A group of 17 students participated in a quiz competition. Their scores are shown below: Score 0–4 5–9 10–14 15–19 20–24
Number of students 4 5 2 3 3
Part A: Would a dot plot, a histogram, or a box plot best represent the data shown above. Explain your answer. (4 points)

Part B: Provide a step-by-step description of how you would create the graph named in Part A. (6 points)

answer: b.48 for

step-by-step explanation:

d

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
