1. a. Spanish has 8 symbols and each symbol
(Credit Tally (Number of
Card Months)
represents 50 million speakers, so Spanish is Balances)
so approximately 18 endangered species are
spoken by 8(50) = 400 million or amphibians. 3

400,000,000 people.
b. The shortest bar corresponds to arachnids, so

b. Arabic has 4.5 symbols, or arachnids have the fewest endangered species.
4.5(50) = 225 million speakers. So, 2

400 million − 225 million = 175 million or 4.
175,000,000 more people speak Spanish $150−$199 | 1
than Arabic.
$200−$249 | 1
2. a. The European Space Agency corresponds to
1.5 symbols and each symbol represents $250−$299 | 1
8 solar system exploration missions, so the
European space Agency has undertaken
approximately 1.5(8) = 12 solar system
exploration missions.

b. Japan corresponds to 1 symbol, or 8 solar

system exploration missions. Thus, the
European Space Agency and Japan have
undertaken approximately 12 + 8 = 20 solar
system exploration missions.
3. a. The height of the bar for amphibians is 18,
5. The height of the bar for 80−89 is 12, so 12students
scored 80−89 on the test.
6. The height of the bar for 40−49 is 1, for 50−59 is3, for
60−69 is 2, for 70−79 is 10. So,
 1 + 3 + 2 + 10 = 16 students scored less than 80
on the test.

8.

9. a. The lowest point on the graph corresponds

to January, so the average daily temperature
is the lowest during January.

b. The point on the graph that corresponds to

25 is December, so the average daily
temperature is 25F in December.

c. The points on the graph that are greater than

70 are June, July, and August. So, the
average daily temperature is greater than
70F in June, July, and August.

4. A histogram is a special bar graph in which the width of each bar represents a class interval and the height of each
bar represents the class frequency.

5. Count the number of symbols and multiply this number by how much each symbol stands for (from the key).

6. A bar graph lets you visually see and compare the data.

7. A histogram is a special kind of bar graph.

Exercise Set 7.1

2. Colorado and Washington have the (same) least number of wheat symbols, so the least amount of wheat acreage
was planted in the states of Colorado and Washington.

4. Kansas is represented by 9.5 wheat symbols, and each symbol represents 1 million acres, so there were
approximately 9.5(1 million) = 9.5 million or 9,500,000 acres of wheat planted in Kansas.
6 million
6. Each wheat symbol represents 1 million acres, so find the state that has = 6 wheat symbols. Texas and
1 million
North Dakota have 6 wheat symbols, so they each have about 6,000,000 acres of wheat.

8. Oklahoma is represented by 5.5 wheat symbols and Washington is represented by 2 wheat symbols. Oklahoma
has 5.5 − 2 = 3.5 more wheat symbols than Washington, so 3.5 million or 3,500,000 more acres of wheat were
planted in Oklahoma.

10. 2006 has 8 flames and each flame represents 12,000 wildfires, so there were approximately
8(12,000) = 96,000 wildfires in 2006.
72, 000
12. Since each flame represents 12,000 wildfires, look for the years that have more than = 6 flames. The
12, 000
years 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 had more than 72,000 wildfires.

14. 2006 has 8 flames and 2012 has 5.5 flames, which is 2.5 fewer. Thus, the decrease in the number of wildfires
from 2006 to 2012 was 2.5(12,000) = 30,000.

16. answers may vary

18. The shortest bar corresponds to November, so the month in which the fewest hurricanes made landfall is
November.

20. The length of the bar for September is 104, so approximately 104 hurricanes made landfall in September.

22. One of 51 hurricanes made landfall in October 2012. The percent is   or about 2%.
51

24. The bar between 26 million and 27 million corresponds to Jakarta, Indonesia, and the length of the bar is about
26.4 million. So the city whose population is between 26 million and 27 million is Jakarta, Indonesia and its
population is about 26.4 million or 26,400,000.

