Answer:

Five-number summary in ascending order:
0.58, 0.89, 0.98, 1.26, 1.42

Explanation:

The number summary, in ascending order, includes the minimum value, maximum value, median value, upper quartile and lower quartile.

To find each of the above values, first, order the data set in ascending order. Our values given, when ordered, would be:

0.58, 0.59, 0.89, 0.96, 0.97,| 0.98|, 1.07, 1.14, 1.26, 1.28, 1.42

1.The minimum value (the least value or lower value in the given data set).

From the ordered data set, minimum value = 0.58

2. The maximum value is the highest value in the data set = 1.42

3. Median value is the middle value of the data set. The middle value is the 6th value = 0.98.

The median value divides the data set into lower and upper region, as shown below.

0.58, 0.59, 0.89, 0.96, 0.97,|0.98|, 1.07, 1.14, 1.26, 1.28, 1.42

4. Lower Quartile (Q2) is the middle value of the lower region = 0.89, as shown below,

0.58, 0.59, [0.89], 0.96, 0.97,|0.98|, 1.07, 1.14, 1.26, 1.28, 1.42

5. Upper Quartile (Q3) is the middle value of the upper region = 1.26, as shown below.

0.58, 0.59, 0.89, 0.96, 0.97,|0.98|, 1.07, 1.14, [1.26], 1.28, 1.42

: this is the middle value of lower region, after our median divides the data set into two.

0.58, 0.59, 0.89, 0.96, 0.97,|0.98|, 1.07, 1.14, 1.26, 1.28, 1.42

Therefore, the five-number summary in ascending order is as follows:
0.58, 0.89, 0.98, 1.26, 1.42

Min = 0.58

Q1 = 0.89

Median = 0.98

Q3 = 1.26

Max = 1.42

A box plot has been constructed using the five-number summary. Check the attachment below.

The min value is represented by the whisker that starts from your left and connects to the rectangular box.

The max value is indicated at the extreme end of the other whisker that you have from the end of the rectangular box to your far right.

The median value is indicated by the vertical line that divides the rectangular box into 2.

The lower quartile is indicated at the beginning of the rectangular box, while the upper quartile is located at the end of the rectangular box.
