The box plot shows the total amount of time, in minutes, the students of a class spend reading each day A box plot is titled Daily Reading Time and labeled Time (min). The left most point on the number line is 15 and the right most point is 55. The box is labeled 21 on the left edge and 48 on the right edge. A vertical line is drawn inside the rectangle at the point 37. The whiskers are labeled as 16 and 53 What information is provided by the box plot? The mean for the data The median for the data The number of students who provided information The number of students who read for more

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a box plot eh,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup i think its b or d number of students who rad for more than 21.8

OpenStudy (amistre64):

15 and 55 are pointless, they have nothing to do with the boxplot itself

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the mean isnt a representation of a box plot in general the median is

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the quartiles that make up the box dont tells us about the number of students etc ... they tell us about the amount of data that is above or below a given point

OpenStudy (amistre64):

out of 53-16 = 37 data points, 1/4 of the data is between 16 and 21 etc ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its still kind of between the c and the d i think because the box plot shows more than just 21.8

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is it only one correct option? or do you pick all correct options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then the median is the only real thing that we can ascertain from the boxplot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thx

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the median is 37 ,,,, the line inside of the box