26. The two bars that are approximately the same length correspond to Delhi, India and Mexico City, Mexico. Thus,
Mexico City, Mexico and Delhi, India are the two cities whose populations are approximately the same.

28. The bar corresponding to Guangzhou, China has length 31.8 and the bar corresponding to Karachi, Pakistan has
length 22.8. Thus, the population of Guangzhou, China is about 31.8 − 22.8  9 million or 9,000,000 larger than
that of Karachi, Pakistan.

30.

34. The height of the bar for 200−249 miles per week is 9, so 9 of the adults drive 200−249 miles per week.

36. 9 of the adults drive 200−249 miles per week and 21 of the adults drive 250−299 miles per week, so
9 + 21 = 30 of the adults drive 200 miles or more per week.

38. 9 of the adults drive 150−199 miles per week and 9 of the adults drive 200−249 miles per week, so 9 + 9 = 18 of
the adults drive 150−249 miles per week.

40. 29 of the adults drive 0−49 miles per week and 17 of the adults drive 50−99 miles per week, so 29 − 17 = 12 more
adults drive 0−49 miles per week than 50−99 miles per week.
17
42. 17 of the 100 adults surveyed drive 50−99 miles per week, so the ratio is .
100

44. The shortest bar in the histogram represents the 85 plus age range, so the 85 plus age range will be the smallest
population group in 2020.

46. The population of 45-to-64 year olds is expected to be 84 million in 2020.

48. The population of 5-to-19 year olds is expected to be 66 million in 2020.

50. The population of 20-to-44 year olds is expected
to be 109 million and the population of
45-to-64 year olds is expected to be 84 million,
so 109 – 84 = 25 million more 20-to-44 year
olds are expected to be there than 45-64 year
olds in 2020.
70. Since the point corresponding to 2009 is greater
than the point corresponding to 2008, the total
score in the Super Bowl increased between 2008
and 2009.
72. 45% of 120 is 0.45  120 = 54.

76 − 70 = 6F.

62. 86. Kansas is represented by 9.5 wheat symbols, and

each symbol represents 1 million acres, so there
were approximately 9.5(1 million) = 9.5 million
or 9,500,000 acres of wheat planted in Kansas.
This represents 24% of the wheat acreage in the
9.5 million
U.S., so  40 million acres of wheat

Integrated Review
1. Registered nurses has 14 figures and each figure
represents 50,000 workers. Thus, the increase in
the number of registered nurses is projected to be
14(50,000) = 700,000.
2. General office clerks has 10 figures and each
figure represents 50,000 workers. Thus the
increase in the number of general office clerks is
projected to be 10(50,000) = 500,000.
3. Registered nurses, retail salespersons, and home
health aides each have 14 figures, so these
occupations are projected to have approximately
the same increase between the years shown.
4. Food workers has the least number of figures, so
the least increase is expected for food workers.

27. Let n be the unknown percent. 34. The supplement of a 48 angle has measure
5 = n  20 180 − 48 = 132.

28. The base is 20 and the amount is 5. The percent 1 = 1 because 1  1 = 1 .

29. 7.5% of $85.50 = 0.075  $85.50 = $6.4125 25 5 5 5 25
The tax (rounded to the nearest cent) is $6.41

and the total price is $85.50 + $6.41 = $91.91.
30. 7% of $23,000 = 0.07  $23,000 = $1610
Her commission is $1610.
31. simple interest = principal  rate  time

total amount = principal + interest
= $2000 + $400
= $2400
She will have $2400 from her investment.
37. 14 and 77 are the mode, since each of them
occurs twice in the list, while the other numbers
occur only once.
38. The numbers are already listed in order, and
there are an odd number of them, so the median
is the middle number, 56.
39. Tossing heads on the first toss, then heads again
on the second toss is one of the four equally
likely outcomes of tossing a coin twice, so the
1
probability is .

choosing a red marble is .
33. The complement of a 48 angle has measure 5
90 − 48 = 42.
