Answer 1

In a box-and-whisker plot, the upper quartile (Q3) represents the 75th percentile of the data, which is the value below which 75% of the data falls.

To identify the upper quartile from the given options, we would typically look for the value that is represented by the right edge of the box in the plot. However, since the specific box-and-whisker plot is not visible here, we can analyze the answer choices given:

1. 0-3 (This doesn't represent a single value, so it is likely not the correct answer)
2. -2
3. -0.5
4. 1

Without the box-and-whisker plot to reference, one can infer that the upper quartile is typically a higher value in the dataset but needs to be representative of the 75th percentile. Among the choices provided, 1 seems to be the highest and most likely candidate for the upper quartile.

Therefore, the upper quartile of the data illustrated in the box-and-whisker plot is likely 1.
