In purchasing food for a political rally, you erroneously order shucked medium-size pacific oysters (which come 8 to 12 per u. s. pint) instead of shucked medium-size atlantic oysters (which come 26 to 38 per u. s. pint). the filled oyster container shipped to you has the interior measure of 1.5 m x 18 cm x 28 cm, and a u. s. pint is equivalent to 0.4732 liter. by how many oysters is the order short of your anticipated count? assume 10 oysters per pint for pacific oysters and 32 oysters per pint for atlantic oysters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Dimension of the container =  1.5 m x 18 cm x 28 cm

volume of the container = 150 cm × 18 cm × 28 cm = 75600 cm³

also,

1 L = 1000 cm³

thus,

volume of the container = = 75.6 L

Volume of the U.S pint = 0.4732 L

therefore,

Number of pint in the container =

=

= 159.76

Also it is given that

Number of Pacific oysters per pint = 10

Number of Atlantic oysters per pint = 32

Thus,

for 159.76 pint

Pacific oysters in container = 10 × 159.76 = 1597.6 ≈ 1598

Atlantic oysters in the container = 32 × 159.76 = 5112.42 ≈ 5113

hence,

order short of your anticipated count = 5113 - 1598 = 3515

step-by-step explanation:

the results from a pre-test for students for the year 2000 and the year 2010 are illustrated in the box plot. what do these results tell us about how students performed on the 29 question pre-test for the two years?

if we compare only the lowest and highest scores between the two years, we might conclude that the students in 2010 did better than the students in 2010. this conclusion seems to follow since the lowest score of 8 in 2010 is greater in value than the lowest score of 6 in 2000. also, the highest score of 28 in 2010 is greater in value than the highest score of 27 in 2000.

but the box portion of the illustration gives us more detailed information. the middle bar in each box shows us that the median score of 20 in 2000 is greater in value than the median score of 17 in 2010. further, we note that the box and whiskers divide the illustration into four pieces. each of these four pieces represents the same portion of students. so, the upper half of the students in 2000 scored in the same score range as the upper one-fourth of the students in 2010, see the illustration at a score of 20.

by considering the upper one-fourth, upper half, and upper three-fourths instead of just the lowest and highest scores, we would conclude that the students as a whole did much better in 2000 than in 2010. we would conclude that as a whole the students in 2010 are less prepared than the students in 2000.

in this section, we discuss box-and-whisker plots and the five key values used in constructing a box-and-whisker plot. the key values are called a five-number summary, which consists of the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
