Answer:

The median is 2

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the median for the number of pencils

Firstly, we have to write out the numbers that form the box plot ; we have this as;

1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,5

the median is sum of the 5th and 6th term divided by 2

The 5th term is 2

The 6th term is 2

So the median is;

(2 + 2)/2

= 4/2 = 2
