a maximum of 130 and a lower quartile of 10
a maximum of 130 and a lower quartile of 5
a maximum of 135 and a lower quartile of 10
a maximum of 135 and a lower quartile of 5

Answer 1

A. a maximum of 130 and a lower quartile of 10

Explanation:

Answer 2

(a) a maximum of 130 and a lower quartile of 10

Explanation:

The whiskers of a box plot extend from the minimum to the maximum. The box ranges from the lower quartile to the upper quartile. The middle line divides the box at the median.

Your plot has ...

• minimum: 5
• lower quartile: 10
• median: 40
• upper quartile: 105
• maximum: 130

The maximum and lower quartile are correctly described as 130 and 10, respectively.
