Question

Linda collects a random sample of 12 of the 98 Wilderness Club members’ ages. She makes an inference that most wilderness club members are between 20 and 40 years old. Describe what a box plot that would confirm Linda’s inference should look like.

Answer 1

The box plot that would confirm the inference that Linda made would have a minimum value of 20 and a maximum value of 40. Somewhere in the between is the mean. The box plot should have a confidence interval of 95% in order to have the inference valid.
