PLS HELP I REALLY NEED PLS PLS PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Which data set COULD NOT be represented by the box plot shown?
A) {12, 7, 9, 8, 7, 10, 10, 10, 6}
B) {10, 9, 7, 8, 12, 7, 6, 10, 9}
C) {6, 10, 7, 9, 9, 7, 12, 8, 10}
D) {12, 7, 6, 8, 9, 9, 7, 11, 14}

Answer 1

D) {12, 7, 6, 8, 9, 9, 7, 11, 14}

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, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 11, 12, 14}

Thus,

low -- 6

1st quartile -- 7

median -- 9

3rd quartile -- 11.5

high -- 14

Therefore, this data does not match the graph.

Answer 2

D) {12, 7, 6, 8, 9, 9, 7, 11, 14}

Explanation:

The box plot for Set D (below) has

maximum = 14

3rd quartile = 11.5

IQR = 4.5

=====

Your box plot has

maximum = 12

3rd quartile = 10

IQR = 3

=====

Sets A, B, and C all fit your box plot.
