Given the data set:


23,17,14,21,23,18,29,20,13

a. 1. You need to order it from least to greatest:


13,14,17,18,20,21,23,23,29

2. You can identify the Range. Therefore, the minimum point of the whisker must be on:


13

And the maximum point on the whisker must be on:


29

3. Determine the Median of the whole data set (the middle value in the data set). Since there 9 values in the set, you can determine that:


Median=20

4. Find the Median of the bottom half part of the data:


Median_(bottom)=17

5. And the Median of the top half is:


Median_(top)=23

Knowing all that data, you can create the Box Plot:

b. By definition, the first quartile divides 25% of the data. Therefore, you can determine that the percentage of the data that is above the first quartile is:


75\text{\%}

c. By definition, the second quartile divides 50% of the data. Therefore, the percentage of the data that is below it is:


50\text{ \%}

Hence, the answers are:

a.

b.


75\text{\%}

c.


50\text{\%}
