Answer 1

The correct option is 3.

Explanation:

From the given box plot it is clear that

1. The left end point of the line is 27. So, the minimum value of the data is 27.

2. The left end of the box is 32. It means the first quartile of the data is 32.

3. The line inside the box represents the median. So the median of the data is 36.

4. The right end of the box is 37. It means the third quartile of the data is 37.

5. The right end point of the line is 40. So, the maximum value of the data is 40.

It means the box part of the box plot contains all the values between 32 and 37.

Therefore the correct option is 3.
