Question: Adult cat Food eaten (ounces) Complete the table. Write your answers as whole numbers or decimals rounded to the nearest tenth. Median Interquartile range Kitten 3 1.5 Adult cat Graph: A dot plot of adult cat food eaten (ounces) is shown in the upper-left/center area, with blue dots stacked above values from about 3 to 6 on the horizontal axis; position_hint=top-left
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the median and interquartile range (IQR) for the adult cat food eaten (in ounces) based on the dot plot. 2. **Recall definitions:** - The **median** is the middle value when data is ordered. - The **interquartile range (IQR)** is the difference between the third quartile ($Q_3$) and the first quartile ($Q_1$), i.e., $$\text{IQR} = Q_3 - Q_1$$ 3. **Analyze the dot plot:** - The dots range approximately from $3$ to $6$ ounces. - Count the number of dots to find the data size. - Order the data points from smallest to largest. 4. **Find the median:** - The median is the middle value of the ordered data. - If the number of data points is odd, median is the middle point. - If even, median is the average of the two middle points. 5. **Find $Q_1$ and $Q_3$:** - $Q_1$ is the median of the lower half of the data. - $Q_3$ is the median of the upper half of the data. 6. **Calculate IQR:** - Subtract $Q_1$ from $Q_3$. 7. **Round answers:** - Round median and IQR to the nearest tenth. **Note:** Without exact data points from the dot plot, we cannot compute exact values here. Please provide the data points or counts for precise calculation.
