Try to give help, not answers ^^

Answer 3

...and she deleted her answer. Do you know how to make a box and whisker plot?

Answer 4

yes I do but i am not so good at it so my answers aren't always correct @Aveline

Answer 5

Well, since you've ordered them, we can find out the answer fairly simply:
1, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, (6), 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10
There are a total of 15 terms. 6 is the median. Now that we've found the middle number, we divide the set into two:
1, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, AND 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10
The median of the set on the left is 4 and the median of the one on the right is 7. This is where you will put the left and right sides of your box.

Answer 6

ya so the median is 6, the Q1 is 4 and the Q3 is 7. The ends of the box and whisker plot are the min and max right? @Aveline

Answer 7

Right

Answer 8

hmm...well it has to be 4 and 8. am i correct @aveline

Answer 9

Why 8?

Answer 10

because the max should be more than the Q3.

Answer 11

It's cut off, but that's a 10 on the far right.

Answer 12

but the choices given don't have 10

Answer 13

i'm guessing they consider that an outlier

Answer 14

The whiskers reach from 1 to 10, but the box reaches from 4 to 7 (sorry I messed up on the drawing.
