Life Span of Cats is 9, 10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 14, 15. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
A box and whisker plot—also called a box plot—displays the five-number summary of a set of data. The five-number summary is the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
In a box plot, we draw a box from the first quartile to the third quartile. A vertical line goes through the box at the median.
From the given box plot,
Minimum value is 9
Lowe quartile(Q₁) is 9.5
Median (Q₂) is 11
Upper quartile(Q₃) is 13
Maximum value is 15.
So, the data set is 9, 10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 14, 15.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
