Question

Which statment below correctly identifies the parts of the given box and whisker graph?

The upper quartile is 16, the maximum is 11, the median is 8, the minimum is 5 and the lower quartile is 2.

The median is 8, the maximum is 16, the minimum is 2, the lower quartile is 5 and the upper quartile is 11.

The lower quartile is 2, the minimum is 4, the median is 8, the upper quartile is 11 and the maximum is 16.

The maximum is 10, the upper quartile is 16, the lower quartile is 2, the minimum is 4 and the median is 8.

Answer 1

The median is 8, the maximum is 16, the minimum is 2, the lower quartile is 5 and the upper quartile is 11.

Explanation:

On the box and whisker graph, the whiskers gives us the maximum and minimum. The right whisker is the maximum and the left is the minimum.

We find the find the following in order from left to right on the graph.

The minimum=2, lower quartile=5, Median=8,upper quartile=11, maximum=16.

The correct answer from the given options is:

The median is 8, the maximum is 16, the minimum is 2, the lower quartile is 5 and the upper quartile is 11.

The second choice is correct.
