Question

The five values for a data set are:

minimum = 11

lower quartile = 12

median = 23.5

upper quartile = 27

maximum = 33

A number line going from 0 to 40 in increments of 5.

Where will the different sections of the box plot be located?

The box will go from to 27.

A line dividing the box will go at .

The left whisker will go from 11 to .

The right whisker will go from to 33.

Answer 1

The box will go from 12 to 27.

A line dividing the box will go at 23.5

The left whisker will go from 11 to 12

The right whisker will go from 27 to 33.

Explanation:

Just did it

Answer 2

The box-and-whisker plot for the given question is as shown at the attached figure.

Minimum = 11

Lower quartile = Q1 = 12

Median = Q2 = 23.5

Upper quartile = Q3 = 27

Maximum = 33

So, according to the given data and the figure:

• The box will go from 12 to 27 ⇒ Q1 to Q3
• A line dividing the box will go at 23.5 ⇒ Q2
• The left whisker will go from 11 to 12 ⇒ Minimum to Q1
• The right whisker will go from to 27 to 33 ⇒ Q2 to Maximum
