Question

Ages A box plot showing ages of different students in maths class. outliers are 20 and 28. Median is 22.5. Lower quartile is 21.5  and upper quartile is 24.5. The ages of 8 different students in a college math class were used to make the box plot shown above. Which of the following numbers below is the range of the ages? A. 8 B. 18 C. 3 D. 5

Answer 1

The range of ages in the given college math class is 8, calculated by subtracting the smallest age (20) from the largest age (28).

Step-by-step explanation:

You are asking about the range of ages for a college math class based on a box plot. The range of a dataset is the difference between the largest and smallest values. According to the information provided, the outliers are age 20 and age 28. To calculate the range, you subtract the smallest age from the largest age.

So, the range of the ages would be:

Range = Largest age − Smallest age
Range = 28 − 20
Range = 8

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 8.
