Answer:

a box plot

Explanation:

Given the number of employees at her company is 685

If she chooses to create a dot plot, it means that she need to draw a lot, the total number of dots is 685 and even a wide domain of the number of data values on the x-axis.

If she chooses the box lot, which means that she wants to displays the five-number summary of a set of data. The five-number summary is the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.

=> So it is the best fit for her choice.

If she chooses histogram, it means that she wants to group numbers into ranges to identify the underlying frequency distribution (shape) of a set of continuous data

Hope it will find you well
