Statistics: Analyzing Data by Using Tables and Graphs<br />

MINERAL IDENTIFICATION For Exercises 1–4, use the following information.<br />

The table shows Moh’s hardness scale, used as a guide to help<br />

identify minerals. If mineral A scratches mineral B, then A’s<br />

hardness number is greater than B’s. If B cannot scratch A,<br />

then B’s hardness number is less than or equal to A’s.<br />

1. Which mineral(s) will fluorite scratch?<br />

2. A fingernail has a hardness of 2.5. Which mineral(s) will it<br />

scratch?<br />

3. Suppose quartz will not scratch an unknown mineral. What is<br />

the hardness of the unknown mineral?<br />

4. If an unknown mineral scratches all the minerals in the scale<br />

up to 7, and corundum scratches the unknown, what is the<br />

hardness of the unknown?<br />

SALES For Exercises 5 and 6, use the line graph that<br />

shows CD sales at Berry’s Music for the years 1998–2002.<br />

5. Which one-year period shows the greatest growth in sales?<br />

6. Describe the sales trend.<br />

MOVIE PREFERENCES For Exercises 7–9, use the circle<br />

graph that shows the percent of people who prefer<br />

certain types of movies.<br />

7. If 400 people were surveyed, how many chose action<br />

movies as their favorite?<br />

8. Of 1000 people at a movie theater on a weekend, how<br />

many would you expect to prefer drama?<br />

9. What percent of people chose a category other than action<br />

or drama?<br />
