Emily Wilson was the top scorer in a women's professional basketball league for the 2006 regular season, with a total of 854 points. The number of two-point field goals that Emily made was 73 less than double the number of three-point field goals she made. The number of free throws (each worth one point) she made was 34 less than the number of two-point field goals she made. Find how many free throws, two-point field goals, and three-point field goals Emily Wilson made during the 2006 regular season. made

Free throw: 139

2 pointers: 173

3 pts: 123

Step-by-step explanation:

Set x equal to the number of 3pts scored.

Then get 2x-73 from the given number of 2pts relative to 3pts.

Then get 2x-107 from the given number of free throws.

Set up an equation in reference to the number of 3pts and multiply by pts for each type to get:

3x+2(2x-73)+1(2x-107)=854

where 3x is pts from 3pts

2(2x-73) is pts from 2pts

1(2x-107) is pts from free throws.

Simplify to get:

9x-253=854

Solve:

9x=1107

x=123.

Then plug in the number of 3pts scored into the other numbers.

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.
