Question

the following box plot was made from the data of the number of inches of rain for the month in a city in vietnam over a period of time.

match the following. some numbers may be used more than once and some may not be used at all.

minimum
this much or more rain fell in the city in 25% of the months.
median
q3

1. 0
2. 3.5
3. 5.5
4. 7.5
5. 10

Explanation:

Step1: Identify box plot components

The box plot's left whisker ends at 3.5 (minimum), box starts at 5 (Q1), middle line at 6 (median), box ends at 7 (Q3), right whisker ends at 8.5.

Step2: Match each term

• Minimum: Left whisker end = 3.5 (option 2)
• 25% of months ≥ value: Q3 (75% ≤ Q3 → 25% ≥ Q3) = 7 (not listed, but likely typo; if assuming Q3≈7.5, option4)
• Median: Middle line = 6 (not listed, but if assuming 5.5≈6, option3)
• Q3: Box right end =7 (not listed, if 7.5≈7, option4)

Note: The plot’s scale marks are 0-10 with intervals; exact values may align to given options:
Minimum=3.5 (2), Median≈5.5 (3), Q3≈7.5 (4), 25%≥Q3=7.5 (4).

Answer:

Minimum: 2. 3.5
This much or more rain in 25% of months: 4. 7.5
Median: 3. 5.5
Q3: 4. 7.5
