Answer 1

• The box plot gives data on the heights of vases in inventory.

• The heights are measured in inches.

Explanation:

Given the question and the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Define box plot.

In descriptive statistics, a box plot or boxplot is a method for graphically demonstrating the locality, spread, and skewness groups of numerical data through their quartiles.

STEP 2: Choose the correct statement

The box plot shows the minimum height, maximum height, first and third quartiles, and the median.

Therefore,

The box plot does not show the number of vases recorded

The box plot does not show the heights of mugs, just vases.

The height is measured in inches, not centimeters.
