Question

Find the median of the data in the box plot below. Cookies A horizontal boxplot titled Number of cookies eaten by each contestant, is plotted along a horizontal axis marked from 2 to 30, in increments of 1. A left whisker extends from 5 to 6. The box extends from 6 to 22 and is divided into 2 parts by a vertical line segment at 8. The right whisker extends from 22 to 25. All values estimated.

Answer 1

Diagrammatic representation of the summarized box plot is attached below :

Answer:

Range = 20

Median = 8

Explanation:

The median value of a box plot is obtained at the point where a vertical line divides the box into two parts. In the boxplot Given the median of the representation is 8. This is the point where the vertical line divides the box.

The range of the distribution is the difference between the maximum and minimum value :

Minimum (starting point of whisker) = 5

Maximum (end point of whisker) = 25

Range = 25 - 5 = 20
