Great job!
You need to compare the values in the United States column to the values in the South column in every row. Notice that the value in the South column is always less than the value in the United States column. Therefore, the statement is true.
Correct!
This column does not give information on the number of manufactured homes that were shipped; it only gives the average sales price of these homes.
Therefore, the answer is No: the statement cannot be shown to be true based on the information in the table.
That's right!
Look at the column titled "United States" and find the average sales prices for January and April. - January: $68,300 - April: $66,400 Then use the formula below to calculate the percent change. $$\displaystyle\mbox{Percent change} = \frac{\mbox{Difference}}{\mbox{Original}} \cdot 100\%$$ In this formula, the difference is $$\$68{,}300 - \$66{,}400 = \$1{,}900$$, and the original value is $68,300. __Ballpark__ the percent change using these values. $$\frac{\$1{,}900}{\$68{,}300} \approx \frac{\$2{,}000}{\$70{,}000} = \frac{1}{35} \approx \frac{3}{100} = 3\%$$ Therefore, the statement is false. The percent change is about 3%, not 5%.Incorrect.
