Answer 12

what did you get for the median

Answer 13

@jim_thompson5910 i got about 19

Answer 14

(18+21)/2 = 19.5

that's the median

Answer 15

so that means we can rule out C

Answer 16

@jim_thompson5910 yeah i figured that

Answer 17

the first lower half of the data set is 11,13,16,18

the midpoint of that set is (13+16)/2 = 29/2 = 14.5

so Q1 = 14.5

Answer 18

the upper half is 21,23,24,29

midpoint: (23+24)/2 = 47/2 = 23.5

Q3 = 23.5

Answer 19

@jim_thompson5910 so what would it be????

Answer 20

here's a summary


Min = 11

Q1 = 14.5

Median = 19.5

Q3 = 23.5

Max = 29


This is known as the 5 number summary

Answer 21

and here's how the 5 numbers correspond to the box and whisker plot
