Question

The table gives information on the total inventory in 2014 and the total items sold by a garden center over a 4-year period, from 2012 through 2015. The 19 ground-cover plants included in the table are among the top 35 plants sold by the company in terms of both total inventory and total items sold. In addition to listing the total inventory and total number sold for each plant type, the table also gives the percent of increase or decrease over the 2011 inventory and 2008-2011 sales numbers and the rank of each plant type for total inventory and total numbers sold.

Isn't question 3 ambiguous?
The question only mentions "total items sold by a garden center over a 4-year period, from 2012 through 2015" and "2008-2011 sales numbers"

How can we conclude that "Fewer purple flowers were sold in 2012–2015 than in 2004–2007"?

Sajjad1994 · Answer

Hi.

It is 2008-11. Fixed the typo.

Thank you!

Gemmie · Answer

None of the plants listed that bloom in the fall are white. => False

Sort by Color => Blue start Creeper blooms in Spring/Fall

The highest-selling type of creeper was the trumpet creeper. => False

Sort by Number sold, the highest selling is Carpet bugleweed

Fewer purple flowers were sold in 2012–2015 than in 2008–2011. => True

Sort by Color, the number of both purple flowers sold in 2012-2015 decreased compared to 2008-2011 period

Gustavoncf · Answer

Shouldn't the answer for 3 be 'False'?

We can't know if fewer purple flowers were sold in 2012–2015 than in 2008–2011, since the table only accounts for the top 19 selling plants (of a total of 35 plants)

What if the remaining plants were all purple, and sold more?

Is it True for additional st "More blue flowers than purple ones were in stock in 2014", can we assume in stock= inventory? I assumed that blue flowers dont include blue-lilac flowers

anshikag22 · Answer
