1 answer

To determine which veterinarian office has a median of 5 hamsters from a box and whisker plot, you would typically need to look at the line that represents the median value within the box of each plot.

In a box and whisker plot:

  • The "box" represents the interquartile range (IQR) and contains the middle 50% of the data.
  • The line inside the box indicates the median, which is the middle value of the dataset.
  • The "whiskers" extend from the box to show the range of the data.

To find out which office has a median of 5 hamsters:

  1. Look for the plot of each veterinarian office.
  2. Identify the line within each box.
  3. Check which line corresponds to the value of 5.

If you have access to the box and whisker plots, simply locate the office where the median line is at the value of 5. If you can provide more specific details about the box and whisker plots, I can help you analyze the information further!
