Question

Which data set COULD NOT be represented by the box plot shown?

A) {9, 8, 9, 6, 12, 10, 13}
B) {14, 8, 12, 10, 9, 12, 4}
C) {4, 9, 8, 11, 10, 12, 14}
D) {4, 8, 8, 11, 10, 12, 14}

Answer 1

{9, 8, 9, 6, 12, 10, 13}

Explanation:

Write the data in numerical order. Find the first quartile, the median, the third quartile, the minimum (smallest value) and the maximum (largest value).

{6, 8, 9, 9, 10, 12, 13}

Thus,

low -- 6

1st quartile -- 8

median -- 9

3rd quartile -- 12

high -- 13

Therefore, this data does not match the graph.
