Question

Create a box and whisker plot of the data 24, 18, 29, 21, 16, 23, 13, 11

Answer 1

option B

Explanation:

24, 18, 29, 21, 16, 23, 13, 11

Arrange the numbers from smallest to largest

11, 13, 16, 18, 21, 23, 24, 29

Minimum is 11

maximum is 29

so the left line of the box starts at 11 and right line ends at 29

Middle dot inside the box is median'

Median = 18 + 21 divide by 2= 19.5, so median is 19.5

now divide the numbers in to two

11, 13, 16, 18, 21, 23, 24, 29

find the median for both

11, 13, 16, 18 21, 23, 24, 29

Q1=
`(13+16)/(2) = 14.5` Q3=
`(23+24)/(2) = 23.5`

Left edge of the box at 14.5

right edge of the box at 23.5

Option B is correct
