Question

which letter represents the maximum of the data set on the box plot? a b c d e

Explanation:

Step1: Recall box - plot components

In a box - plot, the right - most point (excluding outliers if there are no outliers in the traditional sense here) represents the maximum value of the data set.

Step2: Identify the right - most letter

Looking at the box - plot, the letters \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\), \(E\) are marked. The right - most letter corresponding to the end of the whisker (which represents the maximum in a non - outlier situation, and since there is no indication of outliers here) is \(E\).

Answer:

E
