Question

The box plot above represents the distribution of temperatures in Dallas for the last 16 days. What can be interpreted from this plot?

A. 2 of the days had temperatures of 70 or lower.
B. 4 of the days had temperatures of 70 or higher.
C. 3 of the days had temperatures of 50 or lower.
D. 4 of the days had temperatures of 55 or higher.

Answer 1

The box plot represents the distribution of temperatures in Dallas for the last 16 days. Option B and D are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The box plot above represents the distribution of temperatures in Dallas for the last 16 days. To interpret this plot, we can use the following information:

1. The lower whisker represents the minimum temperature, which is approximately 50.
2. The bottom of the box represents the lower quartile (Q1), which is approximately 68.
3. The line inside the box represents the median, which is approximately 70.
4. The top of the box represents the upper quartile (Q3), which is approximately 75.
5. The upper whisker represents the maximum temperature, which is approximately 80.

Based on this information, we can conclude that:

1. Option A is false because the temperatures of 70 or lower only include 1 day, not 2.
2. Option B is true because the temperatures of 70 or higher include 4 days.
3. Option C is false because the temperatures of 50 or lower include 0 days.
4. Option D is true because the temperatures of 55 or higher include 4 days.
