Question

1. a restaurant keeps track of the number of gallons of orange juice it sells each day. the line plot shows the amounts for 14 days. amounts of orange juice sold part a during the next three days, the restaurant sells 2 1/2 gallons, 3/4 gallons, and 2 5/8 gallons of orange juice. plot these values on the line plot. part b what is the greatest amount of orange juice the restaurant sells in one day? a. 3 gallons b. 2 7/8 gallons c. 2 5/8 gallons d. 1 3/8 gallons part c what is the most frequent amount of orange juice the restaurant sells in one day? a. 3 gallons b. 2 7/8 gallons c. 2 5/8 gallons d. 1 3/8 gallons

Explanation:

Part A

• Locate \(2\frac{1}{2}\) on the line plot (it is at the mark labeled \(2\frac{1}{2}\)), and place an \(x\).
• Locate \(\frac{3}{4}\) on the line plot (it is at the mark labeled \(\frac{3}{4}\)), and place an \(x\).
• Locate \(2\frac{5}{8}\) on the line plot (between \(2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{20}{8}\) and \(2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{22}{8}\), \(2\frac{5}{8}=\frac{21}{8}\)), and place an \(x\).

Part B

• Convert the mixed - numbers to improper fractions or decimals for comparison:
• \(2\frac{7}{8}=\frac{2\times8 + 7}{8}=\frac{23}{8}=2.875\)
• \(2\frac{5}{8}=\frac{2\times8+5}{8}=\frac{21}{8}=2.625\)
• \(1\frac{3}{8}=\frac{1\times8 + 3}{8}=\frac{11}{8}=1.375\)
• Since there is no \(x\) at \(3\) gallons in the original line - plot (and \(2\frac{7}{8}>2\frac{5}{8}>1\frac{3}{8}\)), the greatest amount among the given options (considering the new data) is \(2\frac{5}{8}\) gallons.

Part C

• The most frequent amount is the value with the most \(x\)'s. In the original line - plot (before adding the new data), we need to check the frequency of each value. But if we assume that after adding the new data (one \(x\) at \(\frac{3}{4}\), one at \(2\frac{1}{2}\), and one at \(2\frac{5}{8}\)), we still consider the original most - frequent value. However, if we consider the new data:
• The value \(2\frac{5}{8}\) (after adding one more \(x\)): we need to count the frequency of each value. But if we assume that in the original plot, the most frequent value is not among the options A - D (but among the new data, if we consider the problem's options and the new data addition), we note that the problem may have an error. But if we consider the new data addition:
• Since we added one \(x\) at \(2\frac{5}{8}\), and assume that among the options given (A - D) and the new data, the most frequent (if we consider only the new data addition, but it's more likely a mis - print. However, if we consider the problem's structure, and assume that the intended answer for the most frequent (after adding the new data, and if we assume that the original most frequent was not in the options, but with the new data, if we consider the options):
• There is no multiple \(x\)'s for \(3\), \(2\frac{7}{8}\), \(1\frac{3}{8}\) in the new data. But if we consider the problem's options and the new data addition (assuming that the question is about the data including the new three days), and since we added one \(x\) at \(2\frac{5}{8}\) (and if we assume that before it had some \(x\)'s, but if we go by the options and the new data:
• The value \(2\frac{5}{8}\) is the only one with a new \(x\) among the options for part C.

Answer:

• Part A: Plot \(x\)'s at \(2\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{3}{4}\), and \(2\frac{5}{8}\) on the line - plot.
• Part B: C. \(2\frac{5}{8}\) gallons
• Part C: C. \(2\frac{5}{8}\) gallons
