Question

Which box plot correctly displays the data set with a maximum of 24, a minimum of 3, a median of 15, an upper quartile of

19, and a lower quartile of 6?

Answer 1

on my test on E d g e n u i t y 2020 A was right but i had four answers

Explanation:

this is what is should look like

Answer 2

Options are attached.

The minimum of 3 is represented by the lower extreme of line, the maximum of 24 is represented by the higher extreme of the line. However, you can observe that all options have these minimum and maximum.

Now, if the median is 15, the middle line of the rectangle must be placed in that number. If the lower quartile is 6, that means the left side of the rectangle must be placed in that number, and if the upper quartile is 19, that means the right side of the rectangle must be placed in that number.

So, we have to look for a box plot, which rectangle begins at 6 and ends at 19. As you can observe such box plot is not listed. Therefore, the answer is none of the above.
