Question

The five values for a data set are:

minimum = 11

lower quartile = 12

median = 23.5

upper quartile = 27

maximum = 33

A number line going from 0 to 40 in increments of 5.

Where will the different sections of the box plot be located?

The box will go from
to 27.

A line dividing the box will go at
.

The left whisker will go from 11 to
.

The right whisker will go from
to 33.

Answer 1

To create the box plot from the given data set values, we can locate each section based on the minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and maximum values.

1. **The box will go from the lower quartile (12) to the upper quartile (27).**
- So, it will go from **12 to 27**.

2. **A line dividing the box will go at the median (23.5).**
- Thus, the line will go at **23.5**.

3. **The left whisker will go from the minimum (11) to the lower quartile (12).**
- The left whisker will go from **11 to 12**.

4. **The right whisker will go from the upper quartile (27) to the maximum (33).**
- The right whisker will go from **27 to 33**.

Putting it all together, the answers are:

- The box will go from **12 to 27**.
- A line dividing the box will go at **23.5**.
- The left whisker will go from **11 to 12**.
- The right whisker will go from **27 to 33**.
