Question

the boxplot below shows salaries for actuaries and cpas. latasha makes the first quartile salary for an actuary. aaron makes the third quartile salary for a cpa. who makes more money? aaron latasha how much more? $

Explanation:

Step1: Identify quartile values

From the box - plot:

• For Actuaries (first quartile \(Q_1\) for Actuary): Let's assume the first quartile value for Actuary is \(Q_{1A}\). Looking at the Actuary box - plot, \(Q_{1A}=55\) (in thousands of dollars).
• For CPAs (third quartile \(Q_3\) for CPA): Let's assume the third quartile value for CPA is \(Q_{3C}\). Looking at the CPA box - plot, \(Q_{3C}=75\) (in thousands of dollars).

Step2: Calculate the difference

The difference in their salaries \(d=Q_{3C}-Q_{1A}\)

$$d = 75 - 55$$

$$d=20$$

Answer:

Aaron makes more money. The amount more is \(\$20000\)
