Numbers
New breast cancer cases in 2024
(GLOBOCAN): Saudi Arabia 3,865 · UAE 1,774 · Kuwait 982 · Oman 589 · Qatar 440
· Bahrain 433. The total is 8,083 cases, so the average is about 1,347 cases
per country.
(a) Use the bar graph: which country has the most cases? How
many more cases does Kuwait have than Bahrain?
Country
with the most cases: Saudi Arabia has the highest bar with 3,865 cases.
Difference
between Kuwait and Bahrain:
Kuwait
has 549 more cases than Bahrain.
(b) A country is “close to the average” if |c − 1347| ≤
500. Solve this inequality and show it on number line.
Add
to all parts of the
inequality:
Solution
Interval: 
(c) Which countries are close to the average?
Saudi Arabia: 
(Not close; 
)
UAE: 
(Close; 
)
Kuwait: 
(Close; 
)
Oman: 
(Not close; 
)
Qatar: 
(Not close; )
Bahrain: 
(Not close; )
UAE and Kuwait are close to the average.
(d) Graph y = |c − 1347| and write the vertex.
For the absolute value function 
, the vertex is at 
.
