Snack Purchases
1. **State the problem:** We have data on parents buying snacks over 4 weeks. We need to complete totals, identify prime and composite numbers, create a bar graph, and find differences in purchases.
2. **Complete the table (Total number of parents per week):**
We add the number of parents who bought Cup soup, Hot chips, and both (Cup soup and hot chips) for each week.
For Week 1:
$$25 + 43 - 11 = 57$$
(We subtract the overlap once to avoid double counting.)
For Week 2:
$$34 + 15 - 17 = 32$$
For Week 3:
$$30 + 23 - 13 = 40$$
For Week 4:
$$45 + 29 - 7 = 67$$
3. **Identify snack purchases represented by prime numbers each week:**
Prime numbers from the table by snack and week are:
- Cup soup: Week 2 (34 is not prime), Week 3 (30 no), Week 4 (45 no), Week 1 (25 no). None are primes.
- Hot chips: Week 2 (15 no), Week 3 (23 **prime**), Week 4 (29 **prime**), Week 1 (43 **prime**).
- Cup soup and hot chips: Week 1 (11 **prime**), Week 2 (17 **prime**), Week 3 (13 **prime**), Week 4 (7 **prime**).
Thus, the snacks with prime purchase counts each week are Hot chips and Cup soup and hot chips.
4. **Composite numbers in Week 2:**
Week 2 numbers are:
- Cup soup: 34 (Is $34 = 2\times17$, composite)
- Hot chips: 15 (Is $15 = 3\times5$, composite)
- Cup soup and hot chips: 17 (prime)
Composite numbers are: 34, 15
5. **Bar graph creation:**
Use the totals per week: Week 1: 57, Week 2: 32, Week 3: 40, Week 4: 67.
Title: "Total Parents Buying Snacks Each Week"
X-axis: Weeks 1 to 4
Y-axis: Number of parents (0 to 100 as labeled)
6. **Difference between parents purchasing cup soup and hot chips:**
Calculate total parents per snack over 4 weeks (subtracting overlap):
- Cup soup total: $25 + 34 + 30 + 45 = 134$
- Hot chips total: $43 + 15 + 23 + 29 = 110$
- Cup soup and hot chips total: $11 + 17 + 13 + 7 = 48$
Adjusted totals (not double counting those who bought both):
- Cup soup only: $134 - 48 = 86$
- Hot chips only: $110 - 48 = 62$
Difference:
$$86 - 62 = 24$$
So, 24 more parents purchased cup soup than hot chips over the month.
