Question

you keep track of the temperatures for two weeks and make a five - number summary of your data. which box plot shows the data? minimum 68 q1 72 median 79 q3 86 maximum 88

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the key values

The five - number summary has Minimum = 68, Q1 = 72, Median = 79, Q3 = 86, Maximum = 88.

Step2: Analyze each box - plot

• For a box - plot, the left - most whisker represents the minimum, the right - most whisker represents the maximum, the left - side of the box represents Q1, the middle line of the box represents the median, and the right - side of the box represents Q3.
• Check the first box - plot:
• The left - most whisker (minimum) is at 68, the left - side of the box (Q1) is at 72, the middle line of the box (median) is at 79, the right - side of the box (Q3) is at 86, and the right - most whisker (maximum) is at 88.
• The second box - plot has no whiskers (incorrect as we have minimum and maximum values).
• The third box - plot has the minimum not at 68 (incorrect).

Answer:

The first box - plot.
