Question

Which choice below is a boxplot for the following distribution? 56, 52, 93, 50, 72, 62, 45, 72, 70, 58, 66, 91, 48, 74, 77, 71, 46

Answer 1

SOO confusedddddd

Answer 2

those are the boxplots to chose from!!

Answer 3

how do you do it??

Answer 4

45,46,48,50,52,56,58,62,66,70,71,72,72,74,77,91,93
median is 66
Q1 = (50 + 52)/2 = 102/2 = 51
Q3 = (72 + 74)/2 = 146/2 = 73
minimum value is 45
maximum value is 93

I want to say D

Answer 5

you are correct! thank you!

Answer 6

your welcome :) would you like me to explain it to you ?

Answer 7

what about this one pleaseeee. @texaschic101

Answer 8

first we will put the numbers in order...
2,3,3,4,4,6,7,7,8,9,10,10,11,15,17,18,19
find the median (the middle number) this number is also Q2(quartike 2)...the median is 8
do you understand so far ?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

is it 0?

Answer 11

(the first quartile)

Answer 12

now, to find Q1(quartile 1)....use the numbers before the median...
2,3,3,4,4,6,7,7....take the middle number of these numbers. If there are two middle numbers, take the average of those two numbers....(4 + 4)/2 = 8/2 = 4
Q1 = 4
Haven't lost you yet have I ?

Answer 13

ok, no i am following

Answer 14

To find Q3, take the numbers after the median...
9,10,10,11,15,17,18,19
Take the median of this set, which there is 2, so we find the average of the 2 middle numbers..(11 + 15)/2 = 26/2 = 13
Q3 = 13

now the minimum value is the lowest number....9
maximum value is the highest number....19

Answer 15

yes, i dont get how you know which box it is, if there are no numbers

Answer 16

sorry....I messed up....minimum value is 2 and maximum value is 19

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

it is tricky if there is no numbers....
minimum value 2 ---->Q1 = 4...so we know that Q1 is not far from the start.
median is 8 and Q3 = 13. From this, I can tell that the median will be closer to the end. And since the maximum value is 19....its not far from the end of the box.
You want to take a guess at which is the right one ?

Answer 19

oops...wait...the median is closer to the middle of the box

Answer 20

E?

Answer 21

since the median is closer to the middle

Answer 22

I am wanting to say B.......minimum value is 2 and Q1 = 4, so the box is not gonna be far from the start of the line. The median would be a little less then halfway.

Answer 23

correct! thank you! i have one more pleasee @texaschic101 ! your a hugee help!

Answer 24

im stuck.. cuz its an even amount of numbers

Answer 25

start by putting numbers in order...
5,25,33,34,34,37,37,40,42,45,45,46,46,49,73
(Q2)median is 40
(Q1) = 5,25,33,34,34,37,37 = 34
(Q3) = 42,45,45,46,46,49,73 = 46
minimum value is 5
maximum value is 73

Not 100% sure on this one.....it is either C or D....the median is supposed to be in the VERY MIDDLE. But there is a quite a bit of room from Q3 to the maximum value....I keep wanting to say C, but I am not sure

Answer 26

wouldnt the box be bigger?

Answer 27

cuz its bigger numbers

Answer 28

Your probably right.....Q1 = 34, Q2 = 40, Q3 = 46
the box is 12 spaces......I would go with D.

Answer 29

But Q3 is a pretty good ways from the maximum value......I am not totally sure on this one

Answer 30

aww.. you were right the first time! its c :[

Answer 31

oh...I am sorry

Answer 32

no worries! thanks for your help! ill prob need some more help soon if you dont mind :)
