a. The smallest total was 308 (2).
b. The total of the two classes in the 300's was 706 (5), so 706 - 308 = 398.
c. The median number of cans collected was 421 (4).
d. The range of the total cans was 262 (2), so 5__ - 308 = 262, 308 + 262 = 570
e. The total number of cans collected from all classes was 2,130, so 308 + 398 + 421 + 570 + 4__ = 2,130, 2,130 - 1697 = 433
3__ = 308 (a.)
3__ = 398 (b.)
4__ = 421 (c.)
4__ = 433 (e.)
5__ = 570 (d.)
