Question

Use the stacked box and whisker plot in the diagram below. What conclusion can be made about the lower quartile of the two data sets?

Answer 1

Given the stacked box and whisker plot in the diagram, you can observe that the lower quartile is the value that is on the left side of the box.

For Company #1, the lower quartile is 62. Therefore:

`Q_1=62`

For Company #2, the lower quartile is:

`Q_1=54`

Since:

`62>54`

You can determine that the answer is: Third option.
