse with Jeans, Dress shirt and Sports jacket best fits.
Turn and Talk Why might it be better for Slavik to buy clothes that cost more, instead of buying all of his clothes at Hallie’s Superstore?
Answer:
At Halle’s superstore
The jeans cost $25, the Dress shorts cost $20 and the Sports jacket $40 for a total of $85.
He has $160 to spend. So it might be better for Slavik to buy clothes that cost more.

A box plot is a graph that shows how data are distributed by using the median, quartiles, least value and greatest value.
Connect to Vocabulary
The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data.
The upper quartile is the median of the upper half of the data.
Question 1.
Consider the prices for sports jackets that Slavik found: $78, $69, $54, $95, $89, $40, $85. Find the median, the lower quartile, and the upper quartile of the prices.
A. Explain how to find the median, then find the median.
Answer:
Given,
$78, $69, $54, $95, $89, $40, $85.
Arrange them in order
$40, $54, $69, $78, $85 $89 and $95
Sum of terms to calculate mean is $40 + $54 + $69 + $78 + $85 + $89 + $95
= $510
No of values are = 7
Mean = Sum of terms ÷ No of values
= 510 ÷ 7
= 72.8
Median is the middle value of the data set = $78
lower quartile is the lower value of the data = $40
Upper quartile is the upper value of the data = $95
B. The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data or data to the left of the median. What is the lower half of the data? What is the lower quartile?
Answer:
The lower half of the data is $40, $54, and $69 and the lower quartile is the median of the lower data.
Lower quartile = $54.
C. The upper quartile is the median of the upper half of the data or data to the right of the median. What is the upper half of the data? What is the upper quartile?
Answer:
The upper half of the data is $85 $89 and $95.
the upper quartile is $89.
D. You can do Parts A to C by using the following display. Fill in the boxes with the prices in order from least to greatest.
Answer:
E. So, the median is 
, the lower quartile is , and the upper quartile is .
Answer:
E. So, the median is $78, the lower quartile is $54, and the upper quartile is $89.

Question 1.
The prices of a quart of soy milk at different stores are as listed: $2.99, $3.29, $3.09, $3.79, $3.59, $3.39, $3.59, $3.89, $3.19, $3.49, $3.69, and $3.29. Find the median, lower quartile, and upper quartile of the data.
Answer:
Median = $3.44, lower Quartile = $3.14 and upper quartile = $3.74
Explanation:
Given tthe prices of a quart of soy milk at different stores are as listed: $2.99, $3.29, $3.09, $3.79, $3.59, $3.39, $3.59, $3.89, $3.19, $3.49, $3.69, and $3.29.
First let us arrange the data det in ascending order
$2.99, $3.09, $3.19, $3.29, $3.29, $3.39, $3.49, $3.59, $3.59, $3.69, $3.79, $3.89
Median is the middle value of the data set
Median = ($3.39 + $ 3.49) ÷ 2
= 6.88 ÷ 2
= $3.44
The lower quartile is called the median of the lower half of the data.
($3.09 + $3.19) ÷ 2
= 6.28 ÷ 2
= $3.14
The upper quartile is called the median of the higher half of the data.
($3.69 + $3.79) ÷ 2
= $7.48 ÷ 2
= $3.74
Question 2.

Arrange them in order
5, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 23, 27
Median = (15 + 16) ÷ 2
= 15.5
Lower quartile = (9 + 12) ÷ 2
= 10.5
Upper quartile = (20 + 23) ÷ 2
= 21.5

Answer:
The Median is called the middle half of the value for the data set
The data set has 16 values.
The values are even number
So to find the Median = (n9 + n10) ÷ 2
Lower quartile = (n + 1) ÷ 2
Upper quartile = (n + 1) ÷ 2

The question given is not a statistical question because it has only one answer and it’s not a collection of quantitative data.
What time does school start at Lincoln Elementary? is also not a statistical question.
What color is the principal’s desk at King Middle School?
is also not a statistical question.
How did your classmates get to school today?
The given question is a statistical question because the classmates can get to school with various means and not just one means. And we can get the data from the given question.
Question 11.
The number of hours Louisa worked each week over the summer were 19, 23, 18, 25, 16, 17, 21, 48, 20, and 13. Which measure of center best describes the data: mean, median, or mode?
Answer:
Given data is 19, 23, 18, 25, 16, 17, 21, 48, 20, and 13.
Let us arrange the data in ascending to descending order.
13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25, 48
Mean = 13 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 +20 + 21+ 23 + 25 + 48 = 220
Mean = 220 ÷ 10 = 22
Median = (19 + 20) ÷ 2
= 39 ÷ 2
= 19.5
Mode = 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 25, 48
