12. a. What percent of the customers in the cartoon are exactly the median age? b. Must one item from a data set fall exactly at the median? Explain. c. Can the company do anything about the shocking discovery? Explain.
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

13. Meteorology On May 3, 1999, 59 tornadoes hit Oklahoma in the largest
tornado outbreak ever recorded in the state. Sixteen of these were classified
as strong (F2 or F3) or violent (F4 or F5).
a. Make a box-and-whisker plot of the data.
b. Identify the outlier. Remove it from the data set and make a revised box-
and-whisker plot.
c. Writing How does the removal of the outlier affect the box-and-whisker
plot? How does it affect the median of the data set?
