Why are graphs used so frequently
in mathematics, and in daily life?
Can graphs be used to mislead people?

Example 1
Jerry wants to purchase a car stereo. He found 33 ads for
the stereo he wants and arranged the prices in ascending
order:
\$540 \$550 \$550 \$550 \$550 \$600 \$600 \$600 \$675 \$700 \$700 \$700
\$700 \$700 \$700 \$700 \$750 \$775 \$775 \$800 \$870 \$900 \$900 \$990
\$990 \$990 \$990 \$990 \$990 \$1,000 \$1,200 \$1,200 \$1,200
He is analyzing the prices, but having trouble because
there are so many numbers. How can he organize his

Jerry, from Example 1, decides
he is not interested in any of the
car stereos priced below \$650
because they are in poor
condition and need too much
work. Find the mean of the data
set that remains after those
prices are removed.

EXAMPLE 3
Rod was doing Internet research on the number of
gasoline price changes per year in gas stations in his
county. He found the following graph, called a stemand-leaf plot. What are the mean and the median of
this distribution?
Note the key
Slide 13
Financial Algebra
EXAMPLE 3 (cont.)
The mean: Add the data and
divide by the frequency (the
number of leaves).
1,188 ÷ 30  39.6
The median: The frequency is
30. Since it is even, find the
mean of the 15th and 16th
positions.
15th =39; 16th = 39
median = 39
Slide 14
Financial Algebra
Find the range and the upper and lower quartiles.
Range: highest – lowest
72 – 11 = 61
Slide 15
Financial Algebra
Quartiles
divide the data into 4 equal groups.
Q2, the median, creates 2 groups
Q2 = 39
Q1 is the lower quartile.
Find the median of the data below Q2.
There are 15 numbers in lower group. Q1 is in the 8th position, 23.
Q3 is the upper quartile.
Find the median of the data above Q2.
There are 15 numbers in the upper group. Q3 is in the 23rd
position, 55.

EXAMPLE 4
Rod, from Example 3, found another graph called a boxand-whisker plot, or boxplot.
•Plot the minimum, 3 quartiles and maximum on a
number line.
•Draw a box using Q1 and Q3 at either end.
•Draw a line through Q2, the median of all the data.
Find the interquartile range (IQR), Q3 – Q1
•55 – 23 = 32
Slide 17
Financial Algebra
Based on the box-and-whisker plot from Example 4,
what percent of the gas stations had 55 or fewer price
changes?

Financial Algebra
EXAMPLE 5
The following box-and-whisker plot gives the purchase
prices of the cars of 114 seniors at West High School.
Are any of the car prices outliers?
