Answer 10

The two dots on a box and whisker plot are the smallest and the largest numbers present in a series of data. That means that for station 3, there was a month when they received 0 false alarms.

Answer 11

But I cant tell how much a month it on there.

Answer 12

I don't think that that is important to the question; considering the wording to the question, this box and whisker plot shows the number of false alarms a county fire department received each month during a year, each number can be taken to represent the number of false alarms in a month.

Answer 13

Oh. Okay. Since the minimum number is 0, that means that they did no false alarms per month.

Answer 14

Yep :)
