Question

Can u help me with the boxplot of Area 1?

Answer 1

In order to create a boxplot of the Area 1 dataset, first let's put the dataset in crescent order:

`12,24,30,32,35,44,45,56,57,59,61,65,68,92,100.`

Since the set has 15 elements, the median is the 8th element, so the median is 56.

The median will divide the set into two smaller sets with 7 elements each. The first interquartile (IQ1) is the median of the first subset (so it will be the 4th element), and the third interquartile (IQ3) is the median of the second subset (so it will be the 12th element).

So the first interquartile is 32 and the third interquartile is 65.

Now we need the lower and upper limit of the set.

The lower limit is 12 and the upper limit is 100.

Now, creating the boxplot, we have:
