The median is the area between 150 and 200 and the biggest bubble in that area is at 30 percent. Hence (C) is correct.

Q1

Median = #175, the corresponding bubble is at 30%

C. 30%

Q2

State with the highest incidence of high cholesterol has a population of approximately 3 million ==> No. of people with high cholestrol in this state = .34 x 3million (top highest bubble) = 1.02 million

the number of people with high cholesterol in the state with the greatest number of farmers markets (last bubble) = .2875 x 13million = 3.73 million

the final percentage = 1.02/3.73=.273 = 27.3%

B. 28%

1. For the state with the median number of farmers markets, approximately____________percent of the population has high cholesterol.

Median s around 175. Look at the area closer to 200. It is 30% --C

2.. If the state with the highest incidence of high cholesterol has a population of approximately 3 million, the number of people with high cholesterol in that state is approximately____________of the number of people with high cholesterol in the state with the greatest number of farmers markets.

Approximately at 325 (area between 300 and 350) has highest number of farmers market and also has the biggest bubble. It is given that the biggest bubble has the value of 13mn. We have take its 28.75 %(30+27.7/2)=3.74

Highest cholesterol is at 34.5.Hence .345*3=1.035

They are asked to find 1.035/3.74=.2767= 28%

Hi pudu, can you please explain how median is 175. As per my understanding looking at the distribution of data points, median should be ~100. Am i missing something?

Hi pudu, Apologies for troubling you again with questions!

Let me share my thought process and can you help me bridge the gap? 35 states are shown over the chart, so median number of markets would be x axis values of all bubbles and selecting the one in the middle 17 towards left and right. Which would be the one with ~100 markets.

I could not follow the point regarding, size matters in case of bubbles? But how would that be relevant to this question.
