Do you know how to find the median?

Answer 2

Okay. What is the median of the data?

Answer 3

The median will be the centermost line in the plot

Answer 4

19.5

Answer 5

Okay, so that rules out the 3rd one.

Answer 6

Now the lowest and highest numbers in the data become the whiskers.

All the answers have the correct whiskers, so we move on the the quartiles.

Answer 8

The quartiles are the medians of the two halves divided by the median.

Does that make sense?

Answer 10

I dont mean you divide them together, I mean the median of the data divides the data into two halves

Answer 11

then you find the median of the two halves

Answer 12

then the quartiles become the outer edges of the box part
