1) A survey of 200 public universities indicated that the 25th percentile of the yearly tuition cost of the universities was $4600 and the 75th percentile was $7100. The minimum value was $2000, the median was 56000, and the maximum was $10,000. Use this information to construct a boxplot for the yearly tuition costs. 2) In a health food store, Jenny and Kevin create a trail mix from dried fruit, nuts, and granola. They buy 4 pounds of dried fruit at $3.50 per pound, 5 pounds of nuts at $4.50 per pound, and 2 pounds of granola at $4.00 per pound. Determine the cost per pound of the mix. 3) The number of yards that a football player rushed in the first 13 games of his NFL career are listed below. Find the mean and median number of yards rushed. Round the mean to the nearest whole number. Which measure of central tendency-the mean or the median-better represents the data?
