Ricardo has just taken over his parents' restaurant. He knows after working there for many years that one of the major concerns among employees is competitive pay. Specifically, Ricardo's servers think that they are paid less than servers in similar restaurants. To help investigate this issue, Ricardo employs a company that specializes in gathering data about pay rates for similar positions across the state. The company provides Ricardo with the following box-and-whisker plot.

Ricardo's goal is to provide his servers with competitive pay compared to other restaurants in the state. He currently pays his servers hourly rates ranging from $8.50 to $11.50, depending on experience and seniority. His median server pay is $8.83. Based on what he sees in the plot above, which of the following is an appropriate conclusion for Ricardo?
A.
Ricardo's median is consistent with the state median. Ricardo should leave his servers' pay as it is.
B.
Most of Ricardo's servers are paid more than the state median. Ricardo should leave his servers' pay as it is.
C.
Ricardo's minimum, maximum, and median are all significantly less that those of the state. Ricardo should increase his servers' pay.
D.
Almost half of other servers across the state make more than the highest paid of Ricardo's servers. Ricardo should increase his servers' pay.

Simplify the expression. enter the correct answer.

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).

Could someone me with this question i’ve been stuck on it for 20 minutes
