Question

The table below shows 10 data values:


224 245 203 290 217
236 262 216 224 245


What values of minimum, Q1, median, Q3, and maximum should be used to make a box plot for this data?
Minimum = 203, Q1 = 245, median = 230, Q3 = 217, maximum = 290
Minimum = 203, Q1 =217, median = 230, Q3 = 245, maximum = 290
Minimum = 216, Q1 = 236, median = 240, Q3 = 245, maximum = 262
Minimum = 216, Q1 =245, median = 240, Q3 = 236, maximum = 262
