Answer:

Option: A is the correct answer.

The median of the box and whisker plot is:

A. 41

Explanation:

From the box and whisker plot that is provided to us we see that we are given following information:

  • Minimum value= 35
  • Maximum value of the data is: 55
  • Hence, Range of the data set is: Maximum value-Minimum value

Range =55-35=20

  • First quartile or lower quartile i.e.
    Q_1 is: 37
  • Middle quartile or median of data is:
    Q _2 is: 41
  • Upper quartile or third quartile of data is:
    Q_3 is: 49
  • Interquartile Range i.e. IQR is:
    Q_3-Q_1

=
49-37

IQR = 12

Hence, the median is: 41
