GIVEN:
We are given a picture displaying two separate box and whisker plots, which are the ages of Oscar winning actors from 1975 to 2004. One box plot is for females and the other one is for males.
Required;
Match the data with its meaning in the box and whisker plot given.
Step-by-step solution;
We shall begin by illustrating the data points of a box and whisker plot as shown below;
We will now identify the relevant data and match it with its position on the box plot given as follows;
21; This represents the minimum value for the female box plot. MINIMUM RELEVANT FEMALE VALUE.
76; This value lies beyond the maximum value for both box plots and therefore does not belong to the data sets. NONE OF THESE.
35; A close look at the box plots shows that the closest this value represents is either the female lower quartile or the female median. NONE OF THESE.
52; This represents the male upper quartile which is just slightly beyond the grade for 50 on the graded line. MALE UPPER QUARTILE.
42; This data represnts the middle of the box for the males. MALE MEDIAN.
