15% of the students at river riverview elementary walk to school each morning 8% of the students ride their bikes to school 45% of the students ride the bus and 32% of the students are driven to school by their parents. choose an appropriate form of graphical representation for this data and explain your choice

As we can see that all the data provided in the question are in the percentage form , so the tabular graph will not be a good idea , It can make the data representation complex.

So we can use a bar graph , we can assume 360 degrees as 100% , and can show the different data percentages as shown in the bar graph as attached with the problem.

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
